I met Molly at her family’s home in Mint Hill, she was nervous for about 30 seconds, then warmed up to the pictures:

Quite the classy young lady when I could get her calmed down enough to stop smiling:

Which were you Voted Molly, “best attitude” in your class? the convo is hazy…but these pictures should show it:

What photographers do at your wedding when you’re not looking

What does your photographer do when you’re not looking?

Take silly pictures…

What would you do?

Aw, my long arm technique needs work – can’t get our faces in focus!

International men of mystery, the Ontario Place pavillions do look like something out of a mid 70′s James Bond film.

So we better act the part!

And turn it into a fight scene on the precipitous edge where only the strong survive the sunset.

Or maybe it’s a kung-fu movie, who knows – after working a wedding for 8 hours your minds a little bent.

Ok but just in-case this is the first time you’ve met me or Amish – take a look at what I shot that day, and here’s a few of Amish’s images if you’re looking for a Toronto area wedding photographer. Just moment’s before our silliness:

Creative composition above – and being creative with the gel’s from my lights below:

It’s always good to have a second shooter for weddings because there’s often too much going on….Amish got mom coming down the isle:

While I got the bride crying

A nice close up of the ringing of the groom

Other times the assistant can scout areas to shoot when we’re limited for time – like Amish did for these portraits.

Amish also thought up this nice series of shots contrasting the boutonnieres:

Amish is a good natured guy who’s fun to shoot with so check him out for your Toronto wedding. He’s also got a rich cultural heritage and understanding of Indian wedding traditions if you’re planning something big like that.

Funky chicken for the hipsters among you…

Bostich and Fussible live performance on Morning Becomes Eclectic:

Well, you may ban your DJ from playing the funky chicke, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dance the step to a different tune! This music makes me feel silly and spastic all at the same time, which for me is not a new emotional cocktail – as I live it with My wife regularly. If you go out with us and get crazy silly, you’ll know what I mean – and this can be our soundtrack.

Last week, I had spend the night before salsa dancing with My wife and I had that hyper and smooth Latin style on the brain – but my scenester brain wasn’t happy with the traditional orchestral sound so I pitched you some fly mod tango music. This week – we’re flipping to the new release by the Nortec Collective which is what happens when some Mariachi get juiced on some Gran Patron and stumble into a club with a DJ that convinces them to jam with him. I prefer the MP3 service from Amazon.com where you can download and add them to your music library wherever you want – take advantage of that and download this free MP3 sample from the album! If you’d like to just drop your $8 and buy the whole album, use this link to get it. Otherwise you can preview everything from this player:
