Had a pleasure of flying to Banff, Alberta recently to document a gorgeous Indian wedding at one of the most beautiful places in Canada – Lake Louise. It was a 2-day wedding. Day 1 took place at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel where Sikh, Hindu and other ceremonies were held from morning to evening. While the view of the mountains...
I recently came back from a photography trip where I visited Uganda and a small part of Rwanda. It took me a long time to pick the country to visit and I almost ended up going to Philippines. Thank God I didn’t, because it was during the time when the typhoon hit the islands. Eventually I decided to come back to Africa and chose Uganda...
What a great year it was! I’ve had a chance to travel to a few countries outside of Canada and photograph so many amazing couples. I’ve just spent a few hours looking at all the sessions and it brought so much joy and unforgettable memories which I shared with my clients. The secret is, one of the main sources for my inspiration is...
Not sure where to begin. I spent a few weeks in Morocco, Africa. On my 3rd day there I caught an infection which later grew into a severe form of bronchitis. I was in a lot of pain and there were days when I had no energy to even hold 1 of my smallest cameras. Thankfully antibiotics did the work (eventually, when I was able to visit a hospital in...
Every wedding is unique,even though sometimes the venues and places for photographs are the same. I always push myself to create new photographs and see things from a different perspective. As always, my clients are the ones to inspire me and push my vision higher. This wedding took place At the Liberty Grand in Toronto with a catholic ceremony...
These photographs are not from the actual wedding. Tony and Varuna live in Trinidad, a country mostly known for its one of a kind annual carnival. They got married a bit earlier and just wanted to have really good wedding photographs. We picked a time frame that was convenient for all of us and after 7 months of planning, I flew in for the session...
It is Tuesday and I figured it is about time I post something again as it’s been a while. It’s busy as always with local and destination weddings and engagements. For newly engaged couples I’d suggest to get in touch ASAP as almost all dates for next year are already taken!! With “anything goes” attitude from this...
With a summer-like March and a snowy April at the end of it, I think we are finally ready for the summer!! 🙂 Although this wedding took place in the winter, it was shot in Mexico at Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort so we had a really warm and (mostly) sunny weather. It was pretty cloudy on the day of the wedding and it almost rained at the end of...
Not often do I get to shoot themed engagement sessions. This one had a really cool retro theme, with an awesome old car and matching clothing. It was definitely a lot of fun to photograph! It was a little bit rainy on that day in Toronto and at first we even thought of changing the dates, but I am so glad we didn’t!! Here are a few of the...
I’d like to share some pictures from my recent trip to Africa. While I visited 4 countries, most of these images bellow are from Ethiopia, as it was the main purpose of the photo expedition. It was an amazing experience that enabled me to see some parts of the world that are not typically in the news; I was able to experience the lives of...
Graydon Hall Manor wedding venue is for the engaged couples who want a stunningly elegant all-in-one place to get married at. You can get ready upstairs in one of the rooms and have a private ceremony inside or outside in the beautifully landscaped garden. There’s a reason Graydon Hall Manor is considered as one of the best wedding venues...
When you think of a destination wedding, most would think of an ocean and sand. This couple however decided to do something a bit different and they got married in Costa Rica, La Fortuna @ the Springs Resort and Spa , near a live volcano & rain forests. It does rain quite often in the area, but we mostly managed to avoid it over the course...
Over the years I was fortunate to photograph a number of same sex weddings here in Toronto, Canada, Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY, USA As a photographer, it is great to see when 2 people truly love each other and I’d like to show a few photographs from one of such weddings that took place in Toronto. Unfortunately, one of the brides had a...
I was going to post this on Thursday,but looked at the date and it was April 1st. I figured some would think it’s a joke and I decided just wait an extra day 🙂 April-May issue of Photo life and Photo Solution magazines are out and it’s a feature on 5 best wedding photographers in Canada. It definitely felt good to represent Toronto...
I would like to share a few quick photographs from my recent journey to Antarctica. It was a truly once in a lifetime experience, though I’d be happy to go back there any time. Maybe someone soon will want to have a wedding in Antarctica… oh those would be some of the most unique and stunning wedding photographs ever. I already...
As a wedding photographer my job takes me different cities and countries every year. About 5 months ago I was flown to Atlanta, Georgia to photograph a gorgeous 4-day Ismaili wedding. As with all multi-day South Asian and Indian weddings, there were a lot of cultural ceremonies, great variety of beautiful and colorful Indian outfits for the bride...
Another beautiful wedding from Sudbury, Ontario. The morning started with the guys going over the speeches, jet skiing and playing tennis in the courtyard. 10 minutes away from the guys, girls were getting ready at the bride’s parents house. Reception and the dinner took place in an airplane hangar(decorated so beautifully, it looked better...
Very recently I came back again from Cuba where I was documenting another fabulous destination wedding. This cool wedding took place at Iberostar Laguna Azul resort in Varadero. This resort is so new that many locals don’t know about its existence yet(including taxi drivers). It rained a bit on the day and the ceremony location had to be...
A while back I went camping to the Bruce Peninsula National Park near a little town of Tobermory on Georgian Bay. Bruce Peninsula is also known for the Sauble Beach, which was named as one of the best 5 beaches in Canada. When I return home I thought how amazing it would be if I had a chance to take one of my couples there for a session. 2...

It is the most regarded wedding and portrait photo competition in the world! 5 additional images also received Accolades of Excellence. I am deeply honored to be chosen to be one...

On the second day we went into the town for some photographs,then the golf course for some fun(groom is really into golf) and then we finished the evening at...
