Hello!

Last December I had the opportunity to spend a month in India.
I went to shoot a wedding but found myself completely immersed in the rich culture of
this Incredible Country.
For as long as I can remember I have always been fascinated with India;
The history, architecture, people,  cuisine, faiths, and traditions.
From a photographers perspective India is a visual feast!

It had been my dream to go there to experience first hand the diverse cultures that make this place so special and beautiful in so many ways.It was all I expected yet so much more.
I witnessed things that broke my heart, and awakened my soul.
I feel I have been so enriched from this Journey, and since then I have been looking for a way to give back to this beautiful place, and it’s people!

I am pleased to announce that I have found a way, through these images you are about to see!
I have teamed up with Asha Canada, the Canadian arm of Asha for Education.
Whose stated mission is “to catalyze socio-economic change in India through education of underprivileged children.”
With 98.7% of their funds going directly to projects in India, Asha has consistently rated among the top 10 charities by Charity Navigator.
I am donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of fine art prints of these images to Asha for Education.

The images are giclee printed on museum quality, archival paper. matted and signed by me, the artist.
I have always been passionate about Photography, Indian Culture, and now I am passionate about this project.
Join me in making a meaningful contribution to India’s future with your purchase of one of these stunning images.
Celebrate this joyous season with a beautiful photographic gift for a loved one or for yourself,
and help to provide educational opportunities for India’s underprivileged children.

Another Beautiful Indian Wedding.

The Colours, Decor, Food, MMMMM  (I LOVE Indian food!!!)

Music was Awesome!!!! Best Indian fusion music I have ever heard at a wedding;

by the one and only DJ Amita from Besharam.  (She really rocked the house!)

But especially Priya and Erik, what a sweet couple!

And I have to compliment Raj from Dream Party Decor!

WOW!!!  What talent!

And a special thanks to my Associate photographer Michael!

Last year I was fortunate to spend a month in India, I was there to photograph a wedding, but took the

opportunity to travel on my own through the Northern region,  a life long dream come true!

I was in Mumbai last Christmas and visited the Taj Hotel, Victoria Terminous, and many of the locations

that were hit by last weeks tragic attacks.
I LOVED this city, and All of India!

If you know me, you know how passionate I am about India, and Indian Culture as a whole!  Last weeks events have deeply saddened me.

I don’t know why but it feels personal to me.

I hope and pray that India comes through this trying time and religious differences can be put aside. And all live peacefully together accepting each owns religious views. One thing I loved about India was witnessing the diversity in Culture and Religion and how devoted people are, whether Hindu, Sikh, or Muslim. Something we really don’t see much of here in Canada religion seems to be something tucked away and hidden here.
God bless India!
(Whomever your God may be!)

Kim and Kevin’s wedding was really quite beautiful!

The day started off with Kim getting ready, at home.

She looked stunning!  With a Casual Elegance that I just loved to photograph.

Carla Naylor from Faces By Carla did an amazing job on the Hair and make up.

The Ceremony and Reception took place at the Berkeley Church in downtown Toronto.

This historical landmark in the city, has loads of Character.

It’s Rustic interior, makes for a wonderful backdrop for pictures.

And is one of my favorite event venues in the city!

A special thanks to my associate Yianni for helping out!

Congratulations Kim and Kevin.

Wishing you many years of Joy!

I shot Geeta and Mark’s wedding last year.

They recently came in for their first family portrait session!

Tapassi and Snehal were married a couple weeks ago.

I had the pleasure of shooting this wedding at one of the most beautiful Temple’s in

Canada.  The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir.

The temple was constructed by 2,000 builders who were required to follow ancient Hindu rules

The temple was built using Turkish Limestone and Italian Marble.

It really is something spectacular to see in person.

No pics are allowed inside, but we were able to get a few of the exterior.

Here are a few of my favs from the day!

Congratulations Tapassi and Snehal!

Today is Diwali;

Diwali (or Deepavali) is a major Hindu holiday, and a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism, Budhism, and Jainism.  Today it is celebrated across the globe as the “Festival of Lights,” where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being.

This photo was taken last year in Varanasi, India.

Ok; I may be abit late to the party but;

I thought this would be a great way for me to connect with not only my friends and associates,

but all past, present and future clients.  A great way to share pictures, and recent events, in addition to my blog.

If your a facebook addict, add me!  I also have a facebook page, where you can become a fan.

See you there!
