A two day Muslim wedding which started with the Mehndi/Sangeet event.
(Henna is applied to the brides hands and feet, while close friends and family gather for some pre wedding festivities)
Day 2; Saba and Raheel celebrated their wedding day beautifully at one of Toronto’s finest new Hotels.
One King West. With Stunning decor by Rias Designs.
Congratulations Saba and Raheel!

I am constantly asked about my equipment. Guests at weddings, friends and family get togethers, facebook, you name it!
I’ve always thought that people spend way too much time and money on equipment, and no time learning good photography technique!
Learn about lighting, (natural light is free!!!) good composition, and practice, shoot, shoot more!
You don’t need to go out and buy the latest, billion pixel camera, or top of the line lenses either! I started shooting professionally long before the onslaught of digital.
I used a fully manual entry level film camera. Canon A-1 with one lens!!! A 35MM. It worked amazingly, never needed a repair, infact I still have them sitting in my studio, as reminders of the good old days!
Some of my favorite images today were shot on those cameras! Today things are advancing so quickly! It’s really mind boggling!
If you can afford the expensive toys, by all means go for it! They sure are nice to have! But if you want to be a good photographer, learn how to shoot with the minimum!
Take a good course (No I don’t teach workshops either, there are about billion photographers who do them already!)
Just to prove my point this photo was taken recently on my daily bike rides, on lake Ontario.
Shot with my iphone! Yes, and not even the latest! It’s a first Gen Iphone! (can’t wait to get the new one!) But don’t worry, if you hire me I won’t show up to shoot with my iphone! (I may take a couple fun snaps though!)
FYI for those who still care; I currently work with Canons 7D and 40D. and an assortment of Canon prime and zoom lenses.

I just love collaborating with other creative professionals to make beautiful images.
This time we had a fantastic team of Models, Make up artists and Stylists.
Kavit Suri did an amazing job on Hair and Makeup. We had a beautiful Collection of Indian bridal fashions provided by Vishva Boutique, Men of India, and Savillian Custom Tailored Suits
A special thanks to Graydon Hall in Toronto for allowing us to shoot there, a Stunning venue for weddings.
Look for these images and more in the next issue of Asian Bride Magazine. (UK and International)

Rachael and Brad are both outdoor adventure types, Brad owns a cycle shop and Rachael is an avid cyclist.
So it was no surprise when I found out about their eco-friendly wedding.
The Flowers were made of Balsa wood! Yes wood! You have to see them up close and touch them to believe it.
Their so beautiful! Toronto Event Planner Cynthia Martyn once again out did herself putting all these beautiful elements of style into this simply Elegant and Eco-Chic wedding.
It all took place at the Canoe, one of Oliver & Bonacini Restaurants and on the 54th floor of the TD Bank in Downtown Toronto.
Rachael looked gorgeous in her Vera Wang dress, and oh so pretty in her pink shoes! I just love the Seating chart they had designed for the wedding.
