Mercedes and Russel Engagement Shoot in Owen Sound

It was such a perfect summer day to drive up to Owen Sound to do makeup for Mercedes, for her and her partner’s engagement shoot with photographer Whitney Heard.

The light was so perfect, and Shannon Petrolito was on hair and I was on makeup and we did Mercedes hair and makeup outside, as it was simply too hot to go indoors. While we got her glam, her young daughters asked us about lipgloss and what eyeshadow was for. Suffice it to say, the morning was sweet and we had a blast and ended up going to Sauble beach when we were done! Best. Day. Ever!

SAMANTHA & JACOB’S TORONTO WEDDING

Samantha and Jacob’s backyard Toronto wedding was a first for me! First, because I had never done Sam’s makeup before but perhaps more notably, I had never done makeup for a bride who is also a triplet!

OWEN SOUND, SEPTEMBER WEDDING

One of my favourite getaways in Ontario which I discovered a few Septembers ago on another wedding, is Owen Sound. The majesty of Georgian Bay makes the 3.5 hour drive from downtown Toronto worth it- as the deepest royal blue waters unfolds before my eyes, I catch myself gasping every time. I feel the ancient-ness of these waters, something wild about them and deep yet serene- reminds me of the ocean and yet, it’s got it’s own specialness to it. I really can’t explain it but I love this location more than most for anything, especially weddings!

JENN & ANDY DOWNTOWN TORONTO WEDDING

Fall is my favourite time of year for weddings. Maybe the metaphor is too simplistic, but food and love are so intertwined in my world and the time of the harvest seems like it makes the most sense, as the best time to get hitched! When baskets are overflowing with everything, the richest colours adorn the trees and our tables, the sweetest honey oozes out from the hives, I feel love in the air!

ANDREA & CHRIS TORONTO ISLAND WEDDING

As summer officially starts, I find myself back in Toronto, after travelling overseas to visit family and craving some Toronto Island time. There was flooding there in late May when i left and I’m hoping the good people of the Island have been able to recover and that tourist season will be good to them. […]

UP WITH WOMEN! Up With Women is an amazing organization that my friend and creative director Sarah Lazarovic’s company works with. I have had the opportunity to volunteer with them a couple of times and am inspired by the work they do, helping formerly homeless women find meaningful and secure work. They do SO MUCH […]
