Friday … Saturday. Sweet Jesus. 

Indulge

What does it say about me that the highlight of a great GREAT weekend is an icecream cone. Sweet Jesus to be specific. They have a soft serve dipped in crushed cookies and caramel and brownie,  and … It lives up to its name. I can’t wait to try all their flavours. 

After a long workday, and delicious homemade raspberry pie as lunch-dessert, we went out to a hotel party, met some charmingly loquacious gents and then ended up at Betty’s.    
Betty’s has a second floor with a tin can and string pulley system to order drinks. 

 From the hotel we could see all of Toronto’s city hall. Saturday was a sleep in morning and then I went to see a friend in a production of The Skriker, followed by King’s Crown nachos at Sneaky Dee’s.    

It was a perfectly sweet Saturday. 

 Sunday was all about balayage. At my friend’s salon, Blonde, for a staff training … Which means new hair. And some Beyoncé Face Swap. And a crepe. And a picture of my cat.   Time for another work week. 

Repost: An open letter to Donald Trump

Open Letters

Hey Donald! Or should I call you President Trump? It certainly has a magnificent ring to it. Magnificent, obviously, in the way that a tornado heading for a redneck trailer park in, say, Texas, is magnificent.

A Sitdown with Wedding Photographer, Kate O’Connor of Sweetheart Empire

Love, style, Wedding

Just a week after my own article, about how wonderful it was to work with Kate O’Connor, a fabulous photographer, for our wedding images, the venue where we were married (Berkeley Church) contacted Kate to interview her; they also asked to feature our photos on their own blog.

They asked:

When approaching this lovely Berkeley Church wedding what were your considerations and aspirations?

I have three goals for every wedding:

  1. To see my subjects for who they truly are – loving, amazing humans taking a leap of faith;
  2. To make sure they feel comfortable, so that they can be themselves and enjoy themselves;
  3. To capture the wedding day FEELS with love and realness – both how people are feeling (emotionally), and the atmosphere of the day overall.

I wanted the brides and their folks to look back at the images and remember how it felt that day – the anticipation, the emotions, and of course the immense loving energy that happens when you are in a room surrounded by your loved ones.berkeley-church-toronto-wedding-ceremoney-weddin-alter.jpgberkeley-church-toronto-wedding-wedding-pritraits.jpgtoronto-weding-berkeley-church-toronto-venue.jpg
