The first time Shilpa landed on my blog was to check out a friend’s wedding images, and then she wrote me a beautiful email admiring our work & wanting to do a shoot for her 2nd wedding anniversary..and as always I was ALL over the idea.. I just love it when people value pictorial documentation of different stages of their life .. & now im SOO glad that Shilpa decided to write to me, because now she is not only a beautiful client of ours but also a good friend (err.. a COOL friend)..

here some images from their ‘Just Because’ shoot…

I wanted to share some images quickly from Cristina’s FUN Maternity Shoot..You’ll be seeing a lot of Cristina in the next coming weeks, because we are also photographing Cristina’s sister, Laura’s wedding next weekend! Happy Thursday!

Photo location: Mississauga City Center
Make Up & Hair Stylist: Kavita Suri

We all know that weather can be quite unpredictable in Canada, doesn’t matter what time of the year it is..The day of Ahmir & Aneesa’s reception we had planned to start @ the  Mississauga City Center for a photo session followed by their reception at the Versailles banquet hall. On our way to City center that day, I think we spoke to Ahmir & Aneesa various times over the phone about the photo session, because Toronto was experiencing a major rain storm. At one point we had turned back to meet at the hall to hold a photo session indoors instead of outdoor..And just when we decided to meet at the hall, to our surprise all of a sudden the weather totally cleared out.. errr..lets just say for a very brief time.. so we quickly turned back around and captured some truly beautiful images of Ahmir & Aneesa.. Enjoy!

PS: Part III of Ahmir & Aneesa’s reception coming soon this week!

enjoy!
