Grand Palladium Resort Wedding Photos, Punta Cana D.R.

My first wedding for the year of 2008 - a destination wedding in Punta Cana! It was a fabulous way to start off a fresh new year. I was very thankful I had a 2 month break between this wedding and my last wedding of 2007 - time to rejuvenate.

Who: Amy & Allen
What: Their Wedding Day & Trash-the-Dress Session
When: Friday January 11, 2008
Where: Grand Palladium Resorts, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Album Design: 7x7 Parent Book (Hardcover Magazine Style)

Here are just a few photos from the week:






A personal fav.




I thought it was so cute how Allen seemed "mesmerized" by Amy when she arrived to the gazebo.






Tourist.












Loved the rock!
















No Photoshop here. Those princesses were actually there!




Loved this photo of Allen.


Another personal fav.








This was the beginning of our Trash-the-Dress session.

PHEW! So many sessions! Thanks to each and every one of these couples for being so fabulous to work with. I now have the privilege of adding a multitude of these photographs to my online portfolio (which will be done soon!).

In addition to weddings and engagements sessions last year, I also did have a few family/lifestyle sessions and some corporate/commercial work - which did not get posted.

Stay tuned for 2008! To date, I've photographed 7 weddings and 4 e-sessions with many more to come.....

Ali & Roy :: Engagement Session, Toronto ON

Alison and Leroy came alllllll the way from New York City to meet with me in Toronto for their engagement session! It was an honour :)

It was a freezing cold day in December, but we endured the winter winds outside for a while and did a few more photos inside the Westin Harbour Castle.

Who: Alison and Leroy
What: Engagement Session
When: December 15, 2007
Where: Downtown T.O. and Westin Harbour Castle.

Here are some fun favourites from their session!
































I just loved this one!




The WHC had a really cool washroom on the main floor. Gotta luv that wallpaper!

It was certainly a pleasure and slice getting to know Ali & Roy - 2 fine American citizens. Congratulations to both of them tying the knot at the Majestic Colonial, Punta Cana D.R. in March!

Lindsay and Dustin :: The Falls Inn, Walter's Falls ON :: November 10, 2007

My final wedding for 2007 - Lindsay and Dustin.

Their fantastic wedding took place in November at The Falls Inn, Walter's Falls. The Falls Inn is an excellent venue for weddings with a smaller number of guests. (And they have amazing food!).

The weather was nothing short of absolutely fabulous. November is an excellent month for a wedding IMHO (as long as it doesn't rain).

Who: Lindsay and Dustin
What: Their wedding
When: Saturday November 10, 2007
Where: The Falls Inn, Walter's Falls ON












I love what The Falls Inn has to offer for photo opportunities - plentiful variety.










I loved this big steel pillar-type-pipe.












Love the lead-in lines with this image (and the setting sun in the background tops it off).




I couldn't decide between sepia or colour for this image.










Romantic.








This was a fun game during the speeches.


We did the candid booth after dinner.





Congratulations to Lindsay and Dustin!

Well that wraps things up for my 2007 wedding season. Now onto 2008! Stay tuned for 4 incredible weddings that I photographed in January in Punta Cana, D.R. as well as all 4 Trash-the-Dress Sessions!
