The Italian Canadian Cultural Centre is one of those venues that is tucked away in a residential area. It's looks very understated from the outside, but once you get inside it is magnificent.

On top of that the staff we're great and the food was wonderful.

If you are getting married in Scarborough in the summer you should consider doing your outdoor photos at Guildwood Park. It is truly a gem of a location which is located right on the water.

This park has a very interesting history behind it. After World War 2 there was a huge economic boom and in Toronto it resulted in the construction of modern office towers. This resulted in the destruction of many architecturally beautiful 19th century buildings. Rosa and Spencer Clark made it their mission to rescue over 70 statues and facades from some of the more interesting buildings. These include some prestigious banks, private granite clubs, the original Toronto Star building and even the remnants of Toronto's first skyscraper.

This is a very busy park on Saturdays with the wedding crowd but it is very unique.

The Princess Banquet Hall is a perfect example of a modern banquet hall. They are very conveniently located and provide ample free parking considering they are so close to downtown Toronto. Their wedding reception service was impeccable - they catered to every need our clients had.

I'm a big fan of ethnic food and the curry goat they served at Jas and Albert's wedding reception was the best I've ever had in my life. I was also a big fan of their buffet serving dishes, they were so unique and fitting - I know it's a small detail but those are the kind of things that leave a lasting impression.

The Bob Rumball Manor House has a lot going for it in regards to being a great wedding reception venue. It's located in a beautiful section of  north east Toronto. If you are thinking of having a small intimate gathering of around 50 guests this might be the perfect location for you.

The last event I photographed there was a beautuful summer wedding. The reception was held outside in the courtyard. The whole area was surround by large old growth trees which gave the event a warm comforting nature feeling.

On top of being a fabulous wedding reception venue the Bob Rumball Manor is also a charitable organization with all proceeds from events held on the grounds going directly to the The Ontario Mission of the Deaf.

The first time we had the pleasure of visiting St. John the Baptist Norway church was during the wedding of Sarah Evans and Glen Schnioffsky. One of the things I found very interesting about this church was the interior walls. They were made out of standard house bricks. When I first noticed it I found in kind of odd - but after standing back and admiring the craftsmanship I've come away with a strong affection for the technique.

We really enjoyed shooting here - one of the reasons being the great lighting provided by the large natural light skylights and the beautiful stained-glass windows at each end of the church.
