• The film photography world is reeling today, after yesterday's announcement that the beloved Fuji400H film stock is being discontinued. Whyyyyyyyyyy?! This is a favourite of wedding photographers in particular. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fuji, I feel like I barely got to know you and your minty greens and soft skin tones. I know you will be missed. Can another company pick up the slack and create something similar? PLEASE?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Portra, I guess I’m all yours. . . . . . #torontoweddingphotographer #torontoengagementphotographer #lookslikefilm #torontophotographer #timelessweddingphotographer #torontoweddings #hamiltonweddingphotographer #niagaraweddingphotographer #weddingfilmphotographer #fuji400 #portra

  • Man oh man there's a lot of negativity out there right now. But if you've been following me recently, you may have been able to tell that I'm not having any of it. So here are a few reasons why 2021 actually won't be the same as 2020, from a wedding planning perspective. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. We've already been through a pandemic summer. We know that July will not look the same as January. Therefore, it's a lot easier to plan, knowing what last summer ended up looking like. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. We've seen the solutions. Last year, people came up with some of the most memorable, unique, and BEAUTIFUL weddings ever. Now that we have lots of gorgeous inspiration, it makes planning, and planning safely, a lot easier. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. We won't have to worry about the safety of our elders. In 2020, a lot of people rightfully didn't want to have events because of the risks to grandparents and parents. But older and high-risk people are getting vaccinated right now, and will be one of the first demographics to be completed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. When things start to get better, they will stay better. Because of vaccines, things will be on a steady march toward normalcy throughout the year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. 2020 changed weddings, and wonderfully so. Couples have realized that a wedding doesn't have to follow some cookie-cutter formula, and certainly doesn't have to be 300 people to be a blast. Love won, and will only continue winning! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 6. WE HAVE VACCINES PEOPLE. Things in that department are going to ramp up big time in the coming months, bringing much needed relief to the health care system, and allowing many more freedoms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So chin up. This truly won't be forever. . . . #torontoweddingphotographer #torontoengagementphotographer #lookslikefilm #torontophotographer #timelessweddingphotographer #torontoweddings #hamiltonweddingphotographer #niagaraweddingphotographer #weddingfilmphotographer

  • Here's another little daily dose of positivity for you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Vaccine Procurement Minister Anita Anand recently said that no further vaccines approvals are needed to meet Canada's goal of vaccinating everyone that wants one by September. In other words, we have enough of Pfizer and Moderna shots to do it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But more importantly, she said that Canada is still very much aiming to approve other vaccines, namely Astrazeneca and Johnson & Johnson, which will only speed up the whole process, and likely have everyone vaccinated ahead of schedule. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Furthermore, it's worth noting that we will likely see at least some restrictions lift far before that goal is reached. The most vulnerable are being vaccinated first, who are the most likely to need medical intervention, which eases the burden on the health care system, and reduces the amount of death. And as more people get the shots, the more and more we help the health care system. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But until all of the above happens, let's all keep being smart about our actions. Lockdowns are haaaaaaard. So hard. But if won't be like this forever. I think we'll be seeing a lot more photos like this one once the warm sun starts shining again 🌞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shot taken at the lovely @nitsanraiter ‘s engagement party planned by @prettyplans.ca . . . . . . . #torontoweddingphotographer #torontoengagementphotographer #lookslikefilm #torontophotographer #timelessweddingphotographer #torontoweddings #hamiltonweddingphotographer #niagaraweddingphotographer #weddingfilmphotographer

  • Staying positive is a bit of a struggle right now, I get it. Between the rising Covid cases, the nightmare going on south of the border, and not having our usual coping mechanisms, it can all feel like a bit much. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep the faith. We knew it would get worse before it gets better, so where we find ourselves at this moment isn’t a surprise. But the vaccines are still here, democracy is still intact, and it won't be like this forever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to know what the proverbial darkness before the dawn looks like, this is it. Keep your eyes on the horizon. . . . . . . #torontoweddingphotographer #torontoengagementphotographer #lookslikefilm #torontophotographer #timelessweddingphotographer #torontoweddings #hamiltonweddingphotographer #niagaraweddingphotographer #weddingfilmphotographer #dawn

  • I'm not big on new year's resolutions, but I did make one this year. I will no longer be part of the culture that glorifies being overworked. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is something that plagues so many people, no matter what business or industry you're in. We associate busy with self-worth, and the result is the never ending quest to take on more than we should. Saying "no" is not an option in a culture that praises exhaustion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If we all could take one thing with us into the post-Covid way of working, I hope it's this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When someone asks, "How are you?" We should actually tell them instead of replying with "Busy, so busy". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We should allow ourselves to take time to truly unwind when we need it, so we can come back stronger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And when someone asks what we did over the weekend, we shouldn't hide that we spent it doing zero work and bingeing Netflix because we damn felt like it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I vow to discern the difference between the satisfying tiredness that results from a hard day's work, and the emotional and spiritual exhaustion that comes from participating in a toxic work culture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who's with me? . . . . . . #torontoweddingphotographer #torontoengagementphotographer #lookslikefilm #torontophotographer #timelessweddingphotographer #torontoweddings #hamiltonweddingphotographer #niagaraweddingphotographer #weddingfilmphotographer #langdonhallwedding #overwork
