I know its been a while since i've posted, but remember <a href="http://photogabe.blogspot.ca/2013/05/island-portraits-sarah-terry.html">Sarah + Terry's Island portraits</a>? Well they got married in May and it was full of endless smiles and laughter. Their beautiful day was all about surrounding themselves with all their family + friends; filled with games, a few surprises and their favourite jazz band playing through the night. And of course to accompany their elegance a majestic willow tree lined backdrop =] hurray!
thanks for lending your superstar talents <a href="http://bonjour-celine.blogspot.ca/">Celine</a>, we make the most awesome-st team! and oh, one more bonus portrait below because i really wanted to squeeze it in =]

This past September, I got the hang out with this lovely tandem on a warm sunny afternoon. They cycled around the island in search for ice cream, cottages and skyline views. One of their favourite things to do is spend a relaxing afternoon together reading their Nooks (E-book) and I think they couldn't have found a more perfect place.

Today Eloise turns one years old! And its true, they grow up so fast. I love her laughing chuckles, the way she grips her avocado and the growling exchanges she has with uncle Gabe. She is the perfect reflection of her dedicated, fun loving parents <a href="http://bonjour-celine.blogspot.ca/">Celine</a> & Jin; and I feel so blessed to have them in my life. Here are a few photos of our adventures in High Park over Easter weekend. Happy Birthday!

This is the story of a Brit getting married to a Canadian right here in Toronto, in a <a href="http://www.standrewbythelake.com/">cute little church on the Islands</a>. Yes, they flew in all the way from their home in Dubai for a beautiful gathering with their closest friends and family. The morning began with the ladies getting their hair dos and make up at <a href="http://www.civello.com/">Civello</a> on Queen just like in the movies, and the men got a clean shave at the spiffy <a href="http://www.truefittandhill.ca/">Truefitt & Hill</a>. How cool is that chair? Both teams then got suited up at <a href="http://www.onekingwest.com/">One King West</a>, and then they laid eyes on each other for the first time at the bottom of the grand staircase. The skies were blue, and a calm breeze whizzed by us in the open water. There was a lot of time to relax and enjoy so Laura and Joe took a ride around the island and flew on swings before their ceremony. The drinking, dancing and celebration continued at the <a href="http://www.steamwhistle.ca/events/photogallery.php">Steam Whistle Brewery</a> later that evening. It was for me, as I would think everyone else at the wedding a relaxing getaway vacation along the city's lakeshore. Congratulations!

Jen loves baking, Saba loves his footy and as you can see they are both quirky and sweet. Their wedding is this coming weekend and I can't wait for them to bust a move on the dance floor.

Introducing TEAM VJ! as they so affectionately call themselves, these two are true superheroes in my life. Jess is our <a href="http://photogabe.blogspot.ca/2011/08/our-little-russell.html" target="_blank">Russell's</a> amazing veterinarian auntie; she's been so loving, caring and patient with us and our crazy little <a href="http://photogabe.blogspot.ca/2011/08/our-little-russell.html" target="_blank">kitten</a>. Vince, what can I say; we go way back since highschool bopping our heads to <a href="http://youtu.be/glEiPXAYE-U?t=55s" target="_blank">Notorius B.I.G.</a>, he is like a brother to me. The truth is, when they first made their appearance as TEAM VJ, i knew they were meant to be it was that obvious. When you see them together, the laughter they share is endless; not to mention the dancing, singing and the occasional rap verse. The only difference hanging out with them on this particular day down by <a href="http://www.waterfrontoronto.ca/explore_projects2/east_bayfront/canadas_sugar_beach">Sugar Beach</a>, was that I brought along my camera to share these photos with you all. Enjoy =]
<br />
<br />
oh and you want some behind the scenes? here's a photo of their blue steel on a day at the batting cages, haha! swag like <a href="http://youtu.be/ViwtNLUqkMY" target="_blank">bey and jay</a>. Wishing you all the best on your happiest day this Saturday! I guess I better start on writing my best man speech, eek! Wish me luck, i'm super nervous!

<br>
I hope you can forgive the blog absence during my winter hibernation, but i'm back and ready to post again! With all this abnormally warm weather we're having here in Toronto, I decided to ad to the sunshine with one of my favourite weddings from last summer. You'll remember Anna and John from their <a href="http://photogabe.blogspot.ca/2011/07/engagement-anna-john.html" target="_blank">lakeshore picnic</a> and the <a href="http://photogabe.blogspot.ca/2011/08/bubblebooth.html" target="_blank">bubblebooth sneak peek</a> of their wedding. Like all great weddings their special day included bow ties, wedding dress bed jumping, coin tossing, blue skies, a former brick factory, a gorgeous wedding party and one "<a href="http://youtu.be/VUjdiDeJ0xg" target="_blank">dynamite</a> " nephew - He was singing his favourite song all day =]
<br>
<br>
Enjoy!

I think most of you will figure out pretty quickly what Sandy and Brian's personalities are like. Their love and laughter are uncontainable, so much so, that single still snapshots would not suffice. We spent a sunny fall afternoon at the brickworks farmer's market and don valley ravine quarry; the kind of afternoon they often spent together back when Brian was living next to the Kitchener Farmer's Market. They are simply my kind of people! and I get the pleasure of photographing their winter wedding this coming weekend! Let's all secretly hope for some light snow and sunshine, I can't wait!<br />
<br />
oh and a happy lunar new year to you all!

Lauren and Jonathan are one of the warmest friends I know. I've had so many amazing weekends at their cottage aka Boogie Woogie, that i'll never forget. Shed-room saunas, brush crew on barge and not to mention the octagonal pound!! True story: we once attended a Superheroes party as "Team Canada", each member as a province with their matching cape / flag. <br />
<br />
Amazing people, but I'm digressing. This is the story of how "Alberta" + "Manitoba" throws a wedding party! Just like in our school days with parties, dinners, <a href="http://flic.kr/p/6t8eKz">concerts</a> and the occasional <a href="http://flic.kr/p/6t8enX">jam session</a>; this wedding had a bit of everything but most importantly, good company. It was a perfect celebration and a great way to reunite our classmates again. <a href="http://www.sunnysidepavilion.com/">Sunnyside Pavillion</a> was an amazing venue, and together with the beautiful warm sunlight the day felt like a vacation in the Bahamas. I also particularly love seeing all captures of the behind-the-scene set up from my trusty second eye, <a href="http://bonjour-celine.blogspot.com/">Celine</a>. And as you can see, the party was all day long non stop. Some brought their dancing shoes, some brought their beautiful voices; and I was lucky enough to lend my eyes and camera.

I want to share with you a beautiful little portrait session I had with Bill + Livian earlier this summer, while they were visiting from Hong Kong. Living their daily lives in one of the most densely populated and busiest cities in the world, they were looking for something a little different, wedding portraits in a relaxing and landscaped setting. Photos that reflected their enjoyment for the outdoors and traveling the world. Luckily you can't tell how many mosquitoes were zipping around us and all that was left was a beautiful sunset, bride and groom. Their actual wedding celebration is happening this weekend in Hong Kong, so please join me and wish them all the best!<br />
<br />
P.S. speaking about traveling the world; I'm heading to New York City with May next week, Brooklyn more specifically, and for a wedding. Any suggestions on things to do and local neighbourhood places to eat?Gabehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00375090993018170557noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497105305428938518.post-91312055256359461992011-09-20T22:07:00.003-04:002011-09-21T11:58:23.731-04:00A Wedding { Natalia + Danny }<img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6177/6167855364_286b9e750e_o.jpg" width="900" alt="NDselect_01"><br />

"Szybko! Szybko!" yes, I learned a little bit of Polish at Natalia + Danny's wedding. I picked it up while everyone was gathering for family photos, hehe. It apparently means hurry, or quickly. So probably <i>not</i>-something I should be personally yelling at family, but maybe i'll impress some polish guests in the future.<br />
<br />
One of my favourite parts of any wedding day is the moment the couple is presented as husband and wife for the first time and they walk down the aisle in celebration. Its a moment filled with pure joy and sincerity. Bubbles in the background, and rice throwing traditions make for great photos and memories. We definitely got lucky and captured some awesome candid moments.<br />
<br />
I knew right from the first meeting Natalia and Danny had a plan and knew exactly what they wanted for their wedding, and I can safely say it came out exactly how they envisioned it. Leave it to Natalia and her superstar graphic skills for the beautiful self handmade invitations, i'm really impressed with the way they turned out. Cute polka dot bridesmaids dresses, and gentleman bow ties are just some of the details that made this wedding both classic and modern at the same time. I'm so glad that big heart cushion from their apartment traveled with us through out the day! Congratulations Natalia + Danny!<br />

I hope you don't mind me sharing a slightly different kind of love story than you're used to seeing on this blog, I'm talking about feline love. This is Russell, the new love that has blessed our lives. We named him after one of the greatest explorers of our time (<a href="http://youtu.be/yp5RBvogZog">see video</a>). Never ever, did I think I could love another dude this much, he is the most handsome little ball of warm fuzzyness you could ever imagine and more. And not to mention a stylish little guy, with great taste in furniture. <br />
<br />
<img alt="Russell" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6181/6094886766_c2f958cf65_o.jpg" width="900" /><br />
We've had him for about two weeks now, and he's a little over ten weeks old.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Russell" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6181/6094884648_61b86fb8f0_o.jpg" width="900" /><br />
He is a full time <a href="http://youtu.be/yp5RBvogZog">explorer</a>, always tracking things around him, the sounds from the outside streets at our window, the shelves he can't reach (yet), and the food he's not allowed to have.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Russell" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6065/6094347085_6f345fab0d_o.jpg" width="900" /><br />
<img alt="Russell" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6181/6094884160_f772611d4b_o.jpg" width="900" /><br />
He loves his food just as much as he plays with it. Every night he will deliberately knock over his bowl and hunt each food pellet one by one, often bringing his "prey" to one of <a href="http://circularterritory.blogspot.com/2011/08/meet-russell.html">May's</a> shoes to enjoy. He's as ridiculously cute as he is mischievous, and he keeps <a href="http://circularterritory.blogspot.com/2011/08/meet-russell.html">May</a> up all night with his running and jumping. He loves his toys, but he loves shoes and cardboard boxes even more. <br />
<br />

And here he is on the first night we brought him to the apartment, comfortable and sweet as ever, taking one of his many daily five minute naps. We're so lucky to have him, welcome home =]Gabehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00375090993018170557noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497105305428938518.post-70642888754217598502011-08-21T23:47:00.004-04:002011-09-02T12:48:17.712-04:00Bubblebooth<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/studiogabe/6074989405/" title="AutoFotoMoto - A+J's wedding by StudioGabe // Gabriel Li, on Flickr"><img alt="AutoFotoMoto - A+J's wedding" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6083/6074989405_da55d53c72_o.jpg" width="900" /></a><br />

I'm super excited for Anna + John's wedding this weekend! You'll recognize them from one of my favourite photos from the day I "<a href="http://photogabe.blogspot.com/2011/06/sneak-peek-anna-john.html">sneak peeked</a>" a few weeks ago.<br />
<br />
For their engagement portrait session it was important to us that we captured a collection of photos that reflected who they were and what they love to do. Anna has been a cherished friend since we were both lifegaurds in highschool, and ever since I can remember her and John dating, I knew that Wednesdays were reserved for their weekly "date night". Between living distances and busy schedules they made sure to spend meaningful time together, something so very important to them. And besides being a full time stunning couple, you can see they love playing scrabble (and boggle), snacking and just hanging out by the the lakeshore with their bikes. We eventually wandered the laneways and got some late night poutine! <br />
<br />
Can't wait for Saturday!<br />
<br />

If you`ve ever spotted me at a wedding in photographic ninja form, you'll know that I have other talented ninjas lurking around the corner snapping with me. <a href="http://bonjour-celine.blogspot.com/">Celine</a>, has been there with me from the very first wedding, and I'm so proud that she's receiving more of her own commissions now; She's an absolute superstar, and deserves it all very much. I feel so privileged and honoured to join her wedding adventures. And taking on a supportive secondary role has totally refreshed my game since I get more freedom to just capture and create. <br />
<br />
Which brings us to Melinda and Chris! Wow, what an adorable couple. They had a simple and elegant wedding right in their favourite parts of Toronto with all the personal and meaningful charm to their celebration. Yes, you bet <a href="http://teammacho.com/">the guys</a> suprised Chris with their Louis XIV-period costumes, which made for a hilarious dress up at the <a href="http://www.thedrakehotel.ca/">Drake</a>. We then met up with the gals at Trinity Bellwoods where Chris saw <a href="http://melindajosie.com/home.html">Melinda</a> for the first time in her wedding gown. Did you know she handmade it herself? Absolutely gorgeous she was, and so was the smile that accompanied all day.<br />
<br />
An ice cream stop, hailing a cab to their ceremony, homemade carrot cardamom jam gifts, <a href="http://fortysixthatgrace.blogspot.com/">nikole's</a> beautiful cakes, and all the decorations they made themselves; I loved every detail. Even the flower jars and tins are straight out of their home. And as you can see in the last photo, the wig was knocked out after dancing with everyone that night. What an amazing party, Congratulations!<br />

Drinking tea is an integral part of Chinese society. During special occasions, celebrations and especially weddings; the kneeling, bowing and offering of tea from the bride and groom shows their gratitude and respect for their family and elders. The tea ceremony is also an introduction to the new family union as well as a social validation and blessing of the marriage. The family members in return bring gifts, jewelery, red pockets and words of wisdom for the newly married.<br />
<br />
The tea ceremony is what I look forward to most at Chinese weddings. I love the intimacy and the meaning of presenting tea to your elders. While what would appear as a formality, it is often where different generations interact most on a wedding day. The exchange is filled with happiness, colour, love and laughter. Dressed in their favourite <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheongsam">cheongsams</a>, I can see how excited all the aunties are with their gold bracelets and jade stones, passed on from generation to generation. I feel lucky to have the opportunity to capture these moments for not just the bride and groom, but the extended family because I know how important it is to them.<br />

I briefly introduced you to this amazing couple once before. Yes, they do love making <a href="http://photogabe.blogspot.com/2011/03/little-blog.html">silly faces</a> at each other, but they are easily one of the sweetest and most sincere couples I've ever had the pleasure to photograph. They very much are "people people"; and knowing how much we loved to eat, they insisted I bring along <a href="http://circularterritory.blogspot.com/">May</a> for the engagement session so we could all hang out and get to know each other.<br />
<br />
The chemistry in our collaboration of ideas began from day one, the vibrant beaches neighbourhood made for a perfect setting to capture their genuine affection to each other. We danced through the streets and into Kew Gardens; and of course as luck would have it, right on cue, there was a gentleman playing on his guitar "time after time" as we reached the boardwalk. How could you not fall in love with this couple?<br />
<br />
Oh and it get better! Just wait till you see the photos from their colourful Hindu wedding ceremony! I'm very excited to show them to you all.Gabehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00375090993018170557noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497105305428938518.post-3221828192394370892011-03-29T21:12:00.004-04:002011-03-29T21:55:36.378-04:00An Engagement { Sacha + Tony }<img alt="ST02" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5013/5572643864_f63b3acc2d_o.jpg" width="900" /><br />

There was no way we could have expected better weather for a winter engagement shoot, especially with the wacky season we've had so far. No wind, slight overcast and a gentle sparkle of snowflakes fell through the entire afternoon. Sacha + Tony are absolute perfection too, they love spending their free time skating and celebrate occasions with bubbly. And not to mention, they share the same good food loving vibes that I have so you can bet i'm excited to photograph their wedding this September. Cheers to good food and friendship!

I've known Hudson and Kate through architecture school for quite some years now, so naturally you can imagine, we were drawing up floor plans of the venue and sketching their wedding cake the first night we talk about their ideas over bubble tea. They talked about the textures and colours of the <a href="http://www.thompsonlandry.com/" target="_blank">Thompson Landry Gallery</a> space and why it was made for a great setting for their ceremony and reception. It was also perfect to have May photographing with me, as Hudson was her classmate and a lot of fellow schoolmates were also at the party.<br />
<br />
The day started at the <a href="http://www.windsorarmshotel.com/" target="_blank">Windsor Arms Hotel</a>. While the girls were getting their make up and hair done, the guys were busy battling on Super Smash Bros (a video game). After all, they only needed 15 minutes to get ready and they've played this game together every moment they could since highschool. After, we all met up for the reveal in the hotel lobby and then we zipped off to the distillery.<br />
<br />
Winter wedding are so charming to photograph; the sparkling lights of the distillery and cozy hugs add to the intimacy of the evening. Even though you wouldn't notice in the photos; the bridal party, particularly Kate and the ladies were such troopers braving the cold and intense winds. It was the kind of wind that made you tear, and even I had a hard time keeping it together and I had a jacket!<br />
<br />
Its a great change to have a reception without a formal dinner service; it feels a little more casual and easier to walk around, mingling and joining different conversations especially with a tight and intimate crowd. You could tell Hudson and Kate were able to share genuine moments with their family and friends. Oh and have I mentioned about their “cheesy” wedding cake? yes, their cake was no cake at all; but instead, beautifully aged cheese wheels, how awesome is that? They both love their cheese and found a <a href="http://www.atasteofquebec.com/" target="_blank">local cheese shop</a> to make it for them. The rest of the night featured celebration cigars, late night Jamaican beef patties and hats on the dance floor!<br />
<br />

Ch-ch-check it out yo, i've got my own little photography blog now. I have some big plans brewing for my design + photography work this coming year; but currently i'm slaving away and finishing my thesis for my masters in architecture. I'm so close I tell ya! Until then, this is the new home for my current photostream of happy people in love. Since this is a new blog (and long overdue by the way), expect me to post some weddings from last year as well as some thematic collections. I'll try to keep my words short since my writing isn't the most elegant, but photos will be a plenty. Hope you like them! Come back often, drop me a note, and thanks for visiting!<br />
