The View From Here

Here are two shots from a wedding Gabi did recently at The Toronto Hunt, with the bride and groom standing at the edge of the bluffs, overlooking Lake Ontario. These were taken by the fabulous Nikki McKean -- and we couldn't decide which one we liked better, so you get to see both!

Thank you, Nikki, for sharing such epic photos with us.

Plaid Explosion

This was taken at the wedding of Doug Elliott to Greg Lawrence last summer. While Doug's name might not be familiar to a lot of you, he is the lawyer that took the same-sex marriage issue before the Supreme Court and fought that battle for over 10 years. In short, he is the person that made same-sex marriage possible in Canada. When he and long-term partner Greg decided to finally wed themselves, they asked all the male guests to dress in "Scottish Attire." I had no idea how many men would turn up in kilts -- with almost none being true Scots! During the reception, I thought it would be fun to get them all lined up at the edge of the cliff overlooking Lake Ontario and photograph this explosion of plaid. Except that by the time we got almost everyone rounded up, the sun was sinking fast and Storey Wilkins had to work quickly to get any kind of shot at all. Sadly, my other idea to have everyone turn around and then lift their kilts never came to fruition...

Thank you to Storey Wilkins who is always game for everything I thow at her...
