Engagement: Melissa & Jacob
She also wore her soon-to-be mother-in-laws wedding gown. I loved the history behind this gown. During our part two, Melissa will be wearing Jacob’s great grandmother’s dress…….can’t wait.
The Phoenix*
The entire room stood in silence as Meera (editor of Fusia Magazine) recounted the struggles she went through to get to this point. Her eyes welled up as she explained to us why she spent so much of her maternity leave creating this magazine instead of spending it all on her new born son. She wanted to create the best world possible for him, a world where everyone is treated equally, a world where women are not raped for sport, a world where fetal infanticide is a myth, and a world where we are not afraid to stand up against injustice.
Fusia is a magazine that unites the world of fashion with compassion and is not afraid to speak its mind (just my kind of magazine).This is a great example of how we can make difference in a non-conventional way. I feel so honored to have been a part of such a wonderful movement.
It was awe-inspiring to see so many people come together as a collective to support a common cause.
To me this cover of Veronica Chail isn’t just a pretty picture of a pretty girl,
it represents the strength of one individual
it represents the voice of women who can’t speak for themselves
We had a wonderful team of individuals come together to create this cover. The proceeds from this issue will support ‘Free the Children ‘and you can grab a copy at your local Chapters.
I hope you enjoy these photographs and look beyond its obvious beauty.
*The phoenix is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology).

A fairy tale…
Once upon a time…
There was girl named Kirstyn and a boy named Marino and they lived in a kingdom far far away…just kidding they both live in Toronto.
I met both Kirst and Marino through my husband, who seems to only know all the good people in the world.
They truly are a beautiful couple inside and out, and know exactly how to have a good time.
It was a freezing cold sunny/cloudy afternoon when we took these photographs.
We shot for about an hour, I was wearing a winter coat, gloves, and a hat but I still couldn’t feel my fingers/toes/gluteus maximus/arms/face by the end of it!
Kirstyn, on the other hand, had her jacket off for most of it (what doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger!)
I hope the images that you are about to view, will whisk you away into a world of romance, warmth, and true love.
To my dear friends Kirstyn and Marino, I’m so happy to have met you both.
Their official wedding photographs were captured by my friend Gregory White of Gregory White Photography
And they lived happily ever after…..
