I had a wonderful 2012. It truly is awesome being a Toronto wedding photographer. I don’t just shoot weddings and engagements though. Maybe one day. But until then I really do enjoy shooting baptisms and family sessions. So I’m also a Toronto Baptism photographer and a Toronto family photographer. Weddings are generally full day events and are mentally and physically challenging. Baptisms and family sessions are just a couple of hours so that’s one reason that I love shooting all these events. I enjoy the challenges each bring and the variety. Each photosession is different and no matter what it is you will always have different moments captured.
Wedding photography in Toronto is very competitive and I read somewhere that it is the number 1 business that fails. I can see how easy it can seem to enter this industry and be successful. I will be entering my 3rd year in the business and it has been a learning curve with many challenges sprinkled throughout. And its never really easy. So many things can go wrong along the way. I have learned to always have a plan B and C knowing that being prepared for anything is vital in this industry. Having said that I’ve yet to avoid (knock on wood) and major disasters. Probably the worst thing that happened this year is my backup camera (Canon 5D) dying during a Toronto engagement session. Thankfully it was near the end and I had my trusty Canon 5DII with me anyways.
And of course I have to thank my clients. Wonderful, interesting and fantastic people. It has been a pleasure to work with so many good people that makes my work so much fun.
The images below are some of my favourites from 2012. I have also made a slideshow (with a few more images) that you can view here.
I already have more weddings booked in 2013 than I had in total for 2012 so I’m looking forward to the new year with much anticipation. It really is great being a Toronto Wedding Photographer!
