Andreea + Tony

Tattoos & Snow – a Couple Session by -30

This couple left town to move to this place (the Kawarthas, Canada), closer to nature. I guess this is the reason why it looks so intimate and powerful: we can basically feel how quiet this place is, and how peaceful these two human beings seem to be. I love his tattoos, I love her long vest over that green dress. Those two are beautiful, and they’re in love. Chances are you’ll be as seduced and speeachless as I was when I saw these pictures! Photography by Andreea and Nino of The Love Studio.

The word of the photographers.

Andreea and Tony are a study in contrasts…when you first set your eyes upon them. She is measured, polished, attentive to detail. She has to be: she spends her days leading a team of nurses. Tony, on the other hand, is inked all over, spends his days constructing forms, creating the foundations of buildings. He loves everything he can get his hands on: the guitar, the piano, the bow and arrow. After living his whole life in Toronto, he decided a change of pace was necessary. He decided he wanted to dive in deeper, not spread himself thin. And so, he moved to the Kwarthas. With her love of nature, Andreea soon joined him. And last week they invited us up to spend some time with them. It must have been one of the coldest days of the year…but at least for half of the shoot we were warm inside. They cooked us a never-ending breakfast, played dress up, and braved -30 and almost frostbite so we can get the shot. Andreea and Tony, thank you for trusting us with your story and welcoming us into your home. We’re sure it won’t be the last time.

Patrycja + Joannis

Stylish Wedding by the Sea in Mexico

I have to say I rarely talk about the wedding dresses of the brides I feature. Not that I don’t like them (come on!!), it’s just that maybe there’s something else to focus on… I’ve learned to appreciate Jenny Packham dresses though, and the one Patrycja had on her wedding is one of the most fantastic I’ve ever seen. Really. And—as if it wouldn’t be enough—Joannis is one super elegant groom too, I just love his attire! Moreover, I am super happy to welcome another great photographer on the blog today, Fer Juaristi! So many reasons for you to check this out, right?

The wedding took place at the hotel Viceroy Riviera Maya.
26 guests. 4 days. Tropical paradise. Laughter, conversation, hugs, food, drinks, dancing, serendipitous events and lack of informalities and pretensions.  It was only natural that our wedding would have this vibe and take place somewhere away from where we lived, preferably surrounded by nature.  We booked the venue without having ever been there, and never looked back.
IT RAINED ON YOUR WEDDING DAY??? YES! Bouts of rain.  And it was great.  When it’s a warm and beautiful tropical paradise you’re in, rain only serves to highlight the beauty in the sky, clouds and foliage.  We didn’t mind at all.  The colours were absolutely gorgeous, and the rain did happen to stop for our ceremony and pictures.

Name one thing you regret…

Nothing, although our speeches could have been better (my guests know what I mean :P).

… And one thing you’re happy about/ proud of.

I couldn’t have been more happier and grateful to see both sets of parents on vacation, enjoying themselves. My family immigrated to Canada without much, and my parents have lived their whole lives working very hard for my sister and I, and so it was so good to see them relax.

A Mother’s Love

No, we are not having a maternity section on the blog, and I have no personal announcement to make. But those pictures really are compelling. And it’s still about love, right? Photographs by my recent photographer crush Stina Kase, out of Estonia.
