Captured Pieces http://www.capturedpieces.com/blog by Keith Acedera Wed, 09 May 2012 22:17:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.2 Caramie + Cory Engagement Shoot http://www.capturedpieces.com/blog/?p=729 http://www.capturedpieces.com/blog/?p=729#comments Mon, 07 May 2012 22:10:54 +0000 capturedpieces http://www.capturedpieces.com/blog/?p=729 My engagement season continues…..next up…..vintage delish! Where to begin?! I just love the effort that this couple put into this shoot! We began our shoot with some casual outfits strolling down the old town of Unionville. Then, Caramie and Cory wanted to take themselves back in time into the 50's and had a mission to make it happen. A simple change of outfits and a change in scenery....voila!! We're back in time! I just loved all the props brought to the set, those rockin' vintage outfits, and of course their very selves, who were simply a joy to shoot! I think this cool couple were models in another life, don't you think?!? :)

Knowing how much detail there was to make this shoot happen, I truly can't wait for their wedding!! Surely, "attention to detail" will be the name of the game!

To Caramie and Cory….thanks for hangin' out with me this afternoon! And thanks for taking me back in time with that retro look! I just had a blast shooting you both! Congratulations again on your engagement!!

Nice and sunny! But even better, it was my very first time at High Park, in Etobicoke, Ontario. I've been in Canada for almost 16 years, but still haven't set foot to this beautiful gigantic park! Many people have been raving on how great it is down there, but never had the chance to check it out till now….all thanks to Lorelei and Mooney! Those thoughts are now put to rest. Boy, what an awesome couple they are! Very much like me, Lorelei and Mooney loves to travel. We chatted about their honeymoon plans and they are super excited and can't wait to go all over Europe! Wait a minute, aren't they suppose to get married first? hehehe….talk about skipping their wedding! Oh yeah, they're excited about that too! =)

I am definitely looking forward to their wedding this June. It surely will be unique as they told me will incorporate both their family's background traditions. Congratulations to the both of you!

While getting to know Deborah, she mentioned that she loves to be near bodies of water. So I figured we'd drop a visit to the Bluffer's park in Scarborough, Ontario. Although it wasn't the weather we had in mind, I figured this shoot would give a nice variety in their pics since their wedding would be the exact opposite in terms of weather the sunny Caribbean this July. Unfortunately, I won't be a part of their wedding day, but I'm sure glad to have met them both….just like myself and my wife, Deborah and Nic have been going out for 10 years and have finally decided to tie the knot. I had lots of fun with this sweet loving couple! :)

To Deborah and Nic….I'm excited for the both of you!! Thanks for hangin' out with me at this chilly afternoon at the beach! Once again, congratulations on your engagement and I wish you all the best!

And what better way to start it off with one of my best friends -- Paul.

Paul and I met back in the good ol' high school days….and we remained very good friends ever since. I couldn't be more happy to capture Fritzie and Paul, as they celebrate their engagement over a day trip to Niagara Falls. Even with the weather being so bizarre lately….not to mention, some hail falling down during our shoot….that didn't stop us from having fun!

I can't wait till 12 . 12 . 12….which is when these two love birds decided to tie the knot! I am also truly honoured to be Paul's best man on his special day as he was mine when I got married 3 years ago. My warmest congratulations go out to the both of you!

I was thrilled to see that, but even more thrilled to see a brave bride tough it out in the cold! Kudos to the entire bridal party as well! They made the shoot extra fun! It was a simple classy wedding with a wonderful crowd...filled with down-to-earth, loving family and friends.

Congratulations Melanie & Lee! Thanks for making us part of your special day. :D

This event took place at the Old Mill Inn & Spa, in Etobicoke, Ontario.

Just enough time to recharge my creative juices! And what better way to kick start 2012 than with an intimate maternity shoot….

I was so thrilled and honoured when Thantavanh (a.k.a. "Tee") asked me to photograph her belly! This is her second child and wanted to record this precious moment in her life. She also wanted me to capture her beautiful family, as we went through the day. I had so much fun in this shoot, since I can relate having my very own family. We started the day with some shots at her lovely home. Then had a quick stroll in a nearby park with her family….and finally, some intimate studio shots. A gorgeous little boy and another little one on the way. Can't wait to meet little Alexander! Congratulations to both of you and thanks again for the wonderful opportunity!

Nina and Jeff simply had the word "creativity" written all over their wedding! A wedding date that happens only once a century (11-11-11), an amazing venue surrounded by water, a great color theme,  a crazy intro video to their own reception, a unique flip book giveaway (courtesy of mypartyimpressions.com),  popcorn, cotton candy, a golf kissing game, aerial dancers, awesome music with a great DJ, and amazing cinematographers.....it was a pleasure to work side-by-side again with the super talented Made in Camera team. "WOW" is an understatement!

Thanks for making us part of your special day....we truly had a blast! Congratulations to the both of you and all the best!  :)

This event took place at Atlantis Pavilions, in Toronto, Ontario.

Just right! Just came back from vacation and here I am starting off with the wonderful colors of fall! You just can't beat its beauty! Jennifer and Manuele love music....and what better way to represent their relationship with a symphony of colors! I figured I'd take advantage of it before this quick season goes away. What a fun shoot!

Congrats to you both and looking forward to shooting your wedding next year!  :)

I just love the v-word, especially when I get to bring my daughter along with us to our very first family trip! But the icing on the cake is of course these breathtaking views of history! Anyway, below are some of my highlights of the trip. These photos almost don't do justice on how gorgeous it was being there and seeing it in person! What another great trip! Love to come back and visit someday!

P.S. Happy Anniversary wifey! I love you! :)

I mean look at those colors! Man....gotta love those shoes!! It's quite rare to see a groom and bride wear their chucks, but just shows how much fun these two people are! These guys brought me back to the 90's with an old school theme throughout their wedding....the best of the best old school hip hop / r&b music brought the house down, playing all throughout the evening! A party to remember! Truly had an awesome time doing this one and had loads of FUN!

Congratulations to you both!

This event took place at the Rosewater Room, in downtown Toronto.

Here's the girls attempt to reinvent the infamous Bridesmaids poster....pretty close! LOL! :D
