Last year was one of those years lots of people will want to forget – for many reasons I don’t need to remind anyone of.
But for a few, last year will be one of the happiest. They got married to their best friend + lover and partner for life. Here are a few of my favorite images from that crazy 2022 year.
There are a still a few dates for 2023 still available , though not many. Please contact me directly to inquire.
Enjoy!
Big congrats to Jaime and Patrick.
Their small intimate wedding on the gorgeous grounds of the historic Elmhurst Inn was truly something from a fairy tail. The day was perfect with with the weather being as good as it could be for an outdoor ceremony.
Please enjoy some of their images and if you like them, share them.
Cheers, Trevor
2018 has been a different year professionally for me. My weddings slowed down a bit but my commercial work increased, which you can view here (soon). On the personal side of things a lot of growth has come with much more on the horizon. First year in many I didn’t get a chance to head east to my beloved Cape Breton; you were dearly missed!
Got to shoot some fabulous engagements of an amazing couple, Natasha and Nishant, back in my (kinda) hometown of Ottawa on THE hottest day of the year! And I finished off my wedding calendar with a destination to Mexico with two beautiful souls Amanda and Adrian.
Here are some of my favourites from all the highlights I shared with the world this 2018. Hope you enjoy. If your recently engaged or know someone who is – have them contact me for a highly experienced, fun loving energetic photographer – ME!
Cheers to 2019! Trevor
2017!!
It has been a one of the best years for me professionally. I want to again thank and congratulate all my clients this year for trusting in me, my vision and mostly my creativity.
I absolutely love photographing a wedding. All the challenges it brings, both personally and professionally. The best is the artistic freedom that my clients give me! THANK YOU! To all that have enjoyed and grown to love my style over the years – THANK YOU!
I will continue to become better and better, learning as I grow for all my 2018 clients and beyond.
Here’s to the new year and what it might bring to everyone. Cheers and enjoy some of my favourites from this past year of 2017
Trevor

“It was Christmas morning and I was so nervous I couldn’t sleep. I got out of bed around 6 am and had my morning coffee. I knew Melissa was always excited for Christmas morning and would wake up early. So I sat drinking my coffee mustering up the courage to go upstairs. Finally I knew it was time when the sun started to come up. I ran upstairs and woke Melissa by saying that Santa had come. I put her gift in front of her and had her open it. Once she got down to the small ring box I took it from her and got down on one knee to pop the question. She was still wiping the sleep out of her eyes and at first thought I was joking. Once she realized what was happening she said yes!! She jumped out of bed and started freaking out, who to tell first and that she had to get ready. It was our best Christmas thus far.”
Congrats to you both, Melissa + Steve!Thanks for letting me be a part of your day. Here are some of my favourites from your wedding.

A brief story about the proposal…
“We went camping, he insisted we see the sunset that night so we were rushing after dinner. He told me to take a photo of him holding the sun and I told him it wasn’t working. He was like, Babe….so I looked away from the camera and he was on his knee.”
Here are some favourites from Stef and Ian’s outdoor wedding in Amherstburg, ON. The weather was perfect and we were all thankful as there really wasn’t a plan B if it wasn’t.
Congrats to you both, Stef and Ian. It was my pleasure and honour to be a part of your wedding. All the best to you both.

Friday, Sept 15th was a bitter sweet day for me in my professional photographer career. This might be the last time I get to photograph a wedding at the Canadian Club Heritage Brand Centre. The day was perfect, sun shinning, slight cool breeze off the water, two amazing people about to take the next journey of their lives together.
Brittany and Matthew’s wedding went off without a hitch. Here’s a brief story about the proposal…
Brittany – “I was planning a surprise birthday party with our close friends in the GTA….meanwhile he planned an engagement party with the same friends, they all knew expect for me. That day I was out with my girlfriend and she got me to get my nails done, that wasn’t hard. I then wanted to pick up a cake and drop it off at the restaurant I had planned the “birthday” surprise at, the girls there almost spilled the beans on what was actually happening.
We went back to my friends apartment that we were staying at. Us girls got ready and when I came out of the room, Joel asked for Matt’s camera, and Lindsay asked for Matt’s phone and asked how do I turn the video on, I was oblivious to why they wanted these things but whatever. Matt comes around the corner with this big scrapbook and said, this is for our 1 Year anniversary together. Que the melting my heart. At the end of the book there was a hole cut out with a box sat with the perfect ring. He got down on one knee and had memorized a short and sweet speech. I was trying to keep it together. But, I ugly cried. Later he told me that he had spent the last few months at my parents house on Monday nights while I was out playing volleyball to do this. My parents had no idea that it was how he was going to propose, just that it was a one year present of all that we did that year…”
Congrats to you both Brittany + Matthew. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.
Cheers, Trevor

Having an outdoor wedding can be a tad more stressful than most weddings in general. This is due to not being able to control the weather. But yesterday turned out to be perfect in every sense of the word! From the sun shining to a lite cool breeze. Chelsea and Andrew’s ceremony at the very historic Canadian Club Heritage Brand Centre (sadly soon to be closing) was just that – perfect!
So here’s a brief story about your first date…“Andrew had golfed with Chelsea’s father John for years, so he was very nervous to pick Chelsea up for the first date. He took her to dinner at The Leaf, where his grandparent’s used to take him. After dinner they went back to Andrew’s house where his mother Nancy pulled out a picture from 1996 of Chelsea and Andrew sitting next to each other.”
Talk about fate!
Congrats to you both, Chelsea + Andrew. It was an absolute please being a part of your wedding.
Cheers, Trevor (second shooter – Stephanie)

A great start to my 2017 wedding season kicked off with photographing Brittney and James at the historic John R Homestead on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie. The outdoor ceremony was blessed with absolute beautiful weather for mid May with the sun shining and a lite cool breeze.
Both Brittney’s and James’ anticipation and excitement was felt from all guests who gathered to witness the exchanging of vows from two people who are very much in love with each other. Having met the modern way; online, didn’t take away from the love felt for each other. In todays cynical world it was refreshing to see two people who simply adored one another.
I’d like to share some images from Mr. and Mrs Magri’s wedding – enjoy and a big congrats to you both!

I love first looks. Gillian and Andrew decided to do a first look at Fort Malden in the quaint town of Amherstburg, ON. If you haven’t been to Fort Malden I do highly recommend a visit. This place was perfect for a first look. We arrived with plenty of time for me to set Andrew in a great spot for Gillian to walk up, touch his shoulder. It was a great moment that they will never forget. The rain held off for us till after we left for the reception at Sprucewood Shores Winery. With luck on our side the sun poked out 5 minutes before sun down. Couldn’t have asked for a better day.
A little story on Gillian and Andrew’s proposal…Andrew proposed on Christopher’s Cove in Newfoundland. Christopher’s Cove is a small piece of land that Andrew’s family has owned for many years. We were visiting Newfoundland for a family reunion. Andrew took Gillian down to the beach on a sunny day and proposed. We then got to share the news with the 50+ relatives who were waiting back at the cottage.
Congrats to you both, Gillian and Andrew!

Bobby proposed on Aug 30, 2014 while we were on a spontaneous trip to Chicago (now I know why it was spontaneous!). We were walking through Millennium Park and Bobby was bound and determined to find the “Married with Children” fountain. Once we found it, he suddenly exclaimed “wow there are a lot of people over there, lets go over here…” a bit of a tip off LOL. He led me down under a tree right by Lake Michigan and asked me if I could do one thing…take his last name! Then he got down on one knee and presented me with a beautiful ring!

I’ve had the pleasure to photograph these girls every year and every year we do something different.
All 5 girls are unique and gorgeous and each year year I see their personalities emerge more and more. I always look forward to my yearly sessions with this wonderful family.
Contact me for rates whether its for a one time family portrait that needs updating or to start a tradition to be able to look back on how your children grew into amazing people.
Cheers
Trevor
This weeks random shot is of Rochester Golf and Resort. Taken when our world was about warm lazy afternoons and ice cold drinks on the patio after a round of golf with good friends. Let hope these days come soon as this winter has been way too long!
Cheers to warmer days ahead on the coarse.Trevor
