Downtown Photo Shoot With Richard Emmanuel

The season has started and we’re glad to be outside working. We’re excited about all our up-coming photo shoots. But for now, here’s a little taster of what’s to come. Congratulations to Ranleigh and Samantha on their engagement, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. If you want to see more work by Richard, or book him for your photo shoot, then get in touch. Enjoy!

Lila’s Cocos Product Shoot

From time to time, Richard gets to shoot delicious things. This time it was hand-crafted chocolates made by Lila’s Cocos, a Toronto based company that makes colourful arrays of chocolaty goodness for parties of all kinds. Luckily, we at the studio were able to sample this fine product, and now we’re encouraging Richard to take on more clients like this!

The shoot was a huge success. Richard skillfully captured all the wonderful colours and details that make these chocolates look amazing. Featured below are some images from the shoot.. We hope you enjoy the pictures (and they don’t make you too hungry).

Mark and Danielle’s pre-wedding photo and video shoot

The fine weather last Sunday put everyone in a good mood. No more so than Mark and Danielle, whose pre-wedding photo and video shoot with Richard yielded fantastic results.

Mark and Danielle chose to shoot a personal music video to the sounds of Cobra Starship. The video is currently being worked on by our editors, and we’ll post it here when it’s ready.

Before the shoot, however, Danielle and Mark decided to have a little fun with portraits (see below). Pre-wedding shoots like this one are a great way to get everyone together to have some fun, to photograph the special people in our lives, and have something we all can share.

Enjoy the photos!

Photo Booth is at Show Time Expo, Toronto

We are showcasing our amazing Photo Booth tonight at the Show Time Expo in Toronto. Come and check us out and have a good time. Browse the flyer for details. See you there!

Jennifer & Alex Photographed by Richard Emmanuel Studios Featured in WEDLUXE Summer/Fall 2011

~ big apple proposal ~

Jennifer and Alex were engaged in New York City in 2009. “We were on vacation and to save money were staying in my aunt’s apartment while she was away. We had secured tickets to see Jersey Boys one night, and on the afternoon of the show, Alex said he had plans for us and that I should pack enough things to spend the night elsewhere. When a taxi pulled up outside the Mandarin Oriental at Columbus Circle, I began to suspect a forthcoming proposal,” recalls Jennifer. After checking into a huge suite on the 43rd floor and an afternoon spent relaxing, the fun continued with a surprise dinner at Jean Georges. After the show, the couple returned to their suite, and it was then that Alex proposed.

Almost exactly one year later on September 18, 2010 the couple was married at Graydon Hall Manor in Toronto, Ontario.

Jennifer wore a Vera Wang gown from Vera Wang Toronto. She paired the gown with a vanilla-coloured satin sash for the ceremony and switched to a black satin sash for the reception. A pair of metallic heels by Furla completed the ensemble. Alex wore a slim cutHugo Boss tuxedo.

~ the details ~
To set the first impression, custom invitations in navy and cream were created by Small Impressions.

The couple worked with Gabrielle de Melo of Casamentos Haute Couture Weddings to plan their elegant affair. “Gabrielle was worth her weight in gold and more! At our wedding she looked just as happy as our parents!” recalls Jennifer.

The ceremony took place outdoors, on the lawns of Graydon Hall Manor. Designing Trendz created a beautiful white aisle leading up to a billowy sheer fabric altar. Tall lucite and mirrored stands containing cylinder vases of phalaenopsis orchids flanked either side.

Guests were entertained by the sounds of a spanish guitar, flute and soprano saxophone while waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Officiant Sarah Bunnett-Gibson announced the couple as husband and wife before ‘All You Need Is Love’ by the Beatles played during the recessional.

The cocktail hour featured a selection of refreshments chosen to represent the couple’s diverse backgrounds, starting with a signature mango-ginger martini. Non-alcoholic sangria was also served as a nod to Alex’s Spanish heritage. A wine bar featured two Spanish wines and two Argentinian wines, both hand-picked by Jennifer, who also wrote tasting notes. A tequila tasting bar featured two well-aged Mexican tequilas both hand-picked by Alex and his family.

~ food fusion ~
Following cocktails, guests were ushered into the dining room of Graydon Hall. The room was bathed in candlelight and showcased one very long guest table, set for eighty lucky guests.

The centre of the table bloomed with hydrangea stems and orchids in glass vases of various heights. White pillar candles on glass stands and crystal votives sat amongst square mirror chargers, stemware edged in silver, and slate napkins topped with a single orchid.

Tucked inside each napkin was a menu that was designed to double as the guest’s name card.

Guests were asked to leave best wishes for the couple on a Wishing Tree. All stationery for the day was created by Small Impressions.

Dinner was catered by Couture Cuisine and was thoughtfully carried out to feature a fusion of Chinese and Latin cultures.

Ferrari Maserati Rally for Sick Kids

This past weekend I had the pleasure of taking part in the Ferarri Maserati Rally for Sick Kids for the second year in a row. Both years I have donated a piece from my fine art collection, Diamondscapes. The event included both a silent and live auction and was an amazing success. My congratulations go out to the entire Ferrari Maserati Family and their generous efforts.  Below are a few snapshots my team and I grabbed of the night
