Old Hollywood Glamour
Last week, I had the pleasure of playing dress up. (Can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon!) A few local photographers got together and had a photog play date. The theme-Old Hollywood Glamour. I was told to think Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo.
I took a little shopping trip to the VV Boutique (Value Village) and had my shopping cart full in 5! I found the craziest old fur (not real…just fake) coat with a matching hat, long brown gloves and the most amazing old wedding dress with a gorgeous collar for $35.00!!! What a bargain!
Anyhoodles, check out some of the pics. Enjoy and leave a comment

Lisa & Mike – a day of love and a night of lion dancers
A couple of weekends ago, we celebrated the wedding of very good friends of mine. Lisa & Mike. Mike and I know each other from working together in the wedding industry. He is one of the most talented cinematographers I have ever had the privilege of working with. His lovely bride Lisa, has the most infectious smile ever. She is fun and loves to laugh (although, most of the time I think she is laughing at me!!)
When they asked me to help coordinate their wedding day, I was more than honored. It’s no big surprise I love to coordinate weddings, but when it’s your close friends, it means that much more.
The ceremony took place at Knox College at University of Toronto, what a gorgeous place to get married. The light shone down on them from the stain glass windows above their heads as they were introduced as man and wife….super romantic…
Now, for the introductions, Lisa and Mike were escorted into the room by Lion Dancers. It was one of the coolest things I have seen at a wedding. They are so entertaining, and they give the couple blessings while they dance. Can’t wait to show you those photos.
Here is a formal of Mike, Lisa myself and my husband Paul. Amish Solanki, also a good friend and photog for the day, will have photos up soon. I’ll be sure to link you to them.
October 17, 2009 - 11:15 pm - love you jaime.
October 17, 2009 - 11:25 pm - very nice pix! looking forward to seeing the rest of them! mike, again, congratulations, very very happy for you!

October 19, 2009 - 5:24 pm - couldn't have been a better wedding. you see...i watched michael and lisa go through the stress of this wedding. i was extremely happy to see jaime make everything come together for this amazing couple, my friends, mike and lisa.
October 20, 2009 - 10:02 pm - Jaime... I don't know what to say except THANK YOU and you are amazing. I sincerely apologize for being so last minute but of course you would be able to do more than expected. The day turned out better than I imagined and I sincerely thank you for all your help, time, ideas and suggestions. One of my fondest memories is you walking me from the limo into Knox and how you naturally were able to calm my nerves with you just being "you".
December 24, 2009 - 4:11 am - I love these. What a great job!
Coming soon….
Super excited….amazing wedding cinematography coming soon…..can’t spill too many beans about it…..keep posted…
Julie & Martin – Same Day Edit Photo Slideshow
Hey everyone, here is the same day photo slideshow that John Edgar prepared and presented for Julie & Martin’s wedding. This was a surprise to Julie, so it was awesome to see her face and all the emotions.
Enjoy, I certainly did!!
August 1, 2009 - 11:53 am - I'm always happy to see Vimeo on your site :D
Rain or Shine!!
Julie & Martin tied the knot last Saturday (pics to come) We planned for an outdoor ceremony months ago. Just adding to the pre-wedding anxiety, wouldn’t you know that the forecast was calling for rain all day and thunderstorms!!!’
We had to ask ourselves if we wanted to get a tent and do it outside or instead resort to having it inside the Art Gallery of Hamilton. We hummed and hawed about it for days. Final decision..let’s take the risk. If it was going to be that rainy, Julie & Martin wouldn’t want their guests outside anyway. I kept reassuring her, “don’t worry, it will be fine, it won’t rain. The Weather Network is never right”
I wake up to thunder. Eeeek! It was so rainy, I got soaked getting my morning Tim Horton’s. Think positive, think positive I kept telling myself. I prayed on the way down to the Gallery, “Dear God, please stop the rain, Julie & Martin really want to get married outside”.
More thunder.
Noon came around, the skies cleared and the sun came out. Julie & Martin did have an outdoor ceremony and cocktail reception. It was awesome. Moral of the story, stay positive. (and have a plan B!)
I’ll post pictures as soon as I get them from the creative John Edgar.
July 21, 2009 - 5:19 pm - jaime, this wedding was perfect in my eyes........without you, we wouldn't of had it this way. thanks to you with all the attention to detail. everyone that i talked to, that attended our wedding kept telling me it was the very beautiful and the greatest! if i ever get married a second time, i'll be happy to hire you again. lol!
Chatting with Kathy – Kathy DeMerchant Photography
I braved the torrential downpour yesterday to meet and chat with Kathy DeMerchant. This mother of 3, (newest addition, adorable little baby Emma) and full time wedding photographer has got it going on! She is calm and welcoming and very easy to talk to. Traits she carries with her while meeting couples and shooting weddings.
Kathy started out working at the Hamilton Spectator. After meeting and marrying her husband Rick (also her second shooter), she took a keen interest in photography. It wasn’t long before she started her own company and booked her first wedding. Kathy is very relaxed when working with couples and has no problem getting goofy to get a laugh or giggle out of them. I get that vibe when looking at images of couples on their wedding day.
What’s important to Kathy? Engagement sessions. I have to totally agree. There’s no better way to see how you click…he he..in front of the camera. Some couples are naturals and don’t need any help at all, and some couples need a little nudge to get comfy in front of the lens. Kathy includes an e-session with all her collections.
Take a look at some of her images, you’ll feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
December 9, 2009 - 11:03 am - Kathy is a great photographer and very fun to work with on both sides of the camera.
What a Great Idea!
I received a call from Maria Vrontos from Little Party Goers introducing herself and her services a couple of days ago. They offer child care and entertainment at weddings and events. Check out her website. What an awesome way to bring your kids to a wedding and have them entertained while you have fun yourself!
Two thumbs up from me!
June 25, 2009 - 1:37 pm - Jaime, thank you for the post.
August 7, 2009 - 11:13 am - Jaime I meant to tell you about Maria the last time we spoke...she's awesome! I've known her for many years and Little Party Goers is great!
