{LOVE} AT TORONTO’S THE OLD MILL INN..

sometimes at the time a couple gets married, they might be tight on their budget and missed out on getting the images they wanted to.  so flash forward a few years and they are able to have an anniversary shoot with an amazingly talented photographer like Aron Goss from

CALCULATED STYLE PHOTOGRAPHY

 Aron’s work is always stunning and gorgeous.  see for yourself over on HIS BLOG.  be prepared to let your jaw drop from the amazingness.

{REAL TALK} LOVE AND MARRIAGE…

time for real talk, guys.

i decided to ask my close friend, Joanne, from ENCARNACION PHOTOGRAPHY, to share a few things on

love and marriage.

p.s. i love this couple for being so candid and so genuine with me always.  their friendship means the world to me and i’m so damn lucky to have them in my life.  below are images they took themselves with a tripod for a little anniversary session.  love you, joannathon.  #tcogtfo

“I wish someone told me that there was a manual on marriage before I got married to my dearest husband of now almost 5 years. But none the less there was never one written. My mom warned me that marriage was going to be a little rough. It now makes sense when she asked me, “Are you sure you’re ready?” I remember looking at her and thinking about Airis our 9 year old, we weren’t ready to be parents and oddly enough we survived that together. “

“I never thought that relationships were supposed to be easy. I’ve always seen them to be challenging in ways people can’t imagine. Two very different souls who have differences coming together always seems to cause some type of friction. Lucky for me the man I ended up marrying is easy to love, despite his Gemini ways. Jonathan and I have been married for 5 years in those five years of marriage I have learned to be patient, understanding, and forgiving. These skills and wisdom were a result from a roller coaster of a journey bringing us through ups and downs, dips and turns. We have fought with each other, cried with another, laughed, and shared many first amazing moments as a couple. Our children are some of the biggest teachers we have to thank. Because of them we have grown into two nurturing adults and have also learned to be more childlike in our marriage.”

 

“It would be a lie if I said that our relationship was perfect. It’s far from it, but I believe thats what makes every relationship and marriage special. The imperfections and nuances of love is what makes it all so beautiful. I may not have the answers to love and marriage, but I do know in order to be able to survive through marriage always believe that love still exists.”

real talk, guys…marriage ain’t no walk in the park.  yes, there are those moments that are most definitely going to make you feel like you’re on cloud nine.  but there are going to be moments where it’s going to take a ton of work….from the both of you.
many thanks to the Encarnacions for sharing and giving a look into their marriage.   the Encarnacions also have a blog about their family with a few more glimpses in their lives called THE ADOBO FAM.

{CONFETTI THROW FRIDAYS} NO. 5…

this week has been super fun.  T-Bird aka Tonhya Wysong from Tonhya Kae Photography aka my sister from another mister came to visit.  there were belly laughs a plenty as our week consisted of dance parties in my apartment and in the car and the weirdest hybrid accents spoken to each other.  basically both of us got six packs from giggling like high schoolers.  she also came and did a fashion editorial shoot in my apartment and around my neighborhood and i saw what she got.  Tonhya brings her A-game everywhere.  so go check out her work for sure.

anyways, enough about me and onto confetti throw fridays…
