This post is a special “shout out” to all of my fabulous 2011 clients that hired me and trusted me to capture the most special day in their lives – their Wedding! You are all like dear friends to me now and I feel so honoured to have been given this very important responsibility of capturing these special moments in time for you and for generations to come. I can’t wait to to see how amazing my 2012 couples’ weddings will be! xoxo Corina

Toria & Ryan & The Girls – Family Portrait – {Toronto Portrait Photographer}

Corina Van Sluytman — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:51:32 +0000

I first met Toria, Ryan and their two adorable daughters when I photographed their outdoor sunset wedding this Summer – which you can check out here.

Such is the case with many of my past wedding clients, as their Family grows I am contacted to do Maternity shoots, Newborn, Family, etc. it’s such an honour to become their “Family Photographer” after their weddings!

When it came time to think about a Family Portrait this fall they contacted me and I was thrilled to hang out with this lovely Family once again – thanks for all of the fun and I look forward to working with all of you again in the future! xoxo Corina

How cute are these Little Ladies?

Check out those lashes…

Look out NHL – these 3 athletic hockey-playing boys are going to be Super Stars when they get older! We all had such a great time taking some Family photos with these brothers, they kept me on my toes and are definitely “boy’s boys” with a big soft spot in their hearts for their Mom! It was so great to work with all of you again and I look forward to our future sessions together! xoxo Corina

Aren’t their argyle sweater super cute?

…the youngest kid in most families are usually the biggest hams in front of the camera….love this one!

Paper & Poste’s “Anniver-Soiree” – {Toronto Event Photographer}

Corina Van Sluytman — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 19:11:27 +0000

When I was asked to photograph Paper & Poste‘s 1 Year “Anniver-Soiree” Event I was super excited, especially given my background in graphic design and wedding stationery – I love me some pretty paper! The party was a blast, the very talented Crystal Adair-Benning of Distinct Occasions planned the ultimate party, she paired wedding stationery suites with delicious signature drinks and yummy treats. The gorgeous flowers were by Lisa DeRose from De Rose Designs and Floral Boutique and the mouth-watering catering was all by Marigolds & Onions (definitely check them out if you need a cater for your wedding). Congrats on your first year – looking forward to many more ladies! xoxo Corina

Don’t you just love the idea of using the stationery sets to inspire the pairings with yummy treats?

The Paper & Poste Ladies with the uber-talented Crystal Adair-Benning…

Pretty pink invitation was the inspiration for the dee-lish pink drink…

Congratulations on your successful first year Ladies, and cheers to many more years of gorgeous wedding stationery design!

Baby Ben – Newborn Portraits – {Toronto Portrait Photographer}

The Real Swan Lake – {Toronto & Oakville Photographer}

Corina Van Sluytman — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:11:28 +0000

It was 8:00 am on a chilly November morning, I was scouting out Bronte Harbour in Oakville awaiting the arrival of my clients for their Family Portrait Shoot – when I witnessed something so beautiful and profound. I still remember the serene calm of that morning, the sun sparkling on the water and the waves lapping the sandy shore – when I saw them…

It was a Family of gorgeous white swans, there were about 4 of them gliding across the water so effortlessly like ballerinas, grooming themselves, eating bits of water plants….they were so graceful it took my breath away.

I was so thrilled that I actually had my camera with me, because I always see something photo-worthy and don’t happen to have my heavy 5 pound camera with me….

For such a magical and special moment, I am truly thankful and grateful for witnessing and capturing… xoxo Corina

Toria & Ryan’s Wedding – {Toronto & Oakville Wedding Photographer}

Corina Van Sluytman — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:33:34 +0000

I had the honour of photographing Toria and Ryan’s Wedding this Summer and yes – I finally have a bit of time to get it up on the Blog (better late than never right?)…

These two were married at Otello’s Banquet Hall in Oakville with a beautiful sunset outdoor ceremony and had their two young daughters by their side as well as all of their friends and family. I love the way Toria and Ryan are such loving parents and have such a wonderful love for each other as well, you can see this in all of their photos. Thanks again for asking me to capture these special moments for both of you! xoxo Corina

Some Pre-Wedding hugs for Daddy…

These two little girls were so adorable…

I love how one of Toria’s Bridesmaid’s is getting all emotional here…

You guys are just too cute!

Toria’s gorgeous make up was done by the very talented Julie Grier…

Don’t you love that neckline on Toria’s dress? So bling-tastic yet still elegant and delicate looking…

Check out the very sweet cake topper…I’m not usually a big fan of them but I love this one!

Toria and her Dad are so sweet…

Ryan getting a first dance in with one of his daughters before dinner…

Love this last photo, it seems like they are having a quiet moment to themselves (surrounded by family & friends)….

Andrea & Matt’s Engagement Shoot – {Toronto Wedding Photographer}

Corina Van Sluytman — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:35:10 +0000

They met back in High School, a couple of teenagers who were lovestruck with each other….and have stayed together ever since.

So romantic right?

Andrea and Matt have such an adorable chemistry, why wouldn’t they? They totally grew up together, Matt is so incredibly sweet how he puts his caring arms around Andrea – and she gazes lovingly at him. You two are so cute, I can’t wait to photograph your wedding next year!

Check out the super sweet email I just received from them after they viewed their edits in their password-protected On-Line Gallery (shows you why I LOVE my awesome clients)!

xoxo Corina

Told you they were cute….

I love this one with just the two of them in the woods, it’s like no one else in the world matters at that moment – just them, love and nature…

And these two are my absolute faves from the shoot, there is something incredibly Old-Hollywood movie romantic about them – I love how Matt scooped Andrea into his arms (sigh!)…and gave her a big smooch! xoxo
