Wedding Photography by Toronto Photographer Jeremy Clay

Yaryna and Yuriy

Firstly, a very happy holidays to all of our jclayphoto.com friends and an amazing New Year, as well. 2011 was, somehow, an
even more successful year then last; we have nothing but gratitude and humble thanks to all of those who continue to make us
one of the most highly recommended wedding photography studios in Toronto. Our most sincere thank yous.

Our last full wedding for 2011 was for Yaryna and Yuriy, whose gorgeous day you can see a few samples from below.
This was the first time Kathryn and I had come across a few new traditions for a wedding (which you will see a few frames of)
- every time I think we can say we’ve seen it all, someone will suprise us all over again!

We were treated to a lovely day, gorgeous venues, and most importantly, a genuinely kind and warm couple, who
were a total pleasure to work with. Cheers to all, I intend to post a few more updates to round out the year, including a
few remaining engagement sessions as well as some big personal news!

A detailed shot of this magnificent dress

A wee bit of hairspray

Yaryna told me this was traditional, but it was both Kathryn and I’s first time encountering a male bride counterpart!

A quick look over

That first look for family and friends

Love the intimacy of this frame

Off to meet Yuriy outside

So much going on here. A favourite photojournalistic shot from the set

Getting ready to head out for some photos

I grabbed this candid in between shots - adorable moment.

Wasn’t sure which one I liked best

Bridal party with a quick glass of bubbly (I may have ended up soaked in booze)

Another lovely candid

Our couple arriving for their ceremony

Storytelling is our fav part of the job

Luckily we had a few moments afterwards to snap a few more frames

A guest candid. Often, clients ask about how we approach images outside of the bridal party; we prefer to
avoid the static, ‘posed’ shots unless by specific request and instead aim to get ‘real life’ shots of
their guests enjoying the day. This is an example of such a shot”

Crunch time here at jclayphoto - our push to have all edits/albums/prints/ wrapped up for Christmas
(no pun intended) means a lot of updates are in the works. If we are editing your photos, expect them sooner
then later…!

I must say, the Yashan’s must be sick of me by now - 2 engagement sessions, an editorial session, and
two weddings with their daughter and now their son? Makes me feel all warm and tingly! Both families made
Kathryn and I feel right at home for the wedding of Laura and Jay, which was an emotional and loving affair.
Add to that Fall makes for gorgeous colours and amazing photos, (Laura & Jay’s
engagement images fell around the same time last year and they were stunning too) so it’s only natural
their wedding shots would follow suit!

…and with the gents…

Gorrrgggeeeeeouss

Maybe a few tears

An amazing moment as two families share congratulations at the union of the families

Jay’s son shedding a tear in the frame makes in one of my top fav photojournalistic shots this year.

You know how we do formals…

Chill, relaxed gents

Stunning ladies

We don’t like to overdo dramatic effects and lighting on images, but sometimes a shot calls for it. The mood/sky
and composition here demanded a bit of drama if you ask me.

I left this file big, because it needs to be printed big. It really does.

The many faces of Jay while I tried to get a civilized cake cutting photo. TY Laura for the cake attack at the end tho!
