It's such an exciting time of year, with summer weddings just around the corner. This looks like it's going to be an exceptional wedding season!

Cupid and Kin
February 14, 2010
As a studio that specializes in wedding photography and family portraits, this is definitely one of our favourite Canadian weekends. Any weekend that asks people to set time aside to celebrate love and family, must be applauded. This year is truly exciting for us because this is our first Family Day with our newborn son. Who could ask for a better Valentine?
We're gearing up for wedding season, taking appointments and booking dates. It's so rewarding to be able to do what you love and be a part of such memorable family events. To all the families out there, we wish you a wonderful Family Day! And to all those in love, Happy Valentine's Day from Barrie!
Checking in...
January 27, 2010
It's been a busy few weeks here at Darlington Studios - juggling wedding photography meetings, maternity photo sessions, commercial video shoots and parenthood. It's an exciting time, full of promise and opportunity.
We're really looking forward to the coming months. In addition to the awesome wedding season outlook, we're planning to remodel the photography studio in the Spring. Spoiler alert... this could mean a discount family portrait day in the foreseeable future. We'll keep you posted.
Timpano Bridal Show
January 4, 2010
We were so impressed with all the great brides-to-be that weathered the winter storm to attend the bridal show and stop at our booth! White out conditions, black ice and minus 25 degree weather isn't enough to stop a good Canadian bride from attending Barrie's best bridal show!

Rob & Michelle's Engagement Session
Nov 10, 2009
On a cool, sunny autumn day we met Rob & Michelle at her family’s farm, a place full of childhood memories and seemingly endless photographic possibilities. I was so excited to shoot and explore the natural beauty of the farm, with its mix of multi-coloured barns filled with various materials and textures.
As a Barrie photographer, we are blessed with an awe-inspiring landscape that is unparalleled to any other area. My goal with this and every session is to capture each couple’s essence. To accomplish this, I efficiently orchestrate candid moments and avoid spending a lot of time posing.
It was such a pleasure to spend the afternoon with such a fun-loving, easygoing couple like Rob & Michelle. It is completely obvious that they are enamoured with one another. They were an absolute joy to shoot!
Summer weather is finally here, and the season's almost over...

Stephen & Tammy got Married!
Aug 3, 2009
Stephen and Tammy were married at Tangle Creek Golf Club in Barrie on July 24th, 2009. The day was filled with laughter and tears of family and friends, sharing in this eventful union of two wonderful people. The weather was a big question mark, but luckily for us, we got a couple of hours rain free. We toured the grounds on our six seater golf cart, stopping at some truly picturesque spots. Tammy and Stephen were beaming the whole day and were the quintessential happy couple. Overall, it turned out to be a perfect day!

Emiley & Justin's New Edition
May 4, 2009
Newborns are always so cute and such a blessing. I love it when we get the opportunity to meet these tiny little guys and gals. However, Nathaniel isn't so tiny for a two week old, he was over 9 lbs when he was born and is still getting bigger.
I just added a few shots to my portrait gallery, feel free to check them out.
Tim & Jaslyn's Awesome Wedding Day
April 4, 2009
We got an unexpected blast of winter wind and snow for Tim & Jaslyn's spring wedding in Bradford, Ontario. That didn't stop us from getting stunning images and having fun doing it. They were both very brave in the face of a minus eight degree wind chill. Working with these two incredible individuals and capturing a portion of thier obvious love for each other was an unforgettable experience.
