    Corinne + Shamell | Kleinburg | Paradise Banquet Hall | Love Photos York Region Wedding Photographer

    When Corrine and I were chatting about potential locations for their wedding shoot a number of locations have come up. Because the wedding took place towards the end of November weather was a very serious consideration. I’m a big fan of fall shoots and have talked about the advantages of a fall wedding but the reality is that I move around quite a bit during a shoot and I’m not wearing an open garment.

    Review of Claireport Place Banquet & Convention Centre

    As a Toronto based wedding photographer I am often asked to share my views on various vendors and venues. As part of my blog I will continue to post photos of events, engagements and weddings but I will also post some reviews on various venues that I attend. I think it’s important to gain a perspective from multiple points of view in order accurately evaluate a venue for an event as important as a wedding. Claireport place owners have been in the business of restaurant operat
