Toronto is not only about traffic congestion and large, block skyscrapers, as Alexandra and Christopher discovered during a dusk-to-night shoot in the city.   Nathan Phillips Square (and City Hall), the “Crystal” entrance to the Royal Ontario Museum,  the cobble-stoned pathway in front of Osgoode Hall, and the old street lamp-lit grounds of the University of Toronto’s St. George campus are just a few of the surprisingly romantic settings the city has to offer.   This is especially the case at night, when colours seem much more vibrant against a grey or dark backdrop.

The two tie the knot this August in the this big city.

It was 10 years ago today that the keys to my very own, 2,000-sq.-ft. studio space were handed over to me. I then began constructing my dream photography studio. Who would have thought that my street, Atlantic Avenue, would become a major artery of Liberty Village, now one of Toronto’s hottest communities.

Ten years is very hard for any business to stay alive, especially these days. It takes a lot of effort, dedication and passion to be successful. A heart-felt THANK YOU goes out to all who have helped me along the way, from my talented photographers and studio assistants to industry professionals and, especially, to the 1,000+ clients over the years. Thank you for trusting in the MAS team. Your referrals are always our biggest compliments.

In 2011, there will be a  reinvention of sorts for the studio. New and exciting products and services are in the works.

Stay tuned….
