A warm welcome

Hello and congratulations on your up coming wedding!

Thank you for visiting my website. From all the photos and posts you've already read, I'm sure you can tell my passion and appreciation for weddings. What I love about photographing a wedding is being able to witness the joy and the amalgamation of two lives.

My belief and approach is simple. In a humble sense, I will document your wedding in the manner of a journalist trying to tell a story that will become history. My emphasis is, unobtrusively, fitting myself into your shoes and together we create an everlasting storybook that you can connect with.

If you have questions or just want to chat, feel free to contact me.

Happy Wedding Planning!

- Chris Pun

Graydon Hall Manor Wedding | January 21, 2012 | Yao and Xiang

Posted in Weddings

Since Yao and Xiang are from Ottawa, they are no strangers to winter. It was a very mild day with some snow floating in the clean air. The day started off when I met the love birds at their home in North York. After a festive of games, they held their intimate beautiful wedding comprising of only their closest families and friends at the Graydon Hall Manor. One thing I was really impressed was their bird themed decorations. Later that night, they had a nice quiet dinner at the Casa Imperial to celebrate. Without going on and on, here are a few of my favourite photos from their day.

Violets & Viruses | April 30, 2012 | Toronto Indies Band

Posted in Music

It has been a while since the site has been updated. Over the course of the winter, I had the chance to shoot a few weddings that would be updated shortly, but before that I’d like to introduce my good friends Violets & Viruses.

Small World Music was very gracious to hold an event at the Lula Lounge featuring different local Asian artists. It’s been a while since Vioets & Viruses played their last band show and over the winter, Jun departed the band to focus on his career. New member Billy joined as the drummer and Mok (also my ever helpful assistant) went back to where he started off in his music career, as the guitarist.

Oakville Wedding Photos | November 12, 2011 | Naudja and Adam

What a way to finish the wedding season. With an intimate wedding planned, Naudja and Adam were wedded. It’s been a while since I witnessed a small wedding unfolding before my eyes. The greatest thing about a smaller intimate wedding is the ability to enjoy and only share some of the most precious moment with only the most beloved ones.

Toronto Love Story | October 1, 2011 | Jo + Eric

Posted in Videos

One of our many highlights during Joanne and Eric‘s wedding was the first time a love story video filmed by myself and Kevin was showcased in a big screen on a wedding day. Looking back, it has been three months since we have shot this video. Each time Kevin and I reviewed this video, we learn so much more about them as individuals and as a couple.
