When I met Eileen and Justin, Eileen told me that when she looks at my photos, she can really feel the emotions come through in each photo, just as if she was a part of that moment. I knew then that they would be the right couple for me.
September came and it was a beautiful day for Eileen and Justin’s wedding. We took their wedding portraits at the beautifully historic Spadina House, and the ceremony and reception was at the well-known Canoe restaurant on the 54th floor of the TD tower, with panoramic views of the city and the lake to boot. Canoe was also the place where Eileen and Justin had their first date – so it had come full circle for them.
To me, meaning and feeling is everything, and one of the things I love most about weddings is all those moments that touch my heart. They usually happen sometime during the ceremony or during the speeches at dinner. For this one, it was during the traditional tea ceremony, when Justin said to Eileen’s parents: “I will take care of Eileen from now on”. No ornate promises, no “til death do us part”, just a simple, and sincere sentence.
Here’s the story of Eileen & Justin’s wedding day.
Thank you Jessie of Flair Weddings for putting together such a stylish event!
Legend has it that each of us has an invisible “red string” attached to us, and that at the other end of the string is the person you are destined to marry.
Door games – aka. torment the boys :P
i had no idea about the legend/belief on the red string.. so beautiful! also had no idea that you had the other picture on the boys’ selfie, ties in nicely :) love this, janice!!
Thanks!! Teehee yea I thought it was fun to get the other photo of their selfie.
Thanks Janice for all your work to capture our moments of happiness! I still can remember that you cared so much about our story to better interpret the whole thing by your photo shooting, especially took photo of our rings with that two little figures at the end of the day. I also remembered that how you dedicated to our wedding day, to caught the sunset with our silhouette. These photos made a perfect recording of our big day and I believe we would still remember how it was from the pics even on our 50th anniversary. Again, thank you so much for your excellent work and we are lucky to have you! From Eileen & Justin
