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
