Anna Maria, or affectionally known as Amma by friends & family, and Duy got married on a rainy day in September. It rained, oh how it rained. But all the rain in the world could not dampen their joy and excitement for their wedding day. Though as you will see, the sun did come out to play for a bit, and at the best time of the day too.

Amma and Duy met in grade 10 Chemistry. They became friends, and then best friends. Then Duy asked Amma out on a date, she resisted at first. After a year and half of perseverance on Duy’s end, Amma finally conceded. A smile and a laugh from Amma while sitting together at McDonald’s waiting for their friend were all Duy needed to know that he loved her. After 12 years together, they are like an old married couple, which is so sweet to see. I believe while love is a prerequisite for a marriage, it requires so much more for it to be a happy and long lasting one. Qualities such as friendship, companionship, the ability to make each other laugh etc. And I think they have it all.

It was a day of tremendous joy and happy tears, and a coming together of family & friends! Amma & Duy, I loved immersing myself in the energy of your special day. Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of it!

Here’s the story of Amma & Duy’s Ancaster Old Mill wedding.

Prep location: Osler House

Ceremony/Reception location: Panagia Greek Orthodox Church / Ancaster Old Mill

Tanya & Peter had an intimate and relaxed Quatrefoil restaurant wedding at the beginning of June, with their closest friends and family in attendance. All the elements of the day were personalized and meaningful to them, from the garden ceremony that reflects their love of nature, to the choice of Quatrefoil restaurant as the dinner reception venue that reflects their value of eating sustainably and locally, to their choice of attire which perfectly reflects their sense of style and personality. Most importantly, it was a celebration of their love and their dearest relationships.

After 15 years of being together, you can tell that in addition to loving each other, they have a really strong and deep friendship. You can also tell that they are incredible parents to their adorable son, Harley.

Tanya, Peter & Harley, thank you so much for having me join you on your wedding day. It was truly a pleasure, and thank you for putting your trust in me to document your day.

P.S. I have to give a huge thank-you to my friend, Alex of Young Hearts, for helping me with this wedding. I was set to photograph Tanya & Peter’s wedding on my own, but the day before their wedding, I had just came back from Mexico (having shot my first destination wedding assisting another pal, Sara!) and spent 7 hours in the hospital after my early morning flight back. Though I felt much better with the help of antibiotics the doctor prescribed on the day of their wedding, Alex came along to help me. And the day could not have happened if it weren’t for my sweet husband who drove us around. He’s my rock.

Enjoy the photos!
