Harbord Room Wedding // Kelsea & Dave

Small Wedding Venues Toronto | The Harbord Room Wedding

I don’t think there is a single “right way” to do a wedding, but a wedding is definitely not a one size fits all type of occasion. What I think is important is to celebrate it in the way that makes the most sense to you. Kelsea and Dave eloped in Hawaii and had a sunset ceremony on the beach, then they celebrated at home with a Harbord Room wedding reception with their closest family and friends.

We met at Osgoode Hall and took some simple portraits and family photos, then we headed over to the Harbord Room (which sadly, is no longer in operation) for a reception with dinner alfresco style in the warm August evening. It was a totally stress-free day. My favourite part of the day though was definitely the few speeches during dinner. Speeches is the part of the wedding day where you see the couple through the loving eyes of their friends and family, where stories are told and you come to learn the things that are loveable about them. And then suddenly, it’s clearer than ever, why you are there as a photographer.

Here are some of my favourites from my time with Kelsea & Dave. Thank you for having me document your celebration with your nearest and dearest!

McLean House Wedding // The Estates of Sunnybrook

Last month I had the opportunity to help photograph this beautiful McLean House wedding at the Estates of Sunnybrook. Elly and her good friend Simin are the lovely ladies behind ES Design, who was the planning team for this wedding. I also photographed Elly’s beautiful wedding at The Lake House in the summer so when she contacted me again to help shoot this wedding and get some working shots of them, I had to say yes. The elegant details that they put together complemented the venue perfectly!

I’ve photographed a few weddings at the Vaughn estate at Sunnybrook before but this was my first time photographing at McLean House. If you like the look of Vaughn estate or are looking for something similar to Graydon Hall but for a smaller wedding, McLean House is perfect for a more intimate event. The house is gorgeous and full of beautiful touches. The backyard where the ceremony can be held is lovely with the house in the background.

Thanks Elly & Simin for having me again! It was so fun working with you and I hope we’ll do it again soon!
