George Restaurant Wedding // Dana & Jordy

Intimate Restaurant Wedding | George Restaurant, Toronto

Dana and Jordy had a very intimate and heartfelt George restaurant wedding at the end of May. It was an intimate affair of just twelve guests. George restaurant on Queen street east was the perfect space for the celebration.

As a lover of stories, I always love hearing about how my couples meet as well. And the story of how Dana and Jordy met is definitely one of my favourites. They are both Canadians, one lived in Toronto and one in B.C. They only met when they both happened to have stayed at the same hostel when they travelled to Rio in Brazil. Thus began their love story. As a hopeless romantic, I think sometimes we go to certain places because there is someone we are meant to meet.

Before I let the photos do the talking, here’s a snippet of a beautiful poem Jordy read as part of his vows:

And although I have not always understood

My blames & my breakdowns,

I know that in your arms

The world makes sense

And if I kiss the audacity & the

mystery of your lips

There will be no doubts or misunderstandings

I will still love you more.

2nd Floor Events Wedding // Noor & Zain

Noor and Zain’s wedding at 2nd Floor Events was an intimate and fun event where they were able to talk to and mingle with everyone, and be fully present for the day. After the lunch reception and a bit of dancing, we then went to Spin next door for a few rounds of ping pong, how fun is that! Their wedding was just like them, warm and well-grounded.

Noor and Zain first met in their undergraduate studies at Queen’s university. They quickly became friends and kept in touch after graduation. Seven years later, Zain emailed Noor one day to see how she was doing, and one thing led to another, the rest was history. They are so comfortable and in sync with each other, and Zain always has a great smile when he is around Noor. It’s so sweet.

A quote that I really like from their ceremony: “Love organizes our vast and sometimes unpredictable world. It is that which preserves and ennobles our human experience”.

Here’s the story of Noor & Zain’s wedding day!

P.S. the gorgeous event was planned by Fidan of Designed Dream.

Ping Pong should be played like this. Always.

Royal Canadian Yacht Club Wedding // Cecilia & Chi

Cecilia and Chi’s Royal Canadian Yacht Club wedding took place at the end of May. Normally by this time of the year, the weather would have already warmed up very nicely but on this day, not only did it rain, it felt more like fall rather than spring. However, nothing was going to dampen their wedding celebration. Too cold? No problem, the ceremony was moved indoors and it was still setup beautifully. The rain wouldn’t stop? No problem, we did additional portraits on another day. At the end of the day, it was still a celebration of love, friendship and family. At the end of the day, that’s the most important thing.

Here’s the story of Cecilia & Chi’s wedding day!

De La Salle Heritage House Wedding // Jo & Pete

If I had to use two words to describe Jo & Pete’s wedding day at De La Salle Heritage House, it would be “tremendous joy”. As you will see from these photos, besides love and family, joy was an ever present theme. When I first met Jo & Pete over 1.5 years ago for coffee, I knew that their day was going to be a wildly fun day and boy was I right.

Here’s a little note from Jo & Pete:

“Dear Janice, thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day! Your photographs are absolutely gorgeous and it was a joy to work with you. We are forever grateful to you for capturing the love, laughter and fun of our day so beautifully!”

Thank you guys for welcoming me so warmly, and for opening yourselves up and just being you. Here’s the story of their day.

The Spoke Club Wedding // Amy & Henry

Intimate & Elegant Downtown Toronto Wedding | As Featured on Wedding Opera

In the past couple of years, I’ve met a lot of couples who love travelling as much as I do, if not more. I guess likeminded people attract each other :) The first time I met Amy & Henry, we sat and talked about travelling for a long time before we even discussed their wedding plans. In fact, they are currently on their honey-quarter right now as I write this. On the day of their wedding at the Spoke Club in downtown Toronto, it rained and rained. But all that rain couldn’t have stopped the smiles and the joy they had shared on that special day.

Thank you guys for inviting me to share in this journey with you and to capture it all!

Here’s the story of Amy & Henry’s wedding.

Your best gangsta face guys!

Le Select Bistro Wedding // Lianne & Tristan

I still remember the first time I met Lianne & Tristan – it was at one of my favourite places in the city, Soma Chocolatier. They are the type of people with whom you feel at ease right from the beginning. Lianne is a beauty inside and out, and Tristan has that charm only Aussies have. It was clear to me from the beginning how in love they are. At their intimate wedding at Le Select Bistro, Tristan mentioned how he still can’t believe this pretty girl is his wife, and Lianne talked about how when they met, she understood that this is how it’s supposed to feel to be in love.

I get asked sometimes whether or not I ever get bored of photographing weddings since that’s mostly what I do, and my answer is always no. Because while there are similarities between each wedding, they are always different. Just like as people, we can be similar in some ways, but in the end, we are unique individuals. For me, getting to know my couples and their stories, being a part of this journey, that’s why I love what I do. Then I take the things I see, and the emotions I feel, and translate them into photos.

Here’s how the day unfolded for Lianne & Tristan’s wedding. Thank you both for being so incredibly kind and trusting me to document this special day for you.
