Wedding venues toronto Archives - Toronto Wedding Photographer

I met Peter and Jennifer two years ago when I photographed their friends Maggie & Jack’s wedding. So when they contacted me last year about photographing their wedding, I was absolutely up for it! You might also remember their beautiful sunrise Document Love session at Trinity Bellwoods park and Queen west that I blogged about in the summer.

What can I say about their wedding day? There were definitely many moments that left a deep impression with me. The day started with the usual getting ready, and then Peter and Jenn each read a letter from the other. At which point, I was already tearing up! Then they played door games and the boys were treated to all kinds of crazy tasks which made everyone (myself included) crack up. I laughed so much I was in tears again. Their vow exchange was so touching and heartfelt too, definitely some tears going around then. And then during dinner when the speeches were spoken, Jennifer’s dad’s speech had everyone in stitches again!

It was definitely a day filled with happy tears, laughter and lots of love. I’m an emotional person who tends to wear her heart on her sleeve. This characteristic hasn’t always served me well in real life, but I’m glad that my sensitivity to emotions serves a purpose in my work as a wedding photographer.

Thank you Peter and Jennifer for inviting me to share in one of the most special days of your lives, and for trusting me to document your story! xo

An elegant Toronto Hunt Club Wedding | Country Club with a View

The first time I met Carolyne over coffee, I felt an instant connection to her. She was so easygoing and genuine. And as a hopeless romantic, I couldn’t help but gush over her and Angelo’s engagement.

Here’s how the story goes: they were travelling in Paris. One night they went out for a walk and stopped on a bridge (oops I can’t remember which one now, but let’s just say it was the wonderful Pont Alexandre III). Then the clock stroked midnight and the Eiffel tower lit up, and Angelo got down on one knee and asked Carolyne to marry him! I mean c’mon, how amazing is this?! It reminds me of Midnight in Paris, which also happens to be one of Carolyne’s favourite movies. What can I say? I love all stories that take place in La Ville Lumieré.

They wanted their wedding day to be a day that was filled with people they love and to be present to enjoy every moment. I truly think they did just that, and I feel that I was able to capture those in photographs. I think one of my favourite moments was during their thank-you speeches, Carolyne looked over to Angelo and said “I can’t wait to grow old with you”. With tears starting to well up in my eyes, I pressed my camera shutter. Every time I see that photo, I remember that moment. And therein lies the true magic of photographs right? As a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. I can only hope that the photos I took will remind them of all the ones they remember from the day, and also the ones that they might not remember because they happened so fast.

Thank you guys for having me document your wonderful day, it was a pleasure to be a part of it and to record your story. xo
