Jessica & David ~ July 18th 2009
By Larissa Issler on Aug 12, 2009 | In Marriage | Send feedback »
These two had a great group of friends surrounding them for their entire day. From the maid of honour to the best man, everyone pitched in and helped to keep the day running along smoothly. There were a few nerves and some surprises in the morning but in the end everything came together just beautifully.
The ceremony was at the Royal York hotel, downtown Toronto, in the Upper Canada Room and was just lovely. A few tears and a lot of love floated around the room as the two took their vows in front of family & friends in a luxurious setting.
Afterward it was off to wonder the city streets for photos (thanks for being such troopers in your heels ladies!) and then up to Red's Bistro & Wine Bar for an intimate reception. Red's was a delightful backdrop, complete with delicious food, accommodating staff and a stunning atmosphere to tie it all together.
A big congratulations to the newlyweds - we wish you both a long and happy life together! (and we can't wait to meet your baby Oscar the wiener-dog!)
Their room at the Royal York was just stunning:
All the nerves were left behind as Jessica & David said their vows:
An awesome, enthusiastic first kiss!
After a few family photos we set out to take advantage of the cityscape on our way to Reds:
You could tell by Jessica & David's expressions that the reception was filled with close friends and some great memories:
Of course, I had to take advantage of all the beautiful wine bottles for the ring shot- doesn't Jessica's diamond just sparkle?
Jessica & David's first dance:
All the best to the two of you as you start off as husband & wife.

Jaclyn & Donny ~ July 11th 2009

Alright, are you ready for this one? I swear this wedding was as close to destination as you can get within an hour of Toronto, and was it ever stunning! Jaclyn & Donny put together a beautiful day filled with colour, style and a hint of exotic flair!
The ceremony & reception were at Barangas On The Beach, giving us a beautiful backdrop filled with sand, sky and water. Now I have to admit that I was a little worried when I woke up Saturday morning and saw the torrential downpour that was taking place outdoors, but mother nature was on our side and everything cleared up in time for the afternoon ceremony on the beach.
And of course- what else do we do as photographers after a stunning beach ceremony but take pictures along the waterfront!? We took full advantage of our surroundings managed to capture destination-style images for our new husband & wife. To top everything off, the reception was awesome- complete with tropical drinks garnished with fruit & those tiny umbrellas.
It was an absolutely lovely wedding- the two of you did an amazing job with all the details and managed to create a style & feeling that you don't often see in the city. Congrats to you both as you start your new lives together, we had a great time working with you both.
A stunning gown- perfect for a beach wedding!

Look at the way he looks at her....congrats you two!

Geeta & Hitesh ~ July 4th 2009

We had a great time working with these two at what was anything BUT your traditional Indian wedding! The ceremony was gorgeous, colourful and filled with the usual heart-felt traditions and prayers, but these two were as modern as you could get. Geeta & Hitesh were completely laid back throughout their day- when it came to their photography, the word of the day was candid and we were happy to oblige!
Both the ceremony and reception were at the beautiful facilities at Glenn Abby Golf Club. The staff were amazing and our Indian dinner was simply delicious. Trev & I are suckers for Indian food!
Thanks for letting us be a part of your day, it was a pleasure from beginning to end!

It was an awesome day to be apart of - congratulations you two!

Jenn & Chester ~ June 27th, 2009

You might remember Jenn & Chester from their Engagement Session up in St.Jacobs- these two are an adorable couple and we had the pleasure of working with them again for their wedding at Knollwood Golf Course.
The sun was shinning throughout their outdoor ceremony and their Officiant did an amazing job adding a personal touch. There were gorgeous ribbons blowing in the wind at their front canopy and it was a classic, hot summer's day.
The bridesmaids looked great in their flowing navy dresses and Jenn was gorgeous in her light, elegant gown. The rustic country-style theme looked simply stunning; from the beautiful wildflowers to hay bails to the burlap runners everything fit with the outdoor location perfectly!
Here are a few of our favourite images from the day, congratulations and enjoy your honeymoon trip through Asia!
Jenn's dress had a beauitful lace overlay:
It was a hot one, but their outdoor ceremony was gorgeous:
Just married!
This classic, antique pocket watch was Chester's Grandfathers- I love heirlooms:
The hand-made details at this wedding were amazing- Jenn & Chester drank more then their share of apple juice to make these centre pieces. I'd say it was worth it! I also loved their signs, a great personal touch.
There were some hilarious speeches, especially the Best Man & Maid of Honour...these two have some pretty amazing friends & family.
