Wedding | Astrid + Andrew are Married!

I initially met with Astrid and her mom because Andrew was working in Edmonton. Which means the first time I met him was on his wedding day. And he didn’t say much while we waited in the backyard for the first time he and Astrid would see each other that day. But when Astrid stepped out and tapped him on the shoulder, his first words to her were to whisper “you’re so beautiful!” And I could tell that he had a wonderful heart.

Their wedding day was the kind of sneaky-beautiful day that late March can surprise with. We wandered through Trinity-Bellwoods Park taking photographs. And were driven to the best graffiti in the city by Pete and his Electric Bus. And ended up at the wedding celebration at Steam Whistle Brewery (where Astrid and Andrew took a pre-ceremony tour, and were allowed to sound the steam whistle. Twice.) And their cross-Canada clan cheered them on with champagne. It was a lovely day.

Engagement | Matt + Andrea

Matt and Andrea are partners who really do bring out the best in one another. Each is great on their own, but you’ll love them even more when they’re with the other. They are funny, and kind, and interesting. And they’re getting married.


In and around the Centennial Park Conservatory.

Wedding | Marie + Chad are Married!

What’s worse than being sick? How about being sick on your wedding day. When Marie emailed me her shot list the day before their wedding, she added “Chad is really sick. We are working on getting him better. But he is now at a walk in clinic.” Chad is, to say the very least, a trooper. And the cozy-formal wedding day happened without a hitch. The hotel at 1 King West played backdrop to a beautiful day full of family, and friends who are basically family. The ceremony was live-streamed for overseas guests who couldn’t make it. Cookies poured in from all over southern Ontario, enough to fill a buffet table. There were thoughtful speeches, excellent toasts, a midnight buffet, and custom Wawa special requests played by the DJ. And when a special song was played, the really sick groom felt well enough for a moment to leave a family portrait and head straight for the dance floor, explaining “this is my jam.” And they lived happily ever after.
