Kristina + Amin
Another first for me after hundreds of weddings… I got to be a witness at a wedding ceremony!
I joined Kristina + Amin for their intimate elopement at the restaurant Oretta King West in Toronto’s entertainment district for a lovely ceremony and some portraits around the neighbourhood after.
I make it all seem pretty simple and straightforward but there was a huge wrinkle… this was the day of the big Rogers blackout.
With no internet or the ability to call anyone I arrived in the area with no actual address and only a vague notion of where the restaurant was. I asked anyone and everyone I could find if they knew where Oretta King West was but struck out with even the taxi drivers! I finally got a traffic cop to Google it for me and arrived with 10 minutes to spare before the ceremony started!
