Before we do anything else I want to give a huge thank you to all my couples in 2017... It's really an honour that you place your trust in me to capture one of the most important days in your life. You welcome me into your homes (and hotel suites) with open arms and truly make me feel like one of the family. I hope you love the moments I've captured for generations to come!
It was so tough going through all these wedding photographs and trying to chose my favourites. One thing I really noticed is how different the weddings all were... everything from intimate gatherings at the amazing Langdon Hall, backyard weddings in Barrie and some amazing weddings at venues around downtown Toronto. I also got to shoot at a bunch of different wedding venues I've never worked at before which is always great!
I'm already looking forward to a great 2018!

Guild Inn Estate Wedding
Helen + Nelson
Helen & Nelson had an amazing wedding at the Guild Inn Estate... even with pouring rain and another wedding party crashing our picture location! The Guild Inn Estate is a fantastic new wedding venue opening up in Toronto (The official grand opening isn't even for a couple weeks!)
We started the day at the Delta Hotel in Scarborough with some hair and make up and then the guys came over for some door games followed by a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. We finished up at the Delta Hotel with a first look with Helen in her wedding dress and then we headed off to the Guild Inn Estate for some pictures and the ceremony.
Even though the Guild Inn Estate was still putting the finishing touches on their construction, Helen + Nelson wedding looked (and ran) amazing in good part thanks to their amazing wedding planner Rainbow Chan. I can't say enough good things about the job she did with this wedding.
Along with speeches and fantastic food, the guests were also treated to a fantastic performance by some traditional Chinese dragon dancers! Once all the formal stuff was taken care of it was time for some dancing, photoboothing (that's a word now) and amazing late night station.... the fastest way to my heart is with poutine and sliders. :)
A huge thanks to my good friend Sam Wong of Artanis Collective for doing an amazing job second shooting this wedding. It's always great working with talented second photographers!
