Sabrina + Zach's wedding at the Jewel Event Centre in Woodbridge was such an amazing day full of really memorable moments.
Zach and his two brothers started the day with my second photographer Nick at what has to be the coolest barber shop I've seen, the Cabin in Mississauga. Strait razor shaves for everyone!
The girls spent the morning at Sabrina's salon and then headed over to her parents house where all her family had gathered the way Italian families always do at the brides house before a wedding to wish her well.
The Roman Catholic ceremony was held at St Dominic's Church in Mississauga.
Sabrina had a great aunt who's a Dominican nun who flew in from Italy for the wedding. She even brought an official papal blessing that she read during the ceremony!
Once the ceremony was over, Sabrina + Zach spent the day riding around in an amazing 1949 Rolls Royce vintage car. We all headed over to Adamson Estates on the waterfront for some relaxed family portraits on the lakefront.
The reception started off with one of those amazing Italian antipasto tables as Sabrina + Zach greeted their guests and then made their grand entrance with dinner and speeches to follow.
I always love seeing the little family traditions that pop up at weddings, In this case, it was a rousing karaoke version of Piano Man sung by.,. well, everyone. :)
Once you shoot over 350 weddings you tend to think you've seen almost everything but at almost every wedding I see something new (one of the reasons I enjoy this job so much!). Sabrina's parents were married 30 years ago and the same wedding band that played at their wedding also played at Sabrina's... Amazing. They even called her parents out onto the dance floor and let them dance to the same song from 30 years ago.
After the cake cutting and the rest of the speeches the dance floor was opened up and Sabrina + Zach spent the rest of the night dancing the night away with 250 of their closest family and friends.
A big thanks to Nick from Artanis Collective for doing a great job second shooting this wedding.
Mackenzie from Kenzerama Productions did a beautiful job with the cinematography and was really a pleasure to work with all day. Trust me, this isn't always the case with video crews. :)
