Michaela and Jared Engagement, Black Creek Pioneer Village, ON

This entry is a bit overdue… Michaela and Jared are dear friends of ours and we’re absolutely excited to shoot their upcoming June 2014 wedding. We spent a whole day at Black Creek Pioneer village having quite a bit of fun on their engagement session. One is quite surprised to find all kinds of farm animals there, calmly going around their business, sometimes posing as long time mates… It’s all part of the atmosphere there, kind of homey and rustic. Having lots of time to spend, as we strolled around the village looking for good photo opportunities, we were met by a rather large pair of farm geese moving at a purposeful and deliberate pace. Half inquisitive, half annoyed the male signalled us we’re “close enough” so we stopped and we took a small, quick “couple’s” portrait… Later Michaela jokingly said this was the photo she and Jared looked at their best… While this is not altogether bad, we think we have a few other pictures, more representative of Michaela’s and Jared’s sparkling dynamics as a couple.

Perhaps we should let you , the viewer, be the judge… enjoy!

Heba and Phil's Wedding Day, Metropolitan United Church, Toronto, ON

It’s funny how many wedding customs come from the Victorian Era. Something Old – Something New – Something Borrowed – Something Blue…And a Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe is one. The white dress too as prior to the Victorian Era brides wore green, symbolizing fertility, or simply their best Sunday dress or even black. The custom of taking photos to document the event with the newly introduced George Eastman Kodak’s cameras also dates back to those times.

The amount of planning and detail that went into Heba and Phil’s Victorian wedding was staggering and almost impossible to document completely even in our blog entry which turned to be the biggest ever. From Toronto’s Metropolitan United Church, thru Black Creek Pioneer village and Hazelton Manor this is how the day went on.

Enjoy!

Katie and Jake Wedding, Black Creek Pioneer Village, Toronto.

This wedding was a bit special for us. We were back in the same house Martha has started her Big Day to document her sister’s wedding. We cannot be more grateful about how the Cowie family has treated us. Katie and Jake wanted to put their special mark on this day and they definitely got everything (save the humidity :)) right. From their heartfelt ceremony at Thornhill’s Presbyterian Church to their reception at the Grand Pavilion in the Black Creek Pioneer Village everything flew seamlessly together. Jake proved himself equally at ease driving off in a stick shift Bimmer and on stage singing with the UW Waterboys.

This is the story of their day.
