When Anne and I moved to Stratford, Ontario about 3 years ago, we knew that we would be geographically close to London – but we had no idea that we would be spending so much time there! We feel extremely fortunate as we have been warmly received by the people of London – and thrilled that most of our wedding clients are from there.

I met Joanna and her sister last winter at the London Bridal Expo … and shortly after the show, Joanna and Ryan hired us as their photographers for their wedding. Needless to say, we were thrilled when we heard the news.

I had the opportunity to spend some more time with them during their engagement session this summer – and in a few short months, their wedding day was upon us (isn’t it amazing how quickly time flies when you are planning a wedding?).

Joanna and Ryan were married at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London (a really beautiful church). Mother Nature was somewhat cooperative with us, and when the rain stopped after the family photos, we briefly headed out to Eldon House for a few (quick) shots with the bridal party.

We then arrived at the London Convention Centre for their reception. For those of you looking to host a large event, this is a great place.  The staff are extremely well organized, very professional and courteous. Not to forget, their catering staff really know how to serve a great meal!

Joanna and Ryan: Anne and I are honoured you chose us as your photographers and hope you had a really wonderful day. We wish you nothing but joy and happiness in your life together. BTW, I hope you had a couple Mai Tai’s for me in Hawaii!
