Anne and I recently ventured back to our previous home of Toronto to The Berkeley Church for Julia and Greg’s wedding. They currently live in Guelph, Ontario and decided to venture into the big city for their nuptuals.

We’ve seen a number of couples who have decided to see each other before their wedding and they decided to do so as well.  After they initially saw each other, we spent some time in the area photographing the two of them and then ultimately heading to St. James Gardens for a little fun with the bridal party.

Their wedding was held in the upper section of the Berkeley Church – amongst their beautiful and tall stained glass windows with lots of bright sunlight flooding through them. Greg is a chef who trained in our fair city of Stratford – and after he and Julia fed their guests very, very well during the reception, we were all treated to an aerialist performance before their first dance.

Julia and Greg: Best wishes to you both for a very happy and joyous life together. Your bridal party and families are lovely and it is great to see you have such great support for your life together.

Anne, Jeff (our newest assistant) and I had the pleasure photographing Katie and Todd’s wedding recently. We met them in March 2008 after a bridal show and got to know them better during our engagement session last fall. They are really sweet and down to earth people and we had a great time with them.  And a few short months later, it was their wedding day!

We started our day in Guelph where Katie got ready with her bridesmaids… then later on, we met up with Todd and the guys.  After a lovely service, we had some time for family/bridal party photographs before heading to their reception (check out the table of candy at the reception hall!) for a fun filled evening.

Katie and Todd:  Thank you so much for sharing your day with us … we truly appreciated your hospitality.  We wish you much happiness, joy, love and peace in your life together.
