Anne and I had the pleasure this past winter of meeting Catherine and Stephen at the Bridal Expo in London, Ontario. We found out that they planned to get married in Mississauga, very close to where we lived prior to moving to Stratford.  And when they let us know that they wanted us to photograph their wedding … well, we were thrilled to hear the news.

Catherine started her morning getting ready at the Waterside Inn in Port Credit (where they also had their reception). After spending some time with her and the family, we then headed to St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Lorne Park – and stopped en route to visit Stephen at his family’s home.

Mother Nature did manage to cooperate with us for most of the day, so after the service, we went to visit Benares Historic House – a beautiful location where we decided to have a little fun.  Then finally, we went back to the Waterside Inn for their reception.

Catherine and Stephen:  you and your families are wonderful people and thank you again for kindness and the honour of photographing your wedding.  We enjoyed our day with you and we wish you lots and lots of love (and happiness) in your life together.

As I mentioned in my last post, Aliyah and Nazeem’s wedding was a wonderful two day affair. On day number two,  we spent some time with Aliyah at her home in Mississauga before Nazeem and the groomsmen came to pick her (and the bridesmaids) up in one of the biggest limousines I have ever seen.

We all headed down to the Distillery District in Toronto for an afternoon of photographs. There are always many people down there and it was fun to watch everyone trying to catch a glimpse of Aliyah and Nazeem.

Their reception was held at Atlantis in Ontario Place. I wrote about Atlantis last week… what an amazing place. Lots of great food, excellent company, some awesome dancing and a beautiful venue made for an incredible party.

Aliyah and Nazeem: you are both wonderful people and it was an honour to serve you and your families.  Anne and I truly appreciated your kindness and hospitality and we wish you much love, joy and happiness together.

Anne and I were treated an incredibly beautiful and colourful event earlier this month in the Toronto area … we photographed Aliyah and Nazeem’s Nikah which is an Islamic marriage ceremony. I had the pleasure of spending time with the two of them this spring at their engagement session at the Distillery District in Toronto where we had a great time.

We started out at Aliyah’s home in Mississauga and then headed out to Chandni Banquet Hall in Brampton for the Nikah followed by some family photos … and Aliyah, Nazeem and I managed to get away for a few minutes in order to capture their first photos as husband and wife.  Did I mention before that I love the colours?

Tomorrow, I will post the second part of their two day wedding celebration… there were simply too many images to put into a single slideshow!

See you then…

As a lot of people are now booking vendors for their wedding day, we’ve been receiving a lot of inquiries and meeting with many people regarding our services.  A question that often comes up is, “How soon after our wedding  will we receive our proofs, etc?”

The answer:

Within one (1) week of your wedding date, your images will be posted in a password protected online gallery and you can share this with anyone you choose.  Then, within three (3) weeks, you will receive your printed proofs and DVD of edited high resolution files.

The album process is a little more complicated than that, however, after you select the images for your album, you will be shown the initial design within three (3) weeks.  Once you approve the final artwork for your album, the finished product typically takes about 7 to 9 weeks to be delivered to us.

Anne and I spent some time in both Mississauga and Milton, Ontario for Kirsten and Kevin’s wedding. It was a lovely sunny day – equally fitting for a lovely wedding.

They were married at Grace Anglican Church in Milton and held their reception at the Glencairn Golf Club.  The staff at the golf course were kind enough to let us and the bridal party borrow a few golf carts so we could have a little fun (I think a few of the bridesmaids had way too much fun!) and explore a few picturesque areas of the course.

Kirsten and Kevin:  Anne and I wish you nothing but the best in life.  Take care of yourselves and each other!

Last week, Anne and I had the honour of photographing Stephanie and Andrew’s wedding – and what a wedding it was! They were married at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto and had their reception at the elegant Casa Loma. Their wedding was a beautiful and classy affair indeed!

We wish you both a lifetime of joy and happiness.
