I've been dreaming of photographing a wedding at one of the UofT campuses. And Know college has always been at the top of my list. I've photographed engagement shoots there before, but not a wedding.
This summer, my dream came true. I also got an absolutely stunning couple. Their intimate first look, touching ceremony, and fun celebration afterwards only added to the experience.
They were both nervous in the morning, and that is always so beautiful to watch. When they saw each other and exchanged private vows, I almost saw their stress melt away.
Like in a movie, they ran out from the chapel, jumped into a retro Rolls Royce, and headed to the Harding Waterfront Estate - the reception location.
We met them there, captured their cocktail hour, and enjoyed the rest of the night with this new family.
One of the best parts was, as always, the golden hour. Michelle really impressed me there. She wanted to take some photos on the beach behind the estate, so we headed there. All of a sudden, Michelle takes of her shoes, picks up her train and says - we're going on the rocks!
This was another dream come true. It's sometimes tough to ask the bride and groom to go and stand in an uncomfortable location, especially considering their intricate outfits. But these newlyweds are built differently. They wanted and insisted on this. All I had to do was watch and capture these moments.
I hope I did this wedding justice! Take a look.
