jess + dan | backyard wedding in Selwyn Township

jessy + barry | a lakehouse cottage wedding

I am so excited to finally be able to share a 2020 wedding (a few more to come too!). As most know and most have experienced, 2020 hasn’t been the best year. With a global pandemic happening, many people are going through the unthinkable and having a wedding is the last thing on some couples minds but like my boy Harry Potter said “Maybe that’s the best reason to have it. Because of everything that’s going on”. Couldn’t agree more Harry.

Cue Jessy and Barry, who were forced to change their plans multiple times. From a large wedding at an Ottawa wedding venue, to a medium sized wedding at her parents Crow Lake cottage to a small, intimate and romantic wedding at the Tichborn area cottage of only 20 people.

The day welcomed them with very unpredictable weather but one of the best things about an intimate guest list is you can change on the fly and go with the flow. When a storm rolled in over the lake, we all decided to just wait it out. No rush for the ceremony as that gave everyone extra time to get ready, feed the babies (Jessy and Barry have two beautiful twin girls as you will see) and take some extra downtime and make sure everything was ready. When it came time for the ceremony, there was a little rainbow and the clouds parted with the dreamiest light. From there, the day continued to be dreamy and I need to mention, these two have the kindest families and friends who treated me like family from the moment I got there. When I got in my car at the end of the day, my face hurt from smiling so much and I had puffy eyes from crying because their day was that perfect and you could feel the love every single second everywhere.

Jessy and Barry, THANK YOU! I am so so happy I got to be the person to document your day. It was one of my favorite days I have ever been a part of and you two are truly meant to be together (and you make beautiful babies taboot! :) )

Love you guys and thanks for checking this wedding out everyone!

lindsey + niall | intimate winter wedding in Durham

Lindsey and Niall unfortunately had a bit of a tough time when it came to planning their wedding. Sadly, someone very dear to them had become sick and for that reason, they pushed their wedding date forward in hopes that that person could be present.

They planned an intimate day which included those dearest to them as well as locations that meant something special. From the church Nialls family attends to photos in front of Nialls childhood home with the Lovers Lane street sign to a gazebo they love finished with a cozy dinner at KB Food in Whitby surrounded by everyone they love.

Such a special wedding in Durham region and so happy that Jennifer See Studios passed our name along to these two.

Thank you so much Lindsey and Niall xo

lina + alex | toronto island wedding at algonquin island association

Lina + Alex got married on October 12, 2018 on Toronto Island at the Algonquin Island Association. Leading up to their wedding day, Lina and Alex were so incredibly laid back, relaxed and so lovely to work with. Corrigan and I met them for a beer one weeknight in our neighbourhood (they live a few blocks over from us in Bloor West Village) to discuss wedding details and we hit it off right away. We knew it would be an amazing day!

After years of being Toronto Wedding Photographers, we still hadn’t shot a wedding on Toronto Island. We are so fortunate that Lina + Alex found us, it was the perfect day, even with some rain.

We started with a first look getting off the ferry at Ward’s Island, wandered the island together for couple photos, celebrated their love with a traditional Russian ceremony, organized a sparkler exit and organized a group photo at sunset with the CN Tower as a back drop.

Thank you so much Lina + Alex, we had so much fun with you both, your family and your friends.

christina + zach | an intimate grand bend family cottage wedding

Now I will start this post off by saying that Christina and Zach's wedding in Grand Bend was absolute wedding goals and will forever be one of my favorites. They did everything for them and for those that mattered to them most. 

So Christina and I go back now I believe a decade and met through her brother Jason and we all played softball together (she was good, I am not haha). After years of playing together and hanging out a lot, I got to meet Zach. I don't think I could of ever imagined up a better person and best friend for Christina, they really are two peas in a pod. 

Christina rocked not one but TWO unique and beautiful dresses. The little white top over the first one was made by Christina herself. It was so fun to do a second look with the next dress, on the beach at sunset. 

The venue was their cottage growing up and then a few years ago when Christina's parents were ready to retire, what better plan then to renovate the cottage and live there forever. Their home was so perfect and as you will see, the backyard space was the BEST! To have your ceremony outside, on the water, surrounded by 50 of your nearest and dearest while boats are driving by and honking... perfection.

The night was filled with some of the best first dances, speeches and even live music (by one of my favs Kevin Foster) that I have ever seen. It was one of those weddings I did not want to leave and I am so excited and happy to share it with you all! 

C + Z, THANK YOU!! xo
