The daring couple were great in the bitter cold winds, and with the the thought of accidentally trespassing (turns out we were not) I’m glad we were able to get some old barns in these country lovers photos.We cant wait to attend your wedding, if it’s half as much fun as you are we know it will be great!

			Jen and Josh met in China while teaching English at local schools. The pair flew home on the Wednesday night before Easter and were married Thursday afternoon. Despite the 22 hour flight and all the excitement surrounding the wedding Jen and Josh were wide awake and ready to go. The wedding had 20 of the couples closest family members, with Josh’s family traveling in from the United States. The traditional Canadian ceremony was followed by a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony and one of the greatest smelling dinners I have ever been in the same room with. We wish Jen and josh the best of luck in their endeavours and travels.

			Oooooooooow! How I loved getting back into engagement photo season by starting it out on Jon’s family farm!  It was a beautiful April day and I was having a blast playing with the sun light as it slowly lowered for the day.  Plus I was so excited when Jon said he would bring out his bright orange Allis-Chalmers tractor! All you country folks, you know what I’m talking about! I (Dee) had one refinished for my own wedding and they are sharp looking!  I can’t wait for this wedding … while I was talking to Jesse during our initial consultation she was telling me all about the country chic elements that she was going to be including on their wedding day and I’ve got to say I was pretty excited just listening to the details! She is definitely my kinda bride!

			Leah and Mike got married on a beautiful winters day. This couple choose a sweet vintage inspired decor theme, complete with Leah wearing her grandmothers pearls and her engagement ring an heirloom from Mike’s grandmother.

The ceremony was held at Waterstone Estates. The intimate room which was reminiscent of a log cabin, housed the couples closest friends and family who were all kept warm by the crackling fire and candle light which lit every corner.

One of the sweetest moments of the day brought a tear to my eye, Leah decided to do a “first glance” but instead of sharing this moment with her groom before the ceremony, she shared it with her father. And nobody can forget the 3 month old flower girl who was pulled down the aisle in a delicately decorated vintage winter wagon. It was absolutely precious!


We’ve also included a few shots from our wonderful photographer in training, Carly.  She did an amazing job with her shots and we are hoping to have her help out this summer too! Thanks Carly for a job well done!

			Jacqueline and Steve had an amazing Hollywood Glam styled wedding!  Karen from Silverberry Occasions Event Planning and Design Inc. sent us the following description of their day, so I thought I’d let her describe it for you:


Both artistic and super creative people, Jacqueline and Steve had a clear vision in mind for their big day: Old Hollywood Glam with the classic colour palette of red, black and gold. To set the mood for their Hollywood glam theme, the perfect venue had to be chosen and nothing could be more perfect than The Eglinton Grand in Toronto Ontario (Canada)– a movie theatre from the 1930’s that has since been converted into an event venue. The interior of The Eglinton grand is pure art deco, with red and gold details everywhere and eye-catching architecture that won over the couple at first sight.


On the day of, Jacqueline amped up the style with her stunning fit-and-flare dress while Steve looked very dapper in his Fred Astaire-inspired coat tails. The bridesmaids wore black satin dresses in styles that they individually chose, while the groomsmen were dressed in classic black tuxedos.


The bride’s bouquet was an elegant combination of white calla lilies with loops of cream ribbon, hand beaded crystals and wispy white feathers. The groom’s boutonniere was made to match, while the rest of the bridal party was seen with deep, rich, red roses – a classic touch!


When planning the décor, the couple had a vision of elegance and drama that would lend perfectly to the feel of their venue space. Black linens were accented with gold satin runners, red satin napkins and rhinestone studded napkin rings. The base of the centerpieces consisted of tall, gold, art deco inspired stands with strands of crystals hanging down all around it. The tops of the centerpieces were 2 different styles – one was a shimmering crystal covered ball, the other, a burst of white ostrich feathers reminiscent of the 20’s flapper style. To finish off the table setting, vintage film cameras made of chocolate and dusted in gold were placed at each place setting.


Jacqueline and Steve wanted stationary that not only reflected their red and black Hollywood theme, but that also showed some fun and creativity. Their art deco motif was established with their invites and carried through to their programs, seating chart, menus and favour tags. In place of traditional table numbers the couple incorporated names and pictures of old black-and-white movie stars (such as Greta Garbo and Charlton Heston) to direct guests to their tables.


Twinkling lights of the theatre marquee announced to guests the headline feature: “Jacqueline & Steve Star In Diamonds Are Forever”. When it was time for guests to move to the dining room, the theme from the movie of the same name played while curtains were drawn back for a dramatic and very Hollywood-esque reveal. After the bridal party entrance, the red carpet was rolled out on to the dance floor as Jacqueline and Steve took their place for their first dance. Guests then dined on a 4 course dinner followed by a art deco-inspired wedding cake and a late night dessert station.


It was a true Hollywood ending for this wonderful couple!

			Yona & Sadar were first married in Indonisia where they first met.  They then decided to have a wedding reception in Toronto for their family and friends who were unable to attend. They wanted their Toronto wedding to reflect their Indonesian wedding and found the perfect venue, C Lounge. It was a tropical oasis in the city where they combined Sadar’s Indonesian roots with Yona’s Jewish heritage. The event featured an Indonesian band, decor and food plus many of the Jewish traditions including the 8 blessings during the ceremony, breaking of the glass, the beautiful chuppah they were married under and not to forget all of the dancing! One of the most special features was all of the photos that were all over the venue from Yona and Sadar’s Indonesian wedding. It was a special treat for guests to be able to view and experience the wedding they were unable to attend.


It truly was an unforgettable evening for all in attendance. Most of the time you really did forget that you were in the city at all.
