WOW… what a trip!!!  Where do I begin??  I can’t really call this a wedding after the day, it was more than that, it was truely an experience of the culture.

When we shoot Chizuru and Shachin’s engagement back in May this year, I recall we had more fun than they did (and they had tons of fun!).  We were all hyped up about their Japan wedding knowing this couple will definitely do something special there.  We were shocked with what they had arranged for their wedding day!  There was the traditional Japanese crememony at the shrine, the special entertainment brought on by the groom’s friends (all the way from Toronto!), and the beer shower!!  And on top of all this, we woke up at 4:00AM the next day, went to the beach and did a trash the dress session!!

“Someone is looking down upon us.”  That’s what the mother of the bride said to me after the ceremony.  It was forecasted to rain on Saturday and at the end, we only had a few drops of rain.  Jayme and Robin had set their wedding to take place at Robin’s family estate, which is a farm located in Alliston.  They had wished for their wedding ceremony to take place in front of their house where they sat a pair of musicians on the side of the porch.   Everything went well on the day off, except the weather forecast wasn’t co-operating.  But at the end, we had a beautiful sun almost the entire time till the end of it.  Their wedding was done in a very relaxed manner.  The food served was great.  We took alot of candid shots.  I was impressed with all the work they had put through for the event, with so few people involved.  We had lots of memorable pictures, and I have quite a few bug bites… LOL.

Bessie and Ron

May 31st

When I step into Bessie’s house, she said to me “I don’t have my gown on yet, cuz you need to take some picture of it!”  I love it when the bride say this, that means they care about every little detail at the wedding like I do.  Once I know this, I took particular attention to what she has done for her wedding, and just as I thought, I found a little charm attached to her bouquet.  It was something special her friend made for her.  She was surprised that I saw it before she tells me about it.  That’s how a photographer should be, notice details and record it.  There are so many things in a wedding and we as artists are there to capture them for the bride and groom.  Hopefully ten years later, their memory lane will be as fresh as it was today when they look at our pictures.

Andrea and Mike

May 28th 2008

I was hyped the night before this wedding day… When we first met, Mike told me about his idea of having a school bus instead of a limo… this was what I wanted for my own wedding and got turned down!!  Now he is living my dream!!  So I was definitely hyped to shoot on that day.  But the bus was only part of the reason, the other is that Andrea and Mike are very genuie people.  Even Andrea’s mom is really cool, we talked while Andrea was getting her makeup done I felt like I was talking to my friend.  She called me “FOB”  (even though obviously I am not…. or am I?!?! …. hmmm) and we were joking around.  The wedding was great, we had some great and fun pics with the school bus.
