John and Abby July 1st





























John and Abby had a Canada wedding, with a hockey theme. John is a hockey announcer so it was only fitting. The ceremony started in Thornton, in a lovely old church. We went to the Brides house for photo's and then a huge coach bus whisked everyone to The Ray Twinney Complexs for the reception. There were wedding programs set up like a program to a hockey game handed to all the guests, the wedding party was announced in like the players of a hockey game would be, the bride and groom met and center ice for a ceremonial puck drop, dropped by the moms from each side. It was very well thought out, and I know everyone had a fantastic time.

Jackie and Paul June 20
















Lucky is the bride it rains on, Jackie must be so lucky. We had a very rainy day for their wedding. Jackie was the last of three sisters to get married and I was privileged enough to do all three weddings. The ceremony was in a lovely church in Aurora and then we went to Kings Ranch for the ceremony, in King City. Despite the weather we had a great day.

Heather and Nick Feb. 21 2009






































Heather and Nick's wedding was full of lots of new experiences for me. I very seldom get to downtown Toronto, so the view from their balcony with the CN Tower in the background was spectacular. A custom with their wedding was for the best man to place money in the brides shoe before the ceremony, so he arrived at their apartment with a band, and they played her out into the lime. The ceremony was in the Macedonian Orthodox church, and I had never seen this kind of ceremony before, if was beautiful, and including a crowning ceremony. We left there and went to the Toronto Soccerplex for pictures, as Nick was a huge soccer fan. It lent itself to pictures a little different look than others I had taken, and offered a great back drop for soccer fans! We ended up at the reception hall, just as a blizzard started. Troopers that they were, we did try to do some shots outside, before we decided to take our freezing selves back inside.
