Lillian and Daniel’s Wedding – Immanuel Baptist Church & Columbus Event Centre Sala Caboto

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Lillian and Daniel live in Edmonton, Alberta, so they accomplished a huge amount of their planning from afar — we even had our meetings online over Google Video Chat!

If you have the honour of knowing Lillian, you just know, if you want to find her, look for the person in the room with the most contagious laugh :)

Great food was a high priority for these two as they are even MORE intense foodies than Kitty and I!  You can follow them on their gastronomic adventures at Beyond Umami. If you want to do a bit of research on which local restaurants are best, or you’re looking for a delicious recipe, or just want to get some culinary inspiration, be sure to check them out!  They even bake their own bread and make their own hand-made noodles!

It’s always encouraging when you meet men who truly love their spouse. The truth about men and their emotions is that men are extremely emotional about the people and the things that they actually care about.  You can easily tell — Daniel deeply cares for Lillian! Both their families are so loving, kind, and supportive. Daniel’s father (quite the handyman!) even hand-crafted Lillian’s engagement ring box!

Plus, you can tell that people really love and respect these two. At larger receptions, it can be difficult to ensure that everyone has quieted down so that speeches can be heard, however, at their wedding, every guest was turned and completely focused and attentive to every word … wow! It’s just a simple affirmation as to how much people love them, want to hear from them, and want to support them.

Congratulations, Lillian and Daniel — may you continue to love each other more and more deeply each day!

P.S. It was pretty cool seeing Jenny’s father at this wedding! It turns out that Jenny’s parents and Lillian’s parents are good friends.  If you’ve got a keen eye, in one of the photos below, you’ll see him getting his dance groove on :)

Thanks for the wonderful and amazing work you and Andrew did at our wedding. It’s not just the actual taking of the photos but how you helped and advised us through the process made it very comfortable for us to plan from the other side of Canada!

Jenny and James’ Wedding – Trinity Presbyterian Church York Mills, Evergreen Brick Works, Renaissance by the Creek

Thursday, January 19, 2012

Jenny and James are such a super sweet couple. Jenny is one of the sweetest brides I have ever had the privilege of meeting! I know that Ming Justin Cheung agrees! She’s one of those genuinely wonderful people who naturally puts others before herself — even on her wedding day, she was making sure that everyone else had what they needed, that they were well-fed, and well-taken care of. I am sure her that her class of little students love her! Once you meet her, you can easily tell why she she makes such a great teacher. You’ll be seeing LOTS of her amazingly contagious smile in this post!

I loved James’ expression when Jenny and her father walked down the aisle at the ceremony — unbeatable cheek-to-cheek smile! You could tell how much anticipation was building for this day and how happy and excited they were for it to be finally happening.

Before their creative relaxed portrait session, Jenny and James had already prepared a quick lunch for everyone including some assorted Chinese bakery buns, ice-cold water, pop, and thirst-quenching Gatorade. We all devoured the drinks because it was nearing a blistering 40°C outside!

Funny story: After capturing a few photos with the whole bridal party outside, we went inside to take a break from the scorching sun. As we stepped inside, one of the workers at Evergreen Brick Works looked up and asked Andrew, “Why are you wet?”, pointing out how drenched in sweat he was! To be fair, we were all drenched and sweating buckets full! This was definitely one of those days that you become thankful for Willis Carrier’s famous invention!

Thanks, Jenny and James, for entrusting me with the honour of capturing your wedding and meeting so many of your amazing friends and supportive families! I love that you chose Ephesians 5:22-33 — what an amazing illustration of what Christ has done and what marriage (and your wedding) is all about!

Sophia and Johnny’s Wedding – Kleinburg Main Street

Friday, January 13, 2012

I love that Sophia and Johnny’s wedding was very much a reflection of their whacky, fun-loving personalities. (Just take a look at their engagement session!)  For example, they really wanted to have fun, chilling out with their wedding party at a local park, on the swings, at the splash pad, and play around at a McDonald’s PlayPlace! At the splash pad, “boys being boys” decided that a little friendly competition was necessary — I’m pretty sure Bobby won!

Johnny gifted Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars to each one of his groomsmen — complete with their own customized names stitched onto the back of the shoe! And of course, for the bride and groom, they got their own respective pair, Mr. & Mrs.

At the ceremony, I was so encouraged to hear such Christ-centered vows. I cried tears of joy along with them too!

If you are a “sweet tooth”, close your eyes, because you would have been a glutton at their dinner reception. They had a cotton candy station, individually wrapped cupcakes, Whirly Pops and Gum Balls centrepieces, and freshly-popped popcorn too! To top it off, their cake was a three-flavour French Macaron tower!  In case you need to satisfy your craving right now, Sophia owns a company which makes baked treats called “Awesome in a Box” — I’m pretty sure your mouth is watering by now!

P.S. Sophia’s parents also own Our Thai Restaurant and Cafe, voted Reader’s Choice Best Thai restaurant in Vaughan for 2010! So the next time you’re in that side of town, drop by for a delicious visit!
