Jason & Robin - Wedding at Atlantis Pavillions, Ontario Place

It was a cold, blustery Fall day when we arrived at the elegant Atlantis Pavillions at Ontario Place in Toronto for Robin & Jason’s wedding. Robin was busy up in the mezzanine room, being attended to by her group of multi-tasking bridesmaids.

It really does take a village to get a girl into her dress :)

Check out these killer shoes ladies – seriously, this girl means business!

Outside the boys were braving the chilly temperatures, but we think these shots were definitely worth it.

After a few finishing touches before the ceremony,

 A few last minute 'shh, its almost time'...

It was time for Robin’s grand entrance with her proud daddy.

Doesn't Robin look just like a porcelain doll in this picture? Beautiful!

Robin and Jason had a relaxed ceremony, and very casual 'I do's' which we loved, because getting married, is really fun!

Next it was time for the reception, we were all welcomed into the grand reception area by Robin and Jason's hilarious friend and excellent MC.

Record skip – check out this treat table! These little sugary delicious marshmallow pops are such a great alternative to cake pops, which can get kind of pricey if you have a lot of guests. These are just a delicious and super fun and easy to make!

And check out this great idea for bonbonniere's  - Robin's love of tea translated into a great keepsake of monogrammed teaspoons!

Ok back to your regularly scheduled program of....the first dance. :) 

Loving Robin's Grandma there in the left hand side, aren't you? :)

After a delicious dinner, and some toasts, it was time for dancing and cheers-ing and all around good times. 

"If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you."

Robin and Jason have the kind of love that has grown over many years of being together, solid and strong, and totally for keeps.

Before the night was over, we ran back up to the rooftop to get this one last shot - so gorgeous!

We wish you both the best of everything that life has to offer, congratulations guys!

Julie & Brandon, Queenston Heights, Niagara On The Lake Wedding

Julie and Brandon were married on a beautiful fall day in Southern Ontario. Mike and I started out in a cloud of hair spray and flurry of bridesmaids at Julies house.

 We then popped on over to Brandons house for a quick couple of shots. The groomsmen figured out their boutonnieres and posed for an important shot in Brandon’s dad’s motorcycle, complete with a purple socked tribute to a much loved man. 

Speaking of a much loved man, I have a soft spot for daddy’s and daughters on the wedding day, and these two shots are two of my favourites of the day.

The church ceremony took place at the beautiful Cathedral of St Catherine of Alexandria, the same place that Julies parents and brother were both married in. 

In this shot, Mike replicated the same photograph that was taken by Julies parents photographer, back in the day.

The group photos were taken at the beautiful Royal BotanicalGardens in Queenston. There were so many amazing spots to take pictures here, we could have spent hours there, it was perfect. Plus, we are always grateful when it’s raining just a little bit, because the greenery is always so much more vibrant and lush looking. It was a little chilly, a little damp, but the weather only enhanced the warmth and love between this lovely couple (and I'm not saying that to be super cheesy, there really was a lot of snuggling going on!).

As Julie and Brandon met at a golf tournament, it was fitting for us to get a couple of shots on the nearby golf course.

Next, we headed off to the beautiful Queenston Heights for an intimate dinner party and reception. During the cocktail hour, the bride and groom surprised their guests with a special war of 1812 presentation, put on by the fine folks at Queenston Heights. The guests were delighted and Mike was able to get some really unique shots, these guys were so cool!

After a delicious dinner and dessert (where I was introduced to Crème Brulee for the first time and have now commenced a true love story with it…delicious!), it was time for the speeches & dancing. This little dude is not only imitating the cute monster on his pj's, but he totally drops down to the ground for some very intense break dancing. 

dress shoes and pj's? so cute!

 Finally, Julie and Brandon danced together to The Luckiest, by Ben Folds  (Mike and I had chosen the same one for our first dance tooJ ). 

We had such a great time hanging out with Brandon and Julie and we know these two are going to have a beautiful life together!
