This charming couple brought their love and competitiveness from the field to the wedding! We took Anna and Jesse’s engagement photos last year and their sweet gazes towards each other has grown even more lovingly. The athletic duo, born and raised on either side of Canada, came to know each other through playing on the same softball team. Starting out at teammates, then to friends, then to significant others, Anna and Jesse worked through the challenges of long distance and busy schedules only to show the commitment and desire to be together.

Anna and Jesse chose to have their ceremony in Chinese Gospel Church Scarborough. Bright colours filled the sanctuary with white and pink flowers along the aisle and stage. You could tell love was in the air! As soon as Anna came into Jesse’s view, a tear shed down his cheek but with a smile reaching from ear to ear. What a joyous occasion~

After the ceremony, we took the bridal party to Alexander Muir Memorial Gardens for many more pictures. The beautiful greenery and structures illuminated the beauty of the bride and her bridesmaids and the handsomeness of the groomsmen. With a big bridal party such as this, they all looked stunning as if they came from a gala!

Moving to the reception, we headed to Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel & Suites, welcomed by a large hall decorated in white and pink roses and petals with two head tables, a BIG dance floor, and a shining chandelier. One of my favourites was the cakes, draped in rose petals elegantly spiraling down to the table! The bridal party danced their way in as soon as they were called. Anna and Jesse of course got all the cheers and applause when they walked in. Soon after, they danced to their first dance as husband and wife.

Seeing these two together brought warmth and cheerfulness to our hearts. We are so honored and thankful to capture these moments for you! We wish you all the best as you walk in this new chapter in your life. Congratulations!

Alexander Muir Memorial Gardens Tennis Court Toronto Engagement 15.jpg

Eliza and Alvin’s love story began about 7 years ago where they met through a mutual friend. Although they almost missed each other by not attending this mutual friend’s outing, we are thankfully they both went to the gathering and the rest is history!

Alvin planned a romantic proposal at an Air BnB with fairy lights beautifully decorated around the space. Cards written over the years were also placed to remind Eliza of the sweet memories they have shared in the last 7 years. It will be exactly 363 days after she had said yes to the day they will both say their I-Do’s!

On top of sharing passions for food together, they are also avid tennis players! Watch out these two are competitive! This common hobby had spiked up some creative ideas for their engagement session - what better location then to have their e-shoot at a tennis court! They changed into their tennis outfit and were ready to strike some lovely pose for us! We had the whole court to ourselves and worked in many angles! The best part was when the staff turned on the sprinklers for some added effects for the photos - love love love! The sun peaking just through the trees behind them and the water sprinkling over them made the scene super romantic!

If you’ve been to Alexander Muir Park, you would know there’s many cute spots with nature that can be used as a photo op. The trees make the perfect arch for us to frame Eliza and Alvin. Of course we also hung out at the popular white stone stair case wall as the backdrop.

Warden and I have not done an engagement session on the tennis court before, but we love to explore new locations like these to spike out our creativity! It definitely was so much fun working with Eliza and Alvin! Congratulations Eliza and Alvin, we are super excited to capture your upcoming wedding!!
