Shan & Doug | Palais Royale Wedding

            Five years ago, an intense game of ultimate frisbee broke out at Riverdale Park. There the two competitive souls Shan and Doug met each other for the first time. Soon the fervent competitiveness in them, coupled with a cute awkwardness they both share, transformed into something way sweeter than they have ever imagined. Over years of standing by each other’s side as a quirky and supportive couple, they have both grown certain that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Then, in the fall of 2021, Doug proposed to Shan in the forest. Overwhelmed by emotions and happiness, Shan shakily said yes!

            Fast forward to the big day: After the emotional first look and snapping some nice pictures by the bike path and graffiti bridge (where Shan and Doug went biking on their first date!), our stunning bride changed into her beautiful Qi Pao for the Chinese tea ceremony, where the couple received many blessings from their family. Then, Shan changed to a graceful white wedding dress and got ready for the wedding ceremony at Palais Royale. Magic filled the air when we saw her walking down the aisle, with the groom looking at her with tender love in his eyes. Witnessed by loving friends and family, personal vows were exchanged and the knot was tied! Around sunset, the blissful couple made their entrance to a reception hall filled with loved ones to celebrate with them. Everyone had so much fun and the night was simply delightful. When it was time for the party to end, the couple’s family and bridal party lit the night with sparklers for Shan and Doug to make the dreamiest exit possible. We were at a loss for words at the thought and creativity put into this. Certainly this will be a special night for the couple and all their guests to forever remember by.

            Thank you so much Shan and Doug for having us at your wedding! We had so much fun documenting the details of your union and manning the photo booth! We wish you a lifetime of happiness from the bottom of our hearts.

Fiona & William | Cheery Waterfront & Sugar Beach Engagement

Walking down hand-in-hand by the waterfront, these two lovebirds were absolutely adorable to work with. Fiona and William started off their love story in high school but not as sweethearts. The two had such a natural connection that led them to talk for hours about anything and everything. They started off as friends that would do practically everything together be it shopping, eating out, or grabbing bubble tea to a couple that supported each other through patience, love, and laughter.

Originally, we wanted to take photos with the cherry blossoms but mother nature took us to the waves and sand of the waterfront in Toronto. With the pink umbrellas of Sugar Beach and the docks at Polson Pier, Fiona and William took charge of the shoot with their own charm, creating a space for themselves that embraced the moment. Not to mention the shoes! Fiona rocked a pair of Converse that had calligraphy written with their wedding date and “Mrs. Zhou” on the side. Thank you for letting us have just as much fun with your photoshoot as you did being in each other’s arms! We’re excited to see how fun and lovable your wedding will be!
