Fall Wedding at the Kortright Centre for Conservation

When stress level peaked and work dominated Deby’s life, Daniil came into the picture. Being the considerate person he is, he often checked in to see how Deby was doing, and his presence showed her that there was more to life than work. Soon, Deby found herself falling deeper and deeper in love. The pair felt so comfortable and happy being by each other’s side. In a few weeks, their hearts were certain that there was no one else they’d rather date!

Funny story: Daniil “proposed” not once, but multiple times (on one occasion with a chicken wing!) to keep the actual proposal as much of a surprise as possible. When the real proposal finally happened, there were no grandiose gestures, no elaborate schemes – only two lovebirds cozying up at home, then a ring, a sincere question, and a resounding “yes”. It felt exceedingly fitting and sweet, as their relationship is way more than just grand gestures, and living the “typical” everyday life side-by-side is Deby and Daniil’s truest expression of love.

We are so honored to be there to document Deby and Daniil’s big day! Pre-ceremony, we witnessed a series of fun door games and a traditional tea ceremony filled with blessings. Then, hearts filled with excitement, the bridal party set off to the Kortright Centre for Conservation. It was a beautiful woodland preserve, which was picture perfect for the boho-themed wedding! After some gorgeous shots in the wilderness and the heart-warming first look, it was already time for the ceremony! Surrounded by love and blessings from family and friends, Deby and Daniil were married! What a joyful day it was! Soon the two lovers made their grand entrance at the reception, but this time as husband and wife. It was a night of gleeful celebrations. Heartfelt blessings were poured out in speeches, glasses were raised, and who could have forgotten the couple’s first dance? Basked in the warmth of autumn colors, this wonderous tale of woodland escape wrapped up beautifully as night fell, marking the start of a lifetime journey of simple but divine happiness. Congratulations, Deby and Daniil!

Alessandra was a dear friend and former colleague of Warden's. When he received the phone call from her; telling him about her recent engagement, he was so happy for her! When she asked to meet the both of us to photograph their engagement and wedding - WE WERE OVERJOYED AND HONOURED!

Alessandra & Gaetano's wedding was surrounded by close family and friends that has an impact on their lives and that they love dearly. With people, there were much emotions going on all throughout the day with laughters and happy tears. From the first look that the bride's aunt reacted to the bride's brother walking her into the chapel at Doctor's House to her late father's brother's words of blessings after the ceremony. The older generation may not be speaking in English, but emotions and expressions is a universal language that we all understand - and this is exactly what we love capturing most during the day!

It was a cold mid-Winter day in the middle of March, but thank goodness the sun came out just in time to keep us warm enough for photos outside the Doctor's House. No matter what season it is, Doctor's House is gorgeous for photos! Our beautiful ladies braved the cold in their stunning dresses - can you tell they were shivering? ;)

As much as we wanted to stay at Doctor's House for more outdoor photos, we were glad to be indoors at the Tannery Mall. It had a variety of old rustic walls, vintage black gates, a podium, and much more!

The party started at Universal Event Space with much dancing, eating, games, and of course open bar! Alessandra and Gaetano's first dance gathered the crowd to surround them on the dance floor, with their fog effect. It really felt like they were dancing on a cloud - so dreamy! Thank you Alessandra and Gaetano for having us capture this special day!
