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!

Getting married during the pandemic is not easy. For those who did tie the knot can attest to the many challenges of a COVID wedding. Annie and Jeff have their share of hardships; from their original venue complications, to parent fly-in restrictions, to limited guests count. Getting married during COVID had brought them many heartaches and a rollercoaster of emotions they did not anticipate. Yet, these things did not hinder their love for one another and their desire to be married. They are one of the strongest couples we’ve seen who broke through all the struggles and carried on with their wedding plans (with a few amendments)! They tackled each challenge one at a time together with their amazing planner (Kristy) to coordinate a beautiful wedding at the Markham Marriott Hotel event space, which accommodated their needs to host a ceremony. Having great vendors on your team sure helps to bring your vision to life!

It is so encouraging to see both Annie and Jeff’s dedication for love! Their love overcomes all things! We are so honoured to be a part of such a beautiful day - thank you Annie and Jeff!
