Melinda + Trevor : Newcastle Reception

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

A gorgeous historic venue, tons of amazing food, all of your family and friends gathered… what more could you ask for as an ecstatic couple during a beautiful wedding reception?

Melinda and Trevor had beautiful, intimate moments when they were married in Jamaica late last year and now, they had the opportunity to have their extended families and all of their close friends around them partying it up all night long. This night was about celebrating their commitment and love to one another and it couldn’t have been a more classy and fun celebration.

Melinda and Trevor, you guys simply rock! Your families, your friends, everyone who comes in contact with you just lights up at your excitement for each other. Thanks for all the good times in capturing your wedding and your reception! Oh and Trev, congratulations on passing the bar!

Love & hugs, Jenne.

Happy Thursday!

Catherine + Jeff : Serenity Cottage Wedding

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

No amount of darkening clouds and thunder could have put a damper on Catherine’s wedding day. This was the day she would marry her mate, the mate to her soul. The rain poured down over the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay but inside the gorgeous Serenity Cottage, Catherine and Jeff shared their momentous day with close family and friends, in tears, laughter and plenty of love.

In an area of Ontario with a beautiful landscapes and historical landmarks, Catherine and Jeff also wanted to incorporate some of their own family history as a part of their wedding day. From family orchards to vintage Studebakers, this was a day filled with history. The apple orchard we visited for their photo session used to belong to Jeff’s grandparents. Jeff, as a young boy, helped plant some of the apple trees along the seemingly never-ending rows of newly blooming blossoms. A truly wonderful way to celebrate the continuation of generations to come.

Catherine & Jeff, thank you to you and your families for being so open and welcoming… for allowing me to capture the poignant moments on your special day and sharing with me a small bit of the history in your lives.

Love & hugs, Jenne.

Shanthy + Paul : Toronto Wedding

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

I got a message in my Facebook inbox some many months ago from Shanthy. In it, she explained, she was getting married. Again. To the same guy.

Long and short of it was that she and Paul got married a couple of years back down in Philadelphia in a civil ceremony and never had a wedding celebration with all of their family and friends, especially the ones from her hometown in Toronto. So, she was coming back home. For her second wedding to the love of her life.

From the moment I met Paul, I knew he was perfect for Shanthy. You see, Shanthy and I go waaay back… all the way back to 5th grade in elementary school in Scarborough. Through it all, in elementary and high school, we used to talk about what we looked for in the perfect man (back then it was the perfect boy) and who we thought we would see ourselves with in the future. Needless to say, she found her perfect man in Paul and he was completely right for her.

The entire weekend was rich with colour and celebration, from the beautifully ornate Hindu ceremony on the Saturday to the gorgeous hues of purple on the Sunday, friends and family gathered en masse to witness the love of two wonderful, kind and gentle souls.

Shanthy and Paul: Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to document the clear love and bond you have with each other. I’m so happy that, Shanthy, you found the man you had always hoped for and you get to spend the rest of your life with him. Both of your families were so gracious and kind, and I know when you start your family, it will be the same way.

Love and hugs, Jenne.

On Sunday, we met at the Thompson for some images atop the hotel roof and patio. Quite possibly some of the most stunning views of the Toronto skyline.
