My wedding with Katarzyna and Sean was yet another memorable one. I know I can say that about every wedding, but perhaps I’m just lucky that I have the luck of capturing awesome couples My day started with Sean and his family getting ready. I always love weddings where I get to photograph the bride and groom getting ready. It gives me a chance to ease into the day and of course, meet the family.
Sean’s friends showed up one after the other so it was a very relaxed portion of the day. It gave me a chance to take my time with photos as well as get some of the details of the home. It also helped that it was a beautiful home. I left the boys once they had all their suits on and ties done up. I was then off to visit to the girls for a little bit. They were equally as calm, if not a little bit more rushed just because the ceremony was fast approaching.
Before I knew it, the limo had arrived, to whisk away Katarzyna and her wedding party. I arrived at The Chanterelle just before them, about 30 minutes before the ceremony was to start. It allowed me to capture the wedding party hanging out and all the guests arriving. I also always make sure I take photos of the space itself and all the little details. It’s hard not to come away with good photos at a location like The Chanterelle.
One of my favourite moments of the ceremony was Katarzyna and Seans dog walking down the aisle with one of the groomsmen. So cute. As always, the ceremony went by fast, and after a short amount of downtime to gather their thoughts, we were off in the limo to the Firehall. Since Sean is a fireman, he was hoping to get a photo in front of one of the trucks, but it just didn’t work out. We were still able to get a couple quick photos in front of the red doors.
Waverley Park was the next stop, and where we ended up doing all the wedding party photos. The rain started coming down just as we were finishing up, so the timing was perfect. After touring the area in the limo, we all headed back to the venue for the rest of the evening. As always, The Chanterelle served some amazing food and drinks, and all the speeches were so sincere and heartfelt. It made for a few nice emotional photos!
I know I have a few more weddings this year at The Chanterelle, and I hope they are all just as fun and beautiful as Katarzyna and Sean’s!
