Serena & Andrey’s Wedding: August 18, 2017
This was one fantastic celebration at an amazing venue, Casa Loma. Ben and I started photographing in the morning, Serena and Andrey getting dressed and preparing for the day at the Adelaide Hotel in downtown Toronto. We then left downtown and headed to ‘the reveal’ which took place in the lush green gardens of Casa Loma. There were some tears, but that’s expected. The ceremony was rousing and exuberant. I like this minister, he had everyone on their feet clapping and yelling before the couple marched the aisle. After the celebration, the traditional tea ceremony capped off the pleasantries of the evening before a delicious dinner, heart felt speeches, and on to some crazy party action. This was a fantastic start to the weekend, and an amazing party. Thank you for having us photograph and celebrate with you guys.
