I wanted to share the photos with you. As you will see in the photos, we had cumbia dancers at the cocktail reception and then later on in the evening the hotel surprised us by having “monks” toast us (Hotel Santa Clara used to be a Convent). At midnight we had a “hora loca” with dancers from the Barranquilla Carnival come dance with us – (the Barranqui...

Turkish traditional wedding in New York. Nilofar and Farhad had a beautiful wedding in the beautiful reception venue “Tavern on the Green” in Central Park, Manhattan NY. Nilofar got ready at the home that she grew up in. The biggest challenge was the rain. I was probably more disappointed than Nilofar and Farhad because I couldn’t take many pictures outside. ...

Orthodox Jewish weddings are amazing affairs if for nothing else the shear emotion and energy brought to the day by the family and guests. Sara and Meir began their day with fasting and prayer. They have not seen each other for the preceding week. Unlike many secular couples they have only known each other for a few intense months and have never touched. Their wedding day was tre...

Fortunately with a little help from some friends, they did eventually get together for a ...

Jeff and Lindsay’s wedding was held last Sunday at the Chateau Cargill. It’s a sweet little venue just down the road from me in South Surrey. With so many great photo locations around, we were able to skip out for a little bit to do some photos at Crescent Beach and be back in time for them to mingle with their guests before a hopping reception. I also asked Lindsay t...

Although winters in Ontario can be pretty cold, Marsha and Marc opted for a January wedding and picked a perfect day. Besides being a really cool couple, they were brave enough to run outside in the freezing cold for some outdoor wedding day portraits (which I think were totally worth it)! And Marc’s brother also mentioned in his speech that they watched the entire series o...

This was a wonderful fun filled wedding on Chicago’s North shore but I will let Ana tell you her story. “Most women dream of their wedding day since they were little. I on the other hand never bothered to think about it; I always thought my mom would plan it all! My mom lives in another country and when my husband proposed I was pretty much mortified: “Now what?&rd...
