I love weddings such as this one…a couple with a lot of history; family and friends who are thrilled to be a part of their story, and a great party to follow.
Marina and Ben met in kindergarten! [Marina played hard to get for quite a few years] But when Ben finally won over her heart…a perfect wedding day is just what this chapter of their story needed.
I had so much fun shooting this couple because they truly enjoyed their day and each other, and focused on what it was all about…them tying the knot…the morning with the girls was completely relaxed…and that set the tone for the entire day…perfection!
Both the ceremony and reception took place at the lovely Richmond Hill Country Club…a beautiful spot for an outdoor ceremony and a gorgeous ballroom, with staff that was there to make sure the guests were well taken care of. The rest of the night was filled with touching speeches, some serious dacing, amazing food and just a fabulous atmosphere. Love it!
The first few fab photos of the boys getting ready were captured by the fabulous Robyn Chew…thanks so much for shooting with me!
Congratulations to Marina + Ben…you are the type of couple photographers dream to spend the day with…enjoy your well deserved European honeymoon.
