Karol & Michael

Summer Backyard Wedding

At every one of our initial meetings with our couples, we always tell our couples that as much as we’d love to spend a dedicated day hanging out with them and creating fun and creative photos with them, we fully understand that a wedding day is not a portrait session. We want our couples to enjoy everyone moment with their family and friends. When we met Karol and Michael though, they right away told us they’d like to skip their getting ready to have more time for those fun and creative portraits, and you know we had to jump at the opportunity.

The original plan was to shoot at the abandoned Barber Paper Mill, where we did Jenn and Arvin’s engagement shoot the year prior. Everyone was in love with the idea of doing wedding photos at such an unconventional and unique location. Sadly, when we went to scout the location before Karol and Michael’s wedding, the Barber Paper Mill was no longer accessible. The fencing had been reinforced all around the property due to safety concerns. With no other similar abandoned spots in the GTA and surrounding area, we moved on to plan B - the Aga Khan Museum.
