Weston Golf and Country Club Wedding
Emily and Manuel’s elegant golf-club wedding at the Weston Golf and Country Club was so sweet and touching, and so many unique little elements were included throughout the day, making this wedding extra special!
Emily’s day started bright and early, with her closest friends arriving at her family home to get all glammed up for her big day. When we arrived, her hair and make-up was almost all done, and her bridesmaids were getting ready to put on their dresses and step outside for a few portraits with Emily.
Manuel, on the other hand, was just starting a board game with his groomsmen as we got to his parents’ home, and for an hour straight there was non-stop laughter as they took turns pitching each other ridiculous product ideas for the characters cards they drew. Funny enough, Manuel drew the Newlywed card…coincidence? Hmmmm I don’t know… As Manuel finished getting dressed, it was evident that the significance of the day really started to sink in. While the groomsmen were joking around in the yard, Manuel stepped aside for a few quite moments to reflect on the day ahead.
The Catholic ceremony was held at the beautiful Saint Clare of Assisi Catholic church in Woodbridge, where gothic chandeliers adorned the tall ceilings, stained-glass windows let soft nature light in, and a stunning alter greeted Emily and Manuel as they said their I Do’s in an emotion-filled ceremony.
After the ceremony, everyone headed over to the Weston Golf and Country Club for the reception. As the guests enjoyed some cocktails, we headed out onto the green for bridal party photos, and what better way to get from one location to another than to ride around golf carts! So much fun!
Before joining their guests for a few cocktails, Emily and Manuel stepped inside the Weston Golf and Country Club to change into Vietnamese outfits for a traditional tea ceremony, where their families congratulated them and presented them with gifts and well-wishes while Emily and Manuel presented them with tea.
Our absolutely favourite part of the night was when Emily, with the help of her bridesmaids, surprised Manuel with a serenade. The look of adoration was evident as Manuel watched his bride sing to him, and for the rest of the night neither one could stop grinning. The wedding day of Emily and Manuel was full of love and emotion, and we could not be any happier to have been able to capture these sweet moments for them to remember for the rest of their lives. Congratulations, you two!

Imagine standing a top of a mountain peak, surrounded by snow-peaked mountains that appear through occasional breaks in the clouds. The wind is furiously trying to unravel your hair and the cold stings your hands, but none of that matters. You are holding the hands of the love of your life, looking into their tear-filled eyes as they say their vows to you, promising to love you for the rest of their lives.
Shooting a wedding at Casa Loma is a Toronto wedding photographer’s dream come true, and Diego and I got this amazing opportunity at Laura and Alen’s wedding at the start of our wedding season for the year.
Laura and Alen originally had very different plans for their wedding venue and Casa Loma had not been in the picture until just a couple of months before the wedding. Crazy enough, Diego and I had driven past Casa Loma and remarked how cool it would be to shoot a wedding there just minutes before receiving the email from Laura and Alen telling us about the venue location change due to unforeseen circumstances.
It’s phenomenal how just a few personal touches can completely transform a wedding. While we were at Madsen’s Greenhouse just recently to capture a Winter wedding, Rachel and Joe`s March wedding at Madsen`s Greenhouse was definitely so unique and so special - their playful spirits and their deep love for their dog, Tobi, was evident in every little detail of the wedding. No matter where you looked, you could feel Rachel and Joe’s personalities and love for each other and for Tobi shine through. For us, there is no better way to describe Rachel and Joe’s wedding than as Whimsical Puppy Love!
