Fiona & William | Summer Beach Wedding at the Lakeview Hamilton
Fiona and William are a fun-loving, cute couple. Seeing how compatible they are today, who would have guessed they didn’t mix well when they first met in high school! Being the nerd she was, Fiona was not pleased with William when he forgot the deadline to their group project and turned in a hastily written reflection. It took a few years before they bonded through a chat on video games and grew closer as friends. Finally, they started dating in their freshman year of university!
We were so blessed to witness Fiona and William’s big day, just a few months after their cheery Waterfront & Sugar Beach Engagement shoot! The happy day started off with door games, which filled the air with laughter! Following the tea ceremony and the memorable first look, the couple travelled to the beautiful Lakeview, where the ceremony awaited! In front of the sapphire ocean and with the company of loved ones, Fiona and William tied the knot! What a delightful day! Their happiness was contagious and it put a big grin on the guests’ faces. Certainly, the gleeful energy didn’t end there, as our star couple continued having the best time of their lives at the reception. They opened the dancefloor with perfectly choreographed dance moves, not without their own quirks and adorableness to make it their own! From the shoe game to the speeches, there wasn’t a moment when the hall wasn’t filled with a simple but sublime joy. We were blessed with good weather that day – take a look at the romantic photos we snapped of Fiona and William strolling on the beautiful beach! We were so honored to witness the union of these two best friends and document the lovely memories of their cheerful day! Congratulations!

SC & Jonathan | KWCAC University of Waterloo Wedding
After witnessing the love of SzeChing and Jonathan at their beautiful engagement shoot at Richmond Green Park, we can’t believe it’s already their wedding day! Their blessed day began with lots of fun and giggles. After the bride and groom got ready in their respective lodgings, the groom and his trusted groomsmen travelled to meet the beautiful bride, but not without a series of challenging door games! The bridal party had a blast whilst Jonathan and his men conquered all the games one by one, and finally got to see the bride in a dazzlingly crimson Chinese traditional wedding dress. After receiving blessings from family at the tea ceremony, SzeChing changed into a graceful white wedding dress and joined the bridal party to take a series of beautiful pictures at the University of Waterloo. Waterloo was where SzeChing and Jonathan met, went to church and school together, and they have decided to hold their ceremony there to commemorate their loving memories! It was a bright and sunny day, and the couple were glowing with joy and grace when being photographed by the water ponds and willow trees. The bridal party overall had so much fun doing this shoot, and it was delightful to watch! After that, we all arrived at the school church of Waterloo, a sacred and meaningful place for SzeChing and Jonathan, for their heart-warming and solemn ceremony. The best man and maid of honor gave heartfelt speeches, during which happy tears were shed. It was a moving scene. So much love, joy, blessings were felt. The bride and groom also gave sincere and sweet speeches. To thank their guests, the newlyweds prepared Hong Kong style snacks in cute little baggies for the guests to take home!
It meant so much to us to be able to walk with SzeChing and Jonathan on their special day. We were blown away by the sincerity of the emotions seen that day and the deep love this couple has for each other. Congratulations, SzeChing and Jonathan!
SC & Jonathan | A Sweet Summer Richmond Green Park Engagement
SzeChing and Jonathan are a committed, god-loving duo. They met each other at church when they were still students. While SzeChing was an active member of the fellowship committee at church, Jonathan was a quieter participant. Yet Jonathan slowly became more active and started working with her in the committee. SzeChing was a very active girl, always organizing different kinds of sport activities such as swimming, running, playing softball and badminton in her leisure time, and Jonathan was almost always there. In the summer when SzeChing graduated and Jonathan had one semester left, she joined Jonathan’s intramural softball team. One evening when they had finished the softball game and were walking together, Jonathan took the courage to ask! SzeChing took a week of careful consideration and deep conversation before they started dating. They could both feel the butterflies on their first date, when they went to Queen’s park for Canada day celebration and had ramen together. Soon after, a new job offer turned their love into a long-distance relationship. Looking at this couple today, we could be certain that distance didn’t diminish the sweetness and commitment in SzeChing and Jonathan’s love, but perhaps even amplified it.
5 years into their relationship, Jonathan decided to pop the question. He created a multi-stage scavenger hunt / escape room game all by himself, all filled with puzzles for SzeChing to solve. After almost 3 hours, SzeChing finally solved the last puzzle. Jonathan proposed and she said YES! It was deeply touching as Jonathan had planned this big moment for almost a year, and every bit of the game was thoughtfully organized to reflect their 5 years of loving memories.
We were deeply touched by this couple’s love story, their commitment and thoughtfulness for each other! The couple looks absolutely gorgeous on their casual stroll around Richmond Green Park, happily posing by the waterfall and under the beautiful willows. Thank you for having us on this delightful engagement shoot! We were also lucky enough to document SzeChing and Jonathan’s big day. Check out their wedding blog here!
JOANNA & ARTUR | Inn On The Twenty Vineyard Wedding
This Inn on the Twenty wedding is so vibrant and beautiful, especially the bouquets and blooms, we love everything creative here! Colourful bouquets brings such a happy and energized vibe, it was perfect for their wedding! Both Joanna and Artur are both graphic designers, so of course they would designed their own invitation suite with colors matching their theme and an illustration of themselves on the card. There was one thing we had in common when we had our initial meeting with them; we custom made our wedding bands and so did they! When we saw their matching-gold-set wedding bands on the morning of the wedding, it was absolutely beautiful!
Preparation photos was so much fun. Joanna had opened a bottle of champagne for the very first time in her life; she was so scared but so want to do it! You go girl! Her bridesmaids were such great supporters cheering her on and being scared with her. Their laughter and expressions are super priceless! I had so much fun capturing these candid moment, while laughing and tearing alongside with them. While the girls were having so much fun, the guys were busy getting ready inside their cottage room down the street. They opted in for a first look, where cards was exchanged with one another. “I Whaley Love You” uber cute you guys!
Artur arrived at the ceremony first to set up and Joanna came a bit after. When he saw her again for the first time walking towards the chapel, his reaction was ultra priceless! (You gotta scroll down to see!) Ohhh and he even helped her with her dress, so sweet of him! All smiles for the groom at the ceremony, he even took photos of his bride walking down the aisle! Super funny; the room was filled with laughters! This couple sure can get people to laugh and cry happy with them! When it came to vows, the words were sweet and sentimental that touched many of their guests!
During the reception you see more of their creativity, I just love love love all their details! In the cocktail space, there were photos of their travel journeys together, little golden dinosaurs in geometric lanterns, a green typewrite and florals displayed on top of a wooden cabinet. Inside the banquet room, there was a large colourful floral piece hanging just above their sweet heart table. Their vibrant and colourful florals filled the room on each of the dining table along with a hand picked book, more of the golden dinosaurs, and table number with the reversed side of the menu card. Super talented friends they have - the customized donut wall was handmade and painted by their lovely friends! Ohh so jelly! As a guest at Joanna & Artur’s wedding, you can sure keep yourself busy and interactive throughout the night. They had so many stations in the cocktail room. A Instax/selfie station with the pretty golden backdrop, another pink and yellow patterned backdrop of their J & A initials, boardgames station, advice survey cards, last but not least the dance floor was filled was so much energy!
Congrats Joanna and Artur! This was such a fun and beautiful wedding that we were so honoured to have captured, thank you for having us!
