Andrea & Josh's Hart House Wedding at U of T
 

After capturing their gorgeous engagement photos in Unionville, I knew this wedding would be nothing but picturesque... And I was not wrong! Andrea & Josh had an intimate wedding luncheon in the Hart House Music Room at University of Toronto.

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they celebrated a small outdoor ceremony that ended mere moments before the hot summer rains. Talk about beautiful luck!

 
 

Andrea and her sister got ready together in the early, early morning, before we headed off to U of T, where Josh was with his best man and parents. 

 
 

After their sweet "first look" we wandered the beautiful university grounds, and took photos of the couple amidst the classic Hart House architecture and greenery. 

 
 

During their ceremony, in the Hart House courtyard, Josh and Andrea planted a tree together, and stated their vows in front of the closest members of their community. 

 
 

As the recessional ended, the heavy skies opened up and poured. No matter, though! Everyone was cozy inside, enjoying a merry brunch and celebrating these gorgeous newlyweds!

Alison & Allia's Brunch Engagement Photos - L'Ouvrier Kitchen Bar

This is the way to do it! Leisurely brunch engagement photos, champagne, and a walk to stretch the legs... We begin at L'Ouvrier Kitchen Bar. Allia & Alison are too awesome to describe. Funny, artistic and completely in love, rooms light up when these two women enter... (See what I did? I tried to describe them anyway.) They suggested we meet at L'Ouvrier Kitchen Bar, a stylish yet laid back joint near Bathurst and Dundas. Brunch arrived with an entire french press pot of coffee. Talking, and laughing, it was easy to see why these two are such a sublime match. Champagne followed a delicious breakfast (I told you this is the way to do it!), and then we headed out into the city.

Alison graduated from University of Toronto, so it only made sense to explore the beautiful Victoria College campus. In fall coats, the ladies kept each other warm, laughing, running, even flying. Playing among the gothic stone and ivy-covered walls, we were filled with energy - adventure - even magic.

Grace & Ervin's Springtime Romance - University of Toronto Engagement Photos

Grace and Ervin were one of the easiest couples to capture on film. Their secret? They are totally in the moment! Honestly, sometimes it felt like they were the only two people in the world. I shot their University of Toronto engagement photos on the grounds of the beautiful Victoria College campus, in the golden afternoon sun.

The hazy light combined with the fact that, left to their own devices Ervin and Grace are in a world of their own, made for a totally romantic engagement shoot. It even left me feeling dreamy.

I can't wait to post images from their gorgeous bridal photo session, and I am so happy that I'll be present when these two lovebirds tie the knot in June!

Grace was glowing, with her makeup and hair by Toronto's Jennifer Schulz.

Congratulations to Grace & Ervin on the birth of their daughter Emma! See if you can spot them, in their happy maternity times, in the 2014 slideshow here!
