This is one of the sweetest couples I have ever met. They had a traditional Filipino wedding, which was my first! They have some really unique traditions in their wedding ceremony's like the exchanging of the coins, among other things. It was very cool to see, and although it was similar in some ways to western weddings, it was so neat to see them incorporate their culture in their wedding ceremony.
I think I posted waaayyyy too many images from their day, but I really wanted to show off the story of their day, so I did narrow it down a bit (I originally had over 75 images picked out, lol). I don't really post too many images from ceremonies, and after chatting with another photographer, he said you can tell a lot about a photographer by their ceremony shots, so I thought I would include more than usual:).
Our day started out at the hotel where the groom was getting ready. I snapped a few shots of the guys and then headed over to the brides home where she was getting ready. They got the owner of an old school ford truck to chauffeur them around for the day. Talk about a sweet ride! We got to the ceremony where there was a wonderful buzz in the air. Once their traditional Filipino ceremony came to an end we snapped a few family photos, then headed downtown for the group shots.
We let the wedding party go have some drinks and stole the bride and groom for the romantic stuff. We went to Broadway where the Broadway street fair was going on. What a great day to go down there for wedding photos! Huge thank you to the Broadway Cafe for letting us shoot there, and for buying the bride and groom a milkshake! Lastly, we went to a park, where the lighting was amazing. It felt like it was right out of a fairytale.
We photographed alongside Josh from Sica films. His film from the film was so cool! I would highly recommend him to anyone. You can check out their wedding video here: http://www.sicafilms.ca/ Too bad he wasn't around when I got married.
Congrats to this lovely couple! Thank you so much for letting us capture your special day!!!
