For me, the most important part of this splendid wedding at King Edward Hotel was photographing the families of the newlyweds. As you probably know, I lost my father before I got married and for me, documenting the presence of the family, friends and guests is of utmost importance. As they say, we are not here for a long time, we are here for a good time. Photographing the family, friends and the guests enjoying the special day is an important element of being a wedding photographer in Toronto or anywhere else in the world.
In several cases the couples contacted me after their big day to thank me for the images that captured certain members of the family or close guests who passed away not too long after. Being able to include their picture in the wedding album meant a lot for the bride and groom and they expressed their gratitude for that. Usually, our couples are young. My typical bride is anywhere between 25 and 35 years old getting married for the first time. At this age, couples feel their invisible and love is the most important for them. I totally agree with that and they always recommend that they budget enough time on their special day for family photographs. I also emphasized that during our engagement photo shoot which for me is a coaching session if you want because to give you the opportunity to teach the couple besides posing, lighting and basics of photography. Also, I use that opportunity to tell them about unforeseeable events that can happen on their big day. As a result, I rarely have to rush through the family photos.
In this image we can distinguish the two sisters of the bride were also the maid of honour and the bridesmaid enjoying the wedding day. On their left, the flower girl was also the bride's niece has a lot of fun. This photograph was captured on our way from the photo shoot to King Edward Hotel where the couple had their ceremony and reception.
