As an Old Mill wedding photographer, I've captured countless moments in brides' and grooms' love lives over the years. In all the weddings I shoot, I always try to capture the love between a couple, and if I do my job right, that love shines through in the photos. There are, of course, other stories behind these images, but those are for another day. Today, let's focus on this wedding at Old Mill in Toronto. The bride and groom were not only an absolute pleasure to photograph, they also did something that was really special: they got each other a personalized wedding gift. In this photo, you can see the bride reading her husband's letter to her. What a wonderful gesture! She reads the letter out loud to her family and bridesmaids and the guests who were present at her preparation.
A letter from the groom is not a common thing to see. The couple was married in a very traditional ceremony where the bride's father walked her down the aisle. I have been shooting weddings for almost 10 years and I have come across many different things along the way. While I have photographed many different types of events, nothing beats a wedding. Not only is the bride and groom the couple that is getting married, but the parents and families are too. I can't say that I love the entire process of a wedding from start to finish, but as long as I am documenting the moment, then I'm fine. I always get excited to see how the day comes together and how the whole event is put together.
This is a beautiful photo that we hope you enjoy.
