We finished photographing the bridal party in the courtyard at Old Mill Toronto. It was an incredible venue that perfectly showcased the couple’s love for each other. As we waited for the reception to begin, the wind picked up and gave the veil a beautiful motion. We were still able to capture these two beautiful people in front of the backdrop of the old mill. Here are a few shots from that day.
The wedding location is gorgeous and it was a nice change of pace from the traditional locations that we photograph every week. It was a perfect setting for our couple’s engagement portraits.
It was a warm summer day in the city and the colours were gorgeous. We captured some images on film which allowed us to capture beautiful natural light. They were so much fun to photograph because of the light and the natural beauty of the surroundings.
As we were preparing to photograph the reception, I asked the bride to pose so she and her husband could get a picture taken. I had my camera set to portrait mode and was looking to take a quick shot of the bride and groom. This couple really caught my eye as they seemed to be having a lot of fun. As they walked away a few paces from us there was a tree that cast a shadow over them. The light was pretty warm, very soft but they both looked very natural. The groom was kissing the bride’s shoulder and they were having a beautiful moment together. I really like the contrast of the light coming from the flowery bush behind them and the couple. I started taking the picture and asked them to keep smiling for the picture as I wanted to capture a moment between them. I took the picture quickly and as the picture was being taken I asked her to close her eyes for a moment. I knew it would look great with the light coming in from behind her. They both seemed to enjoy it. I asked the groom if he wanted to try posing for the picture. It was a great moment between them and I think it ended up being my favourite photo.
As a Toronto wedding photographer, I always try to happiness and love, very abundant on the wedding day. I think this picture came out beautifully.
