Isabell & Stephen, Engagement

, ,

Isabell and Stephen will be my last wedding this year come end of October, and instead of doing engagement photos to lead up to it, we decided to do a video. It realy is an interesting story of how forces on the other side of the world can bring people together, and how something great came out of something so terrible.

 
“OOOOMMMMMGGGGG!!!! your amaziing! So amazing! Stephen and I love it! you really do magic! We cant believe it! Love Love! We both could kiss you, you’re so talented!

-Isabell & Stephen”

(.. I think they liked it!)

 

Cynthia & Abel

This job was a pleasant surprise.  I first heard from Abel through a car forum I am a part of.  I haven't been on the forum in a very long time, but long ago I posted a thread to advertise my site here.  Somehow Able found it and buried deep in the list of threads on that forum, and contacted me.

 
““Aaron captured moments we didn’t think possible! His creative style and artistic talent are the reasons we chose to have him as our photographer and we’re absolutely pleased with the results; the photos are fantastic! He’s great to work with, easy going and made the whole experience enjoyable. Thanks Aaron!””

While the main wedding was a destination event in Turks And Caicos, Cynthia and Abel wanted some photos of their reception here with all of their family present.  It was a shorter day than usual, but was pretty complete minus the actual ceremony.  I was also treated to a new (to me) traditional of fighting for the bride, where the groom has to run the gauntlet of tricks and traps to be allowed to pick-up his bride.  Fortunately the worst of it was limited to lemon wedges, wasabi peas, and kissing your brother!  Here are a few of my favorite shots of the day...

Clarice & Bud

A perfect way to spend the May 24th weekend.  Lots of sun, perfect temperature, and a wedding to document.  Bud is an old work friend so I generously offered no real time frame on my services that day.  It was a long 15hrs!  We started with hair and make-up downtown in a nice old brick building called The Verity Spa.  Then we all packed into the limo and headed north to the town of East Gwillimbury where the ceremony was held at Sharon Temple, a very old church built by Clarice's great great great great great great GREAT grandfather!  So it definitely had special significance for them.

We wrapped up the evening with dinner and dancing at the Enoch Tuner Schoolhouse; another nice little brick building downtown.  The highlight of the day though was truely the great parking spot I got behind the schoolhouse.  A real gem downtown if ever there was one.  Here are a few excerpts from the day...

Natalie & Moon

This was a short day but was also so my first Korean wedding, and we were treated to a traditional Korean tea ceremony, complete with the throwing of the nuts!  They were a fun couple, and since she also rides an R6 motorcycle like mine, she's OK in my books.  We wrapped up my portion of the day with a brief stroll through the Distillery District.  It was nice to get back in there in shoot again.  Here are some of my favorite shots from the day...
