So a few weeks ago we got off a plane from Toronto suuuper exhausted after a suuuper time shooting a wedding on friday (Sarita & Geoff’s) and then another fabulous wedding we’d like to share with you today.

Not only did everyone (including us) have an insanely fun time but it was something really special because Marlena and Jacek are friends of ours! On top of it all it made our hearts really warm because Jacek nearly couldn’t contain himself with excitement that he’s actually going to get married, it was really really sweet to see him so excited…nice catch Marlena! ;) Congratulations you two!!!!

The weather was good, then bad, then good, then bad…you get the idea. We were constantly all battling the rain but these guys were real troopers and we got to photograph to the very last wet minute under our umbrellas. And can you blame us? Look at these images below….

 

 

 

 

One of Bartek’s favourite shots of the day:

 

 

 

 

 

This church (St. Thomas Aquinas) was absolutely stunning!

 

 

 

 

The door to the church was just asking to be used :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

These next three are our faves!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bee-utiful!

 

St. Michael’s College in Toronto has some sweet architecture and scenery:

 

 

 

 

 

We loved how everyone got some sparklers, they made a fantastic mood

 

 

 

Sarita and Geoff are both such caring individuals, and that’s part of the reason that brought them together! A long time ago they ran into each other at work and quickly found out how they both cared for the environment, wildlife, animals, you name it. And they have been inseparable since! Here they are now, married and off to start their whole life together. Congratulations you two!

 

 

Sarita had a couple shoes prepared just in case ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting ready with the bridesmaids in the powder room:

 

 

 

 

I think there’s someone in that belly!?

 

 

Aaaand! The guys…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just about to make the first kiss…look at Sarita’s raw emotion, it was so beautiful! They were totally into each other the whole ceremony.

 

 

Their first date was here, at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium!

 

 

Then we headed out for a really quick mini photo session:

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t these next few look so vintage? The dress, the tone, everything…we love it!

 

 

 

 

The first dance…

 

 

 

And finally, a beautiful father daughter dance.

 

 

Below are more moments captured throughout their happy day…

 

Wow, what an exciting four days! We would have never thought we’d be photographing and experiencing a four day wedding. Ever. And now that we have…we are soooo glad we did! The happy family and friends, the singing, colours, the aaaaah-mazing food, it was all an unforgettable time for everyone. In addition to all that Ellora is Bengali and Esben is Danish, so you can only imagine the fun everyone had in this cultural mix of people. A HUGE thank you goes out to Ellora, Esben and their family and friends for welcoming us into their lives for these four days!

Enough rambling and on to the photos! These are some of the best frames we’ve ever captured…

 

 

Look at all that beautiful gold jewelery!

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the handsome groom, Esben:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rockin’ a vintage pose…

 

 

For those of you who don’t read French: “Thank you for not touching” :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Bengali girl calls a Danish boy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had seconds to snap these next two before the sun disappeared behind the building, phew!

 

 

 

 

This might need an explanation…but as a Danish tradition when the man is wed, his socks and tie are cut! And unfortunately for Esben, a Bengali tradition is for the kids to steal his shoes too…only for him to have to pay for them. Poor thing, shoeless, sockless and tieless!

 

 

 

 

We were all floored when these two came out dressed the part, and danced a whole Bollywood choreographed routine! To a song called “Dhoom Tana” from the popular Bollywood movie “Om Shanti Om“. We almost forgot to take photos. Yep, they were THAT good.

 

 

Here are a few more photos in the slideshow below! We just HAD to use the song ;)

 

 

We’re baaaaaack! From Toronto! We had a fabulous time photographing a wedding. It was really cool because they happen to be our friends as well, so it made it that much more special for us.

It was the first time we flew with Porter, the new airline company that flies only a few major Canadian cities like Montreal and Toronto, and we are really blown away by the service. Compared some other major airlines, we had such a smooth flight which included a lounge, espresso, beer, wine, breakfast, you name it! Porter was there to make our trip as comfortable as possible. I hope they continue to be successful and it just proves that solid and unique business who listen to their customers really thrives in today’s economy.

Aaaanyways, enough blabbing about our fun flight because I gotta get back to work on photos from Ellora & Esben’s wedding day, as well as the other two weddings we shot this weekend.
