Erika and David’s intimate wedding at Berkeley Fieldhouse Toronto was a beautiful and memorable day to be documented. The day was simple with a lot of honest emotions. Erika and David took things slow, created the intimate space for themselves to look each other into the eyes on an otherwise busy day and fully enjoyed all the small yet important moments.
I was flattened when Erika and David emailed me after receiving their wedding gallery and said not only were they blown away by all the big and small moments and emotions captured in their wedding photos but they saw themselves in these images. They did not see someone unfamiliar posing for a beautiful wedding photo. Instead they saw their true beautiful selves in a timeless wedding photo. It was their true selves and authentic emotions which made these wedding photos beautiful and timeless. They were impossible to be duplicated. These intimate wedding photos felt personal and genuine to them.
A timeless photograph and authentic emotions will stand the test of time.
The value of wedding photos was like an inverted bell curve. When these photographs were first received, they sent ones back to their wedding day. Erika and David were able to relive their intimate wedding day at Berkeley Fieldhouse through these images and were happy to see themselves enjoying the day with a rollercoaster of emotions. Wedding photos probably lost some of their value as the days passed by. Other priorities in life took our attention away from a joyful wedding day and at times away from each other. But there will be moments in life when flipping through a wedding album gave us goosebumps and reminded us the promises we made to one another. Good wedding photos were not good bedding. They would not provide a lot of value every day. They were more like a good vacation. They reminded us how wonderful life could be. They recharged us when it was most needed. They helped us to appreciate the small moments and big memories.
Erika and David, thank you for trusting me to document your small moments and big memories. I hoped these wedding photos would bring you back to your intimate Berkeley Fieldhouse wedding in Toronto regardless of where you were at in life. Enjoy your vacation, I meant your wedding photos!
