Estates of Sunnybrook Wedding | Claire + Chris

This's a beautiful Korean wedding lunch reception at the Estates of Sunnybrook I had the pleasure to shoot by the side of Steven at Glisten Photography. Sunnybrook Estates was quite a popular wedding venue for young couples. It had multiple rooms for weddings of different sizes. Yet Sunnybrook's more than a regular banquet hall. The three main areas at Sunnybrook, Vaughan Estate, The Couch House and McLean House, each was a separate building on its own and hence had their private space. Each house had their own characteristics. Sunnybrook also had more than one well maintained gardens for outdoor ceremony. It's a gorgeous space for summer weddings and fall weddings. Claire and Chris's intimate Korean wedding took place at the smaller McLean House. It's a simple ceremony followed by a laid-back lunch reception. I felt that Claire and Chris had picked a wedding venue and planned a day that's perfect for them. The wedding's casual and sweet. It's a minimalistic celebration with close friends and families. I really enjoyed documenting a day like this.

Sunnybrook Estates Wedding Creative | Lemon Party with a Touch of Lavender | Toronto Wedding Photographer

In collaboration with some talented wedding vendors in Toronto and our so kind, non-professional models Montana and Simon, the wedding creative shoot at Sunnybrook turned out to be a great success. I had so much fun working with the team and getting our beautiful bride, Montana, to fall in love with Simon, our groom whom both Montana and myself first met that day. I'm happy that, after some warmup, the creative shoot didn't feel staged at all. There's something quite satisfying and magical when one's able to turn two strangers into lovers for a few hours. I think good photography is a magnet and it connects people, both the people who were in the picture and those who view the photographs later on. Hence, to all camera-shy brides and grooms-to-be's, taking natural wedding photos isn't that bad. It's in fact something very achievable and super fun. At least, unlike Montana and Simon, you are really becoming husband and wife and are already in love with each other. That saves my some time convincing you to fall in love. Now let's enjoy these frames with Montana and Simon, in a bright, summery wedding theme featuring lots of lemon yellow and lavender purple. Be sure to check out our vendor list at the bottom.

Estates of Sunnybrook Wedding | Ajae & Ken

"There's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream." - Thomas Moore 

Ajae is a lovely Korean lady. Ken is Chinese. Love for each other and compassion are something that the two of them have in common. I was gladly invited by another talented Toronto wedding photographer Herman to help with photographing the first half of their wedding. The couple had their wedding ceremony at noon on a bright summer day followed by a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. It's magical too see how their love had united the two families despite language barriers and cultural difference. Toronto is a beautiful city for its diversity. Toronto weddings of all kinds are amazing examples of love in its purest form.
