I am going to start this post off with a quick congrats to Steph’s (and now Chuck’s) parents as they recently celebrated their 30 year wedding anniversary. These two were as sweet as they come, super attentive to each other and very much in love. Congrats!!!

Now, the sweetness did not stop there,  Stephanie and Chuck were super nice and sweet to to each other and everyone around. I remember when I first met them, I noticed that Chuck was a true gentleman and always opened the door for Stephanie. During our engagement session which was a little cold, they were very attentive about each other and made sure that I was ok too! Over our dim sum meet, they knew what each other wanted without even saying it and were kind enough to make sure I was well fed. They even invited myself, Lucy and Ron to stay for the reception even though our official coverage was over!! Steph, Chuck, thanks for being so thoughtful and kind.

The day of their wedding day came and when I arrived at Stephanie’s prep location everything was pretty calm. Contrary to what both Steph and Chuck talked to me about being stressed and really anxious, Stephanie was getting prepped by the talented Annie Kue while I had some time with her dress of other details, meanwhile, her bridesmaids were busy cooking something up for the guys. I recall that games were not something that was going to happen initially, but I guess Steph’s girl’s convinced her otherwise. Back at the guy’s place, Ron and Lucy were having a great time documenting the guys trying to put themselves together while battling to put some ice time via PS3.

Here are some images of the day.

Congrats Steph, Chuck!!!

After what must have been one of the hottest days this summer I was glad to be mainly indoors for Nechelle and Jivan’s second day of celebration. The day started with Nechelle getting ready at her parent’s home. Although busy with last minute touches and little things to do, you could tell that every time Nechelle’s parents had a look at their daughter that they were happy and proud. Nechelle’s sisters were on hand and ready to help her with anything which is always nice.

As Nechelle was getting all done up, I went for taking some images of her sari and may I say that in itself was quite the challenge. It is super elegant and full of details yes, but what you don’t see in the images was how heavy this thing was!!! The intricately made sari was easily over 5 pounds, which is why I had Lucy close by just in case. Nechelle, how you wore that all day long and still managed to get through the day without rest is beyond me!! Regardless, the sari looked beautiful on it’s own but when Nechelle put it on, it was a different story. The light in the room started to glow and her helpful sisters were helping Nechelle with her jewelry as her mom stood by and could not help but cry, it was quite the moment.

Meanwhile, I had my friend and colleague Kevin Lam help me document Jivan’s prep where I was told there too was no shortage of tears. However, the tears came from Jivan!!! It’s not what you think though, apparently Jivan needed to get some eye make up done and although his sister was super careful and gentle, us guys are just not used to putting stuff near our eyes.

Shortly after all family, friends, bride and groom met at the Hindu Heritage Centre in Mississauga for their Hindu ceremony.

Enough from me…here are the images of the day. Congrats Nechelle, Jivan!!
