Margaret & John's Love Story: Whitby Ajax Wedding Photography

They say people meet by chance. But I am a firm believer that paths and connections are meant to happen. The Universe and God have a funny way of making sure to give you what you need at the right time. Thus is the case with my amazing couple and sweet friends Margaret & John

They say people meet by chance. But I am a firm believer that our paths and connections are meant to happen. Yes fate, karma whatever that means to you. The Universe and God have a funny way of making sure to give you what you need at the right time. This is the case with my amazing couple and sweet friends Margaret & John. Shortly after the Pandemic they lost their wedding photographer leaving them to start back at square one. Not exactly how you’d like things to go when planning a wedding right? Not to mention doing so after the world has stopped. When Margaret reached out, she explained her story and after a Starbucks Coffee date we knew that it was the start of a beautiful relationship.

We sat on the patio on a breezy early spring morning and after 10 minutes of listening to them both, catching glimpses of their adoration between one another, John’s dry sense of humour and a ridiculous amount of laughter…I knew their wedding day was going to be pretty epic. And here’s how it unfolded…

Getting ready photos were done at Ajax Hilton, First Look was done at Parkwood Estates in Oshawa. Followed by Refreshments and Intermission at one of John’s amazing Pubs: Bollock’s Pub in Oshawa. He owns a few more locations and if you’ve never been, I highly recommend you do so. The Pub intermission was pretty awesome and unheard-of on a wedding day. I must admit we absolutely loved the 30 min break to sit and hydrate. We were under strict orders to relax from our bride and groom. I mean…how thoughtful right? It was sentimental for them both and of course we had to have a shot outside before we went in.

Margaret’s sweet big sister Liz was her right hand throughout the entire day. Thank you Liz for all your help. . It’s clear to see how much you both love one another.

Such a FUN jam packed day we had. Margaret, your attention to detail and organizational skills are killer girl. I do love me a well organized bride and groom lol. . The laugher, the tears and the singing out loud after a few beers was so fun to document. I also wanted to send out a huge thanks to Jolene for all your help that day. Love ya sister, till next time!

Tamara & Jon's Wedding Love story: Toronto Wedding Photography

A little story about Tamara and Jon. Also sounds like (a little ditty bout Jack and Diane lo) jk…I met these two crazy love birds back in early 2022. We had just come out of the never ending Pandemic and spoke over a zoom call. I knew right away how much fun we would have at their wedding.

We planned a beach engagement session and met at the Bluffs on a very humid later afternoon. Sandy toes, side splitting laughs, and at the end sweat running down our brows and excited to see what we created together.

Fast forward to their wedding day. Another STUNNER of a day for Tamara and Jon. Here’s a sneak peak of their beautiful and FUN day!

Planning a wedding is stressful enough. There is a lot to do. I get it. Been there :) However if I can offer a little piece of advice…remember to have fun. Stressing over every single detail leaves you unable to enjoy and be present. Love and let go. After all, just look into your partner’s eyes and know that everything will be perfect when you have each other.

Tamara and Jon, thank you so much for having myself and Hilary document your Wedding Day. It was such a blast. You’re chemistry and love for one another is one of a kind. Any fool can see that. Telling your love story was so easy to do when a love like yours is so clear to see. Cheers to you guys!

Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness. All the best and till we meet again!
