Sima and Armin – Magnolia Ballroom, Houston wedding

Over the last few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of documenting a Thai wedding, two Vietnamese weddings and a Persian wedding. Presenting Sima and Armin and their drop-dead gorgeous Persian wedding set at the lovely Magnolia Ballroom in Houston: There are so many things I could gush about regarding the Persian (Iranian) wedding culture: The feast of honey, nuts and nougat spread out before the couple during the ceremony, the bride’s custom of feigning coy reluctance when asked by the officiant to marry her groom, and the bridesmaids equally coy responses of “the bride has gone to pick flowers.” Sima is as delightfully fun as she is beautiful, and Armin was one of those grooms who really cares deeply: about his lovely lady, and about the importance of their wedding. For a beautiful day, I want to thank you two so sincerely!

Han and Drew – Marie Gabrielle wedding in Dallas Texas

Han and Drew met while creating a building: working on the same architectural project together. I love these two, they’re sophisticated but spunky, and totally adored by their friends and family. The reknowned restuarant Marie Gabrielle hosted the day, and their outdoor gardens proved a gorgeous spot for an outdoor ceremony. I love the dynamic between Drew’s two amazing kids and Han, who adores them like her own. This was a really touching part of the day; seeing the tenderness shared by the new family. To a talented, sparkling couple who truly shine in each other’s presence; all the best of the best!

Lisa and Li – Cambridge Mill Wedding, Ontario

Weddings like this one make my heart delight. Lisa and Li’s day was full of whimsy, beauty (hello Lisa!), wide smiles and wft moments in the best way possible. Like Li’s brother appearing, suddenly, in a Winnie-the-Pooh costume. Traditional Chinese door games saw kleenex-pulling challenges and unshowable moments with groomsmen and seaweed paper. Lisa and Li, you two are light-hearted and shining, and I’ve never used “good-natured” as a description and meant it with such admiration and possitivity. Such a treat working with you both!

Amy and Lorant – Colborne United Church Wedding, London Ontario

Olivia — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:51:01 +0000

I dare you not to fall in love with Amy. Stunning, genuine, vivacious, and sparkling, she possesses an infectious sense of fun and is seriously one of the nicest people I have ever met. Ever. Lorant is a perfect match; kind and loving, with a killer sense of humour. I met these two at Lauren and Andy’s (also fun-filled!) wedding in June, and you can see Amy and crew as bridesmaids HERE. Amy contacted me about her own wedding a few months later, and I am all the more humbled to have had the honor. I adore you two, want to publically thank you for your patience during my time of crazy house moves. Big hugs to you guys, I wish you all the best this great world has to offer, and may paths cross!
