Joy-filled weddings are kind of our business here at SMP, and this Toronto Island affair captured by Reannan Ross Photography? It’s delivering all kinds of happy. Happiness in the form of a cultural love-fest at the dreamy Algonquin Island Association Clubhouse, a nature-filled setting more than perfect for this crafty bride and groom, who DIYed almost every detail (here’s looking at you, pretty, pretty blooms) and set about creating a day of sweet celebration for their devoted friends and family. See every last love-filled moment in the full gallery.
From Reannan Ross Photography… The bride is of Irish and Japanese decent and the groom is from India, but grew up in Italy. From kimonos to sarongs this wedding had tons of culture. A do-it-yourself wedding, the bride arranged her own flowers, bought her dress on Etsy and set the scene for an open, friendly, cultural experience on Toronto Island. By the end, we all knew how to Bollywood dance!
As their photographer, I got some inside information on the bride and groom and their hobbies and learned they love portrait galleries. Having lived in places like London, England and Japan, they had seen portrait galleries all over the world. Since they had a small wedding, I was able to take a portrait of each guest for them making for an incredible menagerie of colour, expression and love from their guests.

From the Bride…We wanted the wedding to feel like a romantic secret garden. We got engaged in Niagara on the Lake so it seemed like the perfect location to have the wedding of our dreams. The morning of the wedding I was so excited that the big day was finally here. My bridesmaids and I went to the salon to get out hair done and then back to Queens Landing to have have our make-up applied. The morning was calm and exciting all at the same time. We took our pictures before the ceremony, one of our favorite memories was when we got to see each other for the first time, we both cried and laughed and appreciated the moment only the two of us could understand. We were lucky enough to have some beautiful pictures taken on a magnificent sailboat. The ceremony was in the garden at The Pillar and Post, we wanted it to be romantic but also very light hearted and funny. The aisle was covered in heart shape rose petals and two beautiful flower arrangements stood on mirror boxes at the alter. After the ceremony all the guests headed back to Queens Landing for cocktails and the reception. The lobster grilled cheese sandwiches and candy buffet were a huge hit during cocktails. We had a large wishing tree for guests to sign and a kissing booth to have some fun in. The patio was decorated in hanging birdcages with our pictures on them and big beautiful paper flowers. Dinner was amazing and the bottomless champagne was a favorite to many. Th room was filled with fresh floral candelabras and hundreds of pillar candles. The cake take was covered in fresh blooms and many complimented us on this. The gold chilvari chairs had a pink wrap on them and the head table had beautiful pink drapery behind it. The speeches were all hilarious and heartfelt, and then came a terrific night of a jam packed dance floor. Cheeseburgers, poutine and onion rings as a night cap put our guests right to sleep.

Picnics, Scrabble and cupcakes rank high atop my list of “favorite things,” so when I saw that this darling shoot captured by Vasia Weddings happened to include all three, well… let’s just say these two sweeties are my new virtual besties. Besties that are not only seriously cute (they sooo are), but are totally creative, too, incorporating all of the aforementioned with a banner of hearts from Le Soirees Weddings + Events and the groom-so-be’s favorite soda, Coca-Cola. Dive into all of the pretty in the full gallery. It’s beyond darling.
From Vasia… These two are so adorable and head over heels in love with each other. They wanted to do their engagement shoot in a sun-drenched field and had some super cute prop ideas! They incorporated Tim’s favourite drink, Coca-Cola, along with a Scrabble game, some cupcakes, a toy camera and some red hearts! Simple, but sweet.
