w00t !!!! I’m back to blogging full weddings ! It’s been absolutely crazy these last few months and I am slowly finding time in between album designs to get back to blogging.
Ayesha and Leonard are HITCHED ! Sorry everyone, this hawt Teacher and Doctor are officially off the market. Man, come to think of it, I’ve had quite a few Teacher/Doctor combinations lately haha I’m starting to wonder if this is a trend or something.
The week of the wedding was brutally insane. Leonard has been away at Med school at MacMaster, so planning an engagement session was a little difficult. We agreed to have the session the Monday before the wedding. Unbeknownst to me, he went down to Vegas for his stag and was slated to come back Monday morning, just in time for the session. As luck would have it, he missed his connecting flight and was stranded until that evening. The session didn’t happen. At this point I didn’t have time for a make-up session as my week was rammed, but I knew it was super important for them to have some images for their reception, so I shuffled things around like crazy to have the session done and edited and delivered within 24 hrs ! On top of the items to check off the wedding day ‘to-do’ list, Leonard had just graduated from Med School the night before the wedding. Needless to say, after convocation, they drove back home and didn’t get much sleep, since the wedding day was an early start. Congrats bud ! All the hard work has finally paid off !
That weekend turned out to be a 40 hour weekend of coverage for me with Sumbul+Sanjay (their blog post will be coming soon), Ayesha+Leonard, and Dina+Jeffrey’s weddings. Never again will I attempt to do this. Ayesha and Leonard’s wedding took the take for the longest wedding this year….17 hours of unadulterated FUN ! And I made it through the weekend with NO gatorade ! I don’t know how I did it haha
Therese and I started the morning with Ayesha and the girls. There were tons of laughs…and tons of tears. Some good tears, some bad tears (i.e. slideshow disater recovery). Ayesha’s mom ROCKED ! I totally see where Ayesha get’s her spunkiness from haha Her mom was working it for the camera…like allll the time haha. Ayesha her siblings definitely must have had an awesome childhood. Her parents are super cool. I also had an opportunity to work with Colin and his team from Blu Pearl Media Film + Video and that was fun. They pulled off an awesome SDE that evening too, which I missed as I was in the washroom haha
Eugene started off with Leonard and the boys. As Leonard was still getting ready, Ayesha’s sister, Tricia, delivered his present from Ayesha. Leonard gladly accepted it in nothing but his skimmies. It was a box, with an apple in it. It took Leonard a few minutes to catch on because there was more. Below the tissue paper was a brand new Macbook Pro ! Now, that’s what I call a gift !
They rented possibly the biggest stretch limo I have ever seen. It was called the “Hummer Killer” and you can get it from our friends over at LA Limos. No doubt it was a Hummer killer. This thing was a beast !
Big thank you to Eugene and Therese for helping out with the coverage. Below are some of my favorite images that day:
It was an honor to be part of your special day and I’m so thankful Karina and Jeremy referred you to me. Your smiles and laughs are infectious ! What a blessing it is to become friends with you !
Bring on the babies !
