Victoria Day Monday. It’s 10AM. I’ve started post processing the photos from the wedding I shot over the weekend. My phone rings and it’s my cousin. He asks me if I could shoot a last minute wedding for one of his friends at city hall in about an hour!? It’s going to be small and short and it’s a favour for my cousin. So I agreed cus’ after all, we’re family! So I quickly showered and packed my gear which hasn’t really been unpacked from the weekend wedding and headed out. I’ve shot a couple of weddings at Mississauga City Hall, but this was the first at the Markham Civic Center. The weather held up from the weekend, but at high noon, the light was glaring down from a cloudless sky. Not the best of conditions, but I’ll work with it.

It was strange that a government building/service was open on a statutory holiday, but the official said that for weddings, they are open everyday, rain or shine, holiday or not.

The wedding was small and quaint, as expected. Jason and Joyce were very pleasant to work with and I had a good time meeting my cousin’s friends. Congratulations Jason & Joyce and best wishes to your life together back in HK!

Ahh, the start of the 2007 wedding season. Weather in Toronto has been hot and cold as spring arrived, but mostly cold. This Victoria Day long weekend had a good mix of sun and a bit of a cool breeze which made it perfect for an outdoor wedding. Not sure if the weatherman is right, but this summer is going to be a scorcher!

I had the pleasure of covering Ray and Natasha’s wedding at The Country Club this past Saturday. I really enjoyed meeting their family and friends as I captured their moments together. Being the first wedding of the year, I have to honestly say that I was a little sore from carrying my equipment for 12 hours straight. But I’m sure I’ll feel more comfortable as the year progresses and I get back into lugging my gear around. Time to get an assistant! =)
