Unforgettable Summer Wedding at Toronto Golf Club
2022 was such a wild ride! The first full ‘post pandemic’ wedding season meant that couples who had been waiting out the pandemic or had postponed until ‘22 were finally able to celebrate the wedding they had planned for!!! It was a huge wedding boom for the industry and we couldn’t have been happier to photograph the super joyous celebrations. Weddings are always happy events; however, for some reason ‘22 felt even more celebratory than normal.
One of the very memorable events was Heather and Ken’s summer wedding at the stunning Toronto Golf Club. We first spoke to Heather about their wedding photography at the beginning of the year. They had waited a year from what they originally planned and still thought it would be a good idea to have a ‘Plan B’ just in case the dreaded ‘C’ word was still an issue. As ‘22 went on, they decided they would go with their ‘Plan B’; having an intimate wedding ceremony and dinner with immediate family in early June and if all things went well, they would celebrate their big wedding bash with all their extended family and friends in August at Toronto Golf Club. We photographed both their intimate wedding in June at the glamorous Oretta restaurant in downtown Toronto and their day at Toronto Golf Club and couldn’t have been more moved by how Heather and Ken made their wedding day(s) plans their own. They didn’t worry about tradition or what their wedding day ‘should be’; instead they focused on their families and celebrating such a huge life step after 12 years together!!
Their wedding reception began with family photos in front of Toronto Golf Club’s stunning Clubhouse and then we whisked them away to take advantage of Toronto Golf Club’s stunning grounds around the Clubhouse. The summer sunlight can be a challenge for timeless wedding photographs; however, we knew right where to go; the impressive trees along the long driveway into the club provide the perfect shade for elegant and timeless wedding photographs! Heather wore a beautiful summer organza wedding gown by the incredible designer, Theia Couture. After mingling with guests during a very happy cocktail hour, which felt like a huge reunion of friends and family , and the first wedding putting contest we’ve ever photographed, haha, they were welcomed to dinner in Toronto Golf Club’s beautiful dining room. The food, wine and company made for such a memorable evening!
After the very heartfelt speeches of their parents and close friends, it was time to get the party started!!! It began with Heather and Ken’s first dance and by the end of it, everyone was on the dance floor!!! They danced the night away with their guests under the stars which felt like a movie moment!!! We couldn’t be happier that our sweet couple were finally were able to be reunited with all the friends and family to celebrate their happy wedding together!!!
