As soon as the door opened on our stretched out 61 seater, complete with bendable mid section I could tell that we were in for an all-out fun time. Claire and Chris jumped in as our courteous, uniformed driver held the door. Chris, being one of fairness, reached into his pocket and fished out a little something for our driver – 5 TTC Tokens. You see, Claire and Chris are all about sustainability and Chris is also a political member of the Green Party – So one would expect nothing less than a hip, green wedding from them and that is exactly what they delivered! I also have to say that it was one of the most fun weddings I have been to in quite some time. Live music, wedding pies, vegan cuisine and not a stretched Hummer to be seen!
The venue (The Berkley) was also fantastic, with an eclectic variety of rooms and hallways to shoot in. It seemed as if every time we turned a corner or moved a a few feet, there was yet another opportunity to get a quick shot or two in.
Chris and Claire were also great sports, as I hurried them away from the party for a second quick session of shooting before the night drew to a close! They were such a great couple!
I also have to thank my great second shooter, Ryan of Rowell Photography as well as Patrick, who did an excellent job on assisting with lighting. They helped make short work of a very busy day.
One other fun thing that we did for their wedding was the setting up of a photo booth (more like a mini photo studio) so that guests could be themselves…. or not! Needless to say, it was a total hit!
