Melissa & Egan beautiful late summer wedding at Black Creek Pioneer Village (Toronto)

When Melissa showed me their wedding invitations on the day of their wedding, I was so impressed as they were beautifully hand drawn by her. The colours, aesthetic and how personal it felt that it was drawn and mailed to their guests really stuck with me.

As the day unfolded, I saw the same vision from their invitation come alive, and everything was beautiful.

Threatening rain on their wedding day, it didn't actually come until the sun had set and everyone was safely under the pavilion. Surrounded by their closest, family and friends, their wedding turned out to be a dream.

Thank you so much for trusting us to capture your love, Melissa & Egan! Words cannot express the joy I felt on your wedding day, so let me let the photos do the talking!

Congratulations! xo

When Jin predicted the future...

Jin was going through his old papers and handed me this one he found in one of his piles. It was a newspaper clipping of an illustration of the Eloise who lives in the Plaza (illustrated by Hilary Knight). I laughed but then I noticed this piece of paper was pretty old and I asked him when he found this clipping.

"A few years ago. I thought it was cute and I saved it"

That means he saved this piece of paper before we knew we were expecting, before we decided on naming our little girl Eloise and before we knew about the Eloise books. Which makes this piece of paper more special to me than a regular old newspaper clipping.

Happy Friday! (And Happy Thanksgiving to us Canadians!)
