Love makes you feel like you’re floating on air. And when you’re marrying the love of your life, you float away together, two hands held tightly to the string of a balloon; ready to face whatever beautiful adventures lay in your future. Catherine and Aaron should know. They held on tightly to the 36-inch pink and white balloons that added a stylish touch to their already fashionably chic wedding at the The Old Mill Inn & Spa in Toronto.

When we first learned that bride Catherine is a stylist for Style At Home magazine, we knew this would be a wedding packed with sharp touches to make us swoon. It was an intimate affair, consisting of 28 guests on the garden patio under a canopy. But, though the guest list was small, the day was filled with big moments and memories. Catherine dazzled in her strapless Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner princess dress. And we couldn’t help catching multiple shots of the bride’s perfectly flashy Badgley Mischka sequin shoes and the double feather flower hair piece that completed her look. Adding a flash of color were the bridesmaids who were donning kelly green strapless cocktail-length dresses by After Six.

Throughout the event, we floated on air right along with Catherine + Aaron. Catherine hand made paper cranes for each guest and there was a plethora of candy, brightly-colored macarons, and other pastries scattered throughout the reception. The guests swayed lightly to the sounds of a 3-piece jazz band as they gathered around the big dinner table, celebrating the love of Catherine + Aaron. At the end of the evening, the bride and groom picked up their balloons and floated away together; ready to begin the rest of their lives as husband and wife.

We arrived at the Old Mill Inn and Spa on the banks of the Humber River, prepared to photograph the wedding of Amanda & Michael – two beautiful people so obviously in love, it was almost painful. What we weren’t prepared for was the star-struck, almost paralyzing feeling we felt when we walked into their separate preparation rooms and found two of most stunning individuals we’ve ever had the honor of photographing.

Michael – who looked astonishingly similar to Jude Law from certain angles- was debonair in his black tux, white shirt and cream colored tie. Amanda though, well let’s just say she threw the paralyzing punch. She was a complete knock-out in her princess cut gown that was speckled with tiny white polka dots, and a pair of diamond drop earrings. She called the dress her “flirty dress” and that seemed to describe it perfectly.

Amanda’s six sweet ladies all wore adorable knee-length lavender gowns, ruffled at the bottom and tied across the chest; while Michael’s groomsmen donned dark grey suits with matching lavender-hued boutonnières.

Despite the “oohs” and “aahs” we were feeling inside as we started photographing this group, we kept our cool and made it through the night. And what a night it was! The speeches were legendary and caused quite an uproar during their reception. The entire room was in hysterics at several points that night.

The real party though, hadn’t even begun. When the DJ’s from Star Productions got going, it was as if someone had flipped a switch. If it was previously on laughter – it was now on DANCE and boy did they! That dance floor was the hottest ticket in town and it was quite evident, a great time was had by all of Amanda & Michaels guests.

Many thanks to our gorgeous couple, Amanda and Michael for sharing your special day with us! And may you together, live Happily, Ever, After.
