Jill and Todd were married at The Berkeley in Toronto. Gorgeous, gorgeous venue! Not only did they have their ceremony and reception there, they also had their first look there too. I had never done one before but it is such a great idea. For those who aren’t familiar with what a first look is; the bride and groom have the chance to privately meet and to see each other dressed for the wedding just before the ceremony. It provides a great opportunity to see each other on your momentous day, before that walk down the aisle.
Other reasons why a first look is a great idea is it allows you to take great wedding photographs ahead of time on your wedding day so you can have a less stressful and relaxed schedule. I found that taking the time before the Wedding to shoot the couple photos, and bridal party photos made a huge difference in the pictures and the Wedding day experience.
As you’ll notice below, we were able to take a variety of pictures in different locations at The Berkley before the ceremony – we lucked out having the entire venue to ourselves. Wahoo! Thank you Sarah for helping me out.
Jill and Todd, thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. You two are charming in so many ways and you two were so natural in front of the camera – all the best to you both! xoxo.
Jill had her wedding dress custom made. Isn't it gorrrgeous? I fell in LOVE with it when I first laid my eyes on it.
Make-up and hair done by the talented Ivy Lam.

Anticipating the first look!
Loved the natural light in this room.
Gorgeous Bride!
I have never been to Disney before but can’t wait to see what they have in store. The one thing I’m determined to get is a pair of baby Mickey ears for Zen. Even though he won’t remember this trip to Disney at least he’ll have a souvenir.
