For the week prior to Mina & Jeremy’s wedding I had been checking the weather again & again!  When I woke up on the morning of their big day I instantly went to the window & wallah it was gorgeous outside! The day started with photographing Mina and the girls getting ready at her parents lovely home in Kensington. When I arrived Nancy (Mina’s Mom) had a tuna sandwich waiting for me. Thanks Nancy……It was delicious! Everyone was relaxed and enjoying the day. Sipping some champaign, eating snacks & sitting on the patio catching some rays!

As you can see by how many shots were taken…I loved Mina’s wedding dress & shoes. Mina & girls looked simply stunning! Mina is one of those lucky girls who can leave the house without a stitch of make-up, wearing a baseball cap & still looks amazing!  While I was shooting I also noticed how lovely Mina’s Grandmother looked. She was wearing a beautiful turquoise dress & these really funky sunglasses! When I was leaving I went to grab my own sunglasses & they weren’t there. Granny was wearing them as she thought they were hers!!! I must say she looked better in them than I do! Judith was photographing the guys & from what I understand they were a little more stressed than the girls! No one knew how to tie a bow tie! They even watched YouTube for instructions but eventually ended up going back to Holt Renfrew for help! Phew!

Due to some delays we ended up having just over 30 minutes for the formals & we still managed to get some fantastic shots! Other than this & one getting ready mishap  the rest of the day went off without a hitch. The wedding was beautiful. The reception was full of fun, happy tears and laughter! It was clear to me that Mina and Jeremy are very blessed & surrounded by people who love them dearly!

Mina & Jeremy, thank you for inviting me into your lives, and into your love story. Judith & I were honoured to be a part of your day. I must say I had to hold back the tears on more than a few occasions. I know in my heart your future is extraordinarily beautiful for you both. Much love and appreciation… Shawna & Judith
