Vikki and Derek's Wedding

Vikki and Derek held their ceremony at the St. Patrick's Catholic Church in San Francisco.  This was the first wedding that My and I attended in a Catholic Church and we both enjoyed the experience.  I was able to capture some nice photos from different locations including the balcony of the church.

The reception was at the Green Room in the San Francisco War Memorial.  Formerly a lounge for World War I veterans, the room featured high ceilings with beautiful chandeliers and a loggia facing the City Hall.  A very elegant reception location.  The centerpieces and menus complimented their color theme of yellow and brown.  Entertainment included a rigged game where the guests guessed the ages of Vikki and/or Derek when shown a picture, a photo booth, and a candy bar.  The night was capped off with great music and dancing.  We both had a great time at the wedding.  Thanks for letting My and I be apart of your special day.

Jennifer & Darren's Wedding

My and I went back to my hometown of Toronto, Canada to attend Jennifer and Darren's wedding.  We were hoping for the best with the weather as the forecast earlier that week called for rain.  Fortunately for bride and groom, the weather turned out to be beautiful that day and I am so happy it did.


The ceremony was held at the Sunnyside Pavilion alongside Toronto's waterfront.  It was very nicely decorated with gorgeous flowers and rose petal on a white aisle runner.  You know that it's summer time in Toronto as the flowers were in full bloom.  The musical trio added a touch of elegance to the ceremony.

The reception venue in the Victorian Ballroom at Le Jardin was very classy on its own featuring  high ceilings, an abundance of natural light and a fireplace.  The large dance floor made for a evening of multiple dance performances from the newlyweds.  We had an awesome time.  Congratulations Jen and Darren!


The focus on the select few rose petals here made this picture really stand out.

The flower bouquet was just beautiful.  I wanted to make it the focal point while incorporating the other details of the ceremony.

Jen and Darren's wedding was full photographers and had very limited space during the ceremony.
I took this photo while standing on a chair in the very back of the ceremony.

This is one of my favorites of the day.  A shot of the bride and her bouquet.

The reaction of the bride and groom is priceless.  A great way to end the evening.
