The sweetheart and the gentleman – We all fell in love with this wedding couple the moment we met them. Alyssa is a bundle of energy, beautiful personality with spontaneous burst out loud laughs and Kris, a wonderful, handsome guy who keeps it together very well with his calm, cool vibe. What a couple…and what a joy to photograph them. The day started at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in the bridal suite. We love photographing the bride at this hotel because the natural light is always beautiful and the rooms look great on photos.

The walk from the Chateau Laurier to the Courtyard restaurant gave us amazing photo opportunities. The bridal party were having fun, the bride was dancing the street… Everyone was cheering!

The ceremony was held inside the Courtyard restaurant. This is a challenging spot for ceremony photos because it is very dark. We have to set up radio poppers to give us a little extra light! The wedding was beautiful!

The rain did not stop us from exploring the downtown spots around the Courtyard, 18 york and the By ward market. The rain gave us the saturation of colors and the beautiful directional light you see in the next images. The bride and groom were very good models!

The rain stopped long enough to give us the opportunity to do more photos, a rain-rain go away dance 🙂 and some wedding party fun!

Back to the Courtyard for some more indoors photos and the official couple’s entrance.

What a beautiful wedding! Thanks Kris and Alyssa for a wonderful day!
