Imagine starting college with your whole future ahead of you. You’re at the beginning of your journey as an adult, and you know that the sky is the limit when it comes to how much you can accomplish. Your mind is set on a career and you are on a planned path to reach your goals. Everything goes according to plan, except for a happy surprise that you discover in the home that your share with your schoolmates. You meet the love of your life, and by the end of your college days you truly have it all: the education, the career and a partner to start your life with.
This is how it happened for Kate and Nick! They met at Queen’s University where Kate studied to be a nurse and Nick was on a path to become a successful Microsoft employee. They shared a house, became fast friends, started dating and moved into their very own home full of love and promises. They shared an interest in fashion which inspired Nick’s gift to his bride on their wedding day: a pair of sassy black Christian Louboutins - like a modern day Cinderella story!
On the day of their wedding, the party got ready in contemporary style at the One King West hotel in downtown Toronto. The bridesmaids wore light grey off-the-shoulder dresses with sweet little black shawls and softly swept up-dos while the bride slipped into her amazing gown. The gown had a long beaded bodice and a full skirt of sheer white ruffled rosettes, and a long train that would cause any girl in her right mind to swoon.
Kate allowed Nick to see her before the wedding so they could take full advantage of the hotel’s picturesque architecture together. Nick looked positively giddy as his bride-to-be descended the winding lobby staircase. From there we got some incredible shots of the couple in the historical Toronto Dominion Bank vault downstairs in the hotel.
The rest of the photos we done outside at the Monte Clark Gallery and ceremony itself was held in the Arta Gallery, both in the Distillery District. The buildings exteriors are classic with green shuttered doors and beautiful old brick. It was an intimate affair with close family and friends in attendance.
