angela is what you’d call detail oriented. their wedding was the definition of DIY. and it was the definition of green. but what we loved the most was how much thought was put into every detail.
my favourite: the fact that the bridesmaids walked down the aisle with balloons instead of flowers. but it’s not only that. each balloon signified a loved one who was unable to attend the wedding but was there in spirit.
but i think pickles, taters, and olives were the biggest part. no, not the foods. the dogs. a+a have three, quite eccentric jack russell terriers who HAD to be at the wedding. you see, these dogs (aka the kids) are the ones who wear the pants. not anthony, not angela… the dogs rule the family. so it was only natural for olives to be the flower girl, and pickles and taters to walk ange down the aisle.
only problem: if they’re not tired out, they’re gonna cause a ruckus at the ceremony.
solution: well… you’ll just have to see.
here’s their sde together with my favourite photos of the day. big shouts go out to amanda for an awesome job shooting with me! And a huge thank you to Amy Seeley for providing us with a brand new song!

kudos to amanda for this series. she returned every 3 minutes or so to grab the same angle of the polaroid developing. i then went ahead and designed the layout. good teamwork!

olives, the smallest of the pack (and the girl i might add) leads the games.

one of many small things…

cuff links to commemorate loved ones on one wrist, and daily worn pearls on the other. i love that she wore jewelry that’s an everyday piece. now when she wears them again, they’ll have so many memories.



instead of guests sitting on “angela’s side” or “anthony’s side” at the ceremony, they simply wore pins.

the boys tug at ange as she walks through hand made pinwheels lining the aisle.

one of my faves from the whole day.

the old mac vs pc game. vows written on electronic devices… and speeches too. fitting, since anthony works for a cell carrier just north of toronto.

[click to enlarge] i couldn’t decide if angela was a tad cruel to make the guys wear green heart glasses at first. until i saw them wearing them every chance they got!

by this time hunger was kicking in. and this was sounding really amazing.


guests assemble polaroid cards with marital advice and personal notes.


the parents’ dances went from sentimental to hip hop in no time.

Love it! Also the dogs are so cute.
I loved this post the most!
Both the wedding and the coverage was spectacular!
what is the title of this song? i can’t figure it out…
Awesome SDE. Looked like a fun one for sure. Was hoping to see some photo booth fun though.
