I couldn’t wait to photograph this couple’s wedding! Leonora and I have gotten to know each other really well through all her loyal blog stalking and Facebook comments (thanks Le!) It really turned out to be a beautiful day, despite the fact that our bride was ill, and feeling more ill as the day went on, but she held out and her beauty still shined through! We pushed her until she could no longer continue, but it will all be worth it in the end Le!! On to their wedding peeks……..
Onder and his iron
Loved all the fine details in their stunning downtown condo

Leonora getting ready with her twin sisters.
I especially thought the projection clock in their condo was so cool!
Her stunning “Melissa Sweet” gown….”Francesca”



The “fuzzy” slippers
Hair was done by her own sister, Stefany, of “Hair Addicts” salon.
This really touched her heart……and mine. Onder sent a morning gift of framed receipts of places they had first met, talked and dated! She had no idea he had actually kept these all this time.




Their ceremony was held at the gorgeous West River Event Centre. Flowers were designed and created by the very talented and gifted floral designer, Rosanne of Dizennio Floral Boutique (and who also happens to be a past client of mine!)


Yes, the guys walked up the aisle in their pink crocs. Also, should I mention??? Hmm…. Okay I’ll say it. It’s okay to laugh about it now, I guess. Okay……right before the bride & groom were to say their vows, Onder’s brother, Adam, very elegantly grabbed the pole he was standing by near the front of the alter and swung around it, quite daintily I might add, before hitting the floor and briefly passing out. Needless to say, he recovered very well, and ended up being the joke of the day from then onwards. Might I add, he ended up ripping his pants in the back! But the girls stiched it all back together again later. (poor Adam!)









This absolutely stunning, delicous whimsical cake was made by none other than Josie from Juicy Desserts! Her creations are so detailed. Love it!! 

The stunning table linens, head table backdrop and chair covers were provided by Under Wraps. They did such a wonderful job with coordinating the theme of the room at the beautiful Embassy Grand. Great work guys!


I had to sneak this one in here. When Leonora & Onder came in to choose their E-Session pics, they showed up at my door with this HUGE……..AND I MEAN HUGE……..jar of Nutella!! My eyes popped wide open! I just started laughing because I had never seen such an enormous amount of Nutella all contained in one jar before. I mean….I grew up on this stuff (and uh…ahem…kinda still am…) It’s 5 KG !!!!!!!!!!! I told them that this should last me a couple of hours (LOL) Look at it compared to this large apple……..crazy!!

Leonora + Onder: I’m so happy for you both. Leonora you were a real trooper putting up with your cold/fever on your wedding day until our shoot was done. You look just as beautiful when you’re sick! (lol) Hope you’re both having a wonderful honeymoon in Bora Bora.
Love ya,
Silvana ~
XOXO
