Side Bar
Do you have an introvert and extrovert personality? At weddings, couples can go either or. Some are social butterflies who love getting their photos taken. Others would much rather fill out the paperwork without being the center of attention. I’m personally the latter. I know, I know. As a wedding photographer, I really need to be energetic and outgoing type. And I can make it happen, when I need to. But when I get fellow introverts as wedding couples, I enjoy the event a lot more. So for all those couples who dread walking down the aisle and having everyone looking at you… check out this wedding at Side Bar. It’s a great example of how the wedding obligations can be simplified. Thus leaving you with a lot more time to enjoy yourself.
All the events of this wedding involving guests happened at Side Bar in Toronto. They had an indoor ceremony within this brewery. But the entire first half of the day was spent alone. The bride getting ready with her hair/makeup team. And the groom meeting us Todmorden Mills for the first look. We did their portraits at Riverdale Park and along the Danforth. It was a partially rainy day. But we were able to work around it with umbrellas.
Reception
After their Civil ceremony, we spent maybe half and hour on their family and personal portraits around Side Bar. Beyond that, it was just one big party. They hadn’t seen many of their guests for the last year. So their priority was mingling with them, over doing the love-e dove-e stuff elsewhere. Hey, I love this kind of setup. Candid photography is my specialty. I love going into stealth mode and capturing people without anyone noticing.
