Pam and Andrew: Married!

ByJay

the meeting house wedding

I meet them separately in the morning and Andrew and Pam are both relaxed and friendly.   Even during the busy schedule of a full wedding day, I always have a sense from both of them that they are thinking of the people around them.  Caring for and serving others is just normal for them.

They had a beautiful, meaningful ceremony surrounded by sincere, good hearted friends and family at the Meeting House in Oakville.   They had the warm ambiance of a candle-lit ceremony and this great mood of friendliness and easy-going celebration.  I was not surprised in the least to experience this open, welcoming community of people that I first met at Jen and Jeff’s wedding.

A foot washing as part of their ceremony.  The same attitude of service to others and to each other that Jesus showed when he washed the feet of others:

Kwan and Mirette met and became friends at UW’s co-op residence.  There seemed to be more interest than just friendship from both sides but then, it’s hard to read people’s minds.  Months passed, when Mirette had no idea how important she was to Kwan.  …… and when Kwan thought Mirette wasn’t interested (when he meant…

No kidding,  ….. and it’s not photoshop.  A real rainbow made an appearance at Grace and Deb’s wedding reception.  How perfect!   This wasn’t the highlight of the wedding though.   This was a very emotional event.  The ceremony took place at the Metropolitan Community Church in Toronto.  Wedding guests were clearly moved  …. it was like…

Charlotte and Alex

Charlotte was determined in her late teens not to be married to someone from her own school. Alex changed her mind. These two have been married for 2 years. Their closeness and friendship are like they were just wed last month. The sense of fun, play and enjoyment these two big kids radiate was drawing…

Jen and Jeff: engaged

ByJay

2 thoughtful, articulate people.   ….. who didn’t need to be articulate to make a very clear impression on me.  2 of the strongest non-verbal communicators I have ever met.  After talking with them only a short few minutes, I had an unusually strong sense of Jen’s generosity and personable spirit;  of Jeff’s respect for others…

  1. Hi Jay,

    It truly was a pleasure meeting you at this wedding. It was an easy decision to add you on the referral list on our website!!Not only do you take fantastic pictures, but you helped this couple to have an enjoyable stressfree experience in the process!! Sure hope I get the opprotunity to work along side of you for another event!

    Ps.Thanks for the pictures you took of the Venue while the room was empty. I know they are boring shots for a photographer but you even made empty look great:-) This will be great for future clients.I have them up on our website already!

  2. Great job Jay!!! Your pictures really captured the mood, atmosphere, and joy that was all around this wedding. Pam and Andrew look fantastic and from being there in person we feel you captured them honestly and naturally. We love it that others are getting to know what we know – that you ROCK!
    Love Jen and Jeff
