Centennial Lodge Wedding | Crystal + Dustin

Occasionally, I don’t meet a bride until the day of her wedding. However, I’m not sure that I’ve ever met a bride AFTER her ceremony. Crystal and I e-mailed back and forth about her partner, Dustin, and their wedding for months prior to the big day but didn’t manage to meet in person until after she was a married lady. I knew just through her e-mails (and utmost concern for any dietary restrictions my second shooter and I may have) that she was absolutely lovely, and her wedding was no exception!

Between their sweet vows, family and friends who had travelled from all across the globe to witness the beginning of their marriage, and a yellow dress and a smile that lit up Queen’s Park – Crystal and Dustin’s wedding was one of the cheeriest weddings I’ve ever attended despite being on one of the rainiest days of the season. Crystal’s yellow wedding dress from Bliss Bridal and her incredible bouquet and succulent flower crown from Garden Party Flowers were complete show stoppers, and dinner catered by D Roti Shak was a cultural dining experience I will never forget! Huge thanks to my second shooter, Justin, for helping me with this wedding!
