jen & justin / a toronto distillery district wedding at archeo

jen & justin actually met while he was here on holiday from australia... what started as a vacation soon turned into eight years, and several renewed visas!justin's aussie accent & positive outlook on life combined with jen's love & care for those around her stole our hearts. they were just so happy, & it was just very sweet and affirming to watch them take in their wedding day. their day celebrating at one of our favourite spots in toronto, archeo restaurant in the distillery district, remains in our memories of one of the most fun and genuine. everyone just had a great time with great food, relaxing, catching up with old friends and tons of laughs. exactly as you hope it will be.here are a few moments captured from their day last summer... filled with string lights, a warm summer evening, & lots of smiles.

laura + fraser get married | an archeo restaurant toronto wedding

at laura + fraser's wedding, laura's parents got up to say their speech and her dad told the room about a time when she was much younger and they were in the car driving home from his father's funeral. he told the room about how laura leaned forward from the back seat of the car and put her hand on his shoulder. he told the room a line from a song about one of those red wagons you pull kids around in, and the line goes 'you pull for me and i'll pull for you' and he's in tears as he says it and laura + fraser are in tears and the whole room is in tears and i think it's because we all kind of realize that there will always be times when we'll need somebody and there will always be times when we can be somebody to someone else.. and you never really know what role you're going to find yourself in at any given moment. and deeper down, you know it all stands on a knife's edge. and that we're pretty lucky that we get to enjoy the good times like these. i think it also makes us thankful that we are together and today we get to know the taste of laughter.here's a little video we made of the pretty special day we got to document for these two, if you'd like to see the full story.laura + fraser, we're pretty thankful for you. xtoronto, canada // may 2013
