Fun.
This was the word of the day for Christine and Derek’s wedding. If someone wasn’t having fun, then I’m not sure how anyone could! From the moment I got to Derek’s parent’s place in Tecumseh the laughter never stopped. Their wedding though almost didn’t happen…without going into details a crazy few emails and letters almost kibosh’d the entire day…but like water on a ducks back they took it in stride and kept smiling. No detail left unturned including the possibility of bad weather the newly renovated Restaurant 14 was booked for photos. Beautiful spot and if you want diner with a view – be sure to check it out! With time to spare and the weather on our side we went to Jackson park to continue with some creative photos. No Pokemon were spotted thankfully! The reception was down the street at the famous Caboto club; dinner was good as always. The timeline went so smoothly that DJ PJ got the dance floor rocking by 8pm till the wee hours of the morning I’m sure! ‘
Congrats Christine and Derek!
Cheers, Trevor

“Derek had been planning to propose for a really long time and had an elaborate scheme that included a photographer and a walk down by the water. Since I didn’t know anything about this, I kept on scheduling things over his plans. Eventually he had to get my mom involved so that he could have a night where it was just the two of us. We went to The Keg, had a great meal, and when the waitress was gone to find a dessert menu, he got down on one knee in the restaurant. I was very happy and our waitress was so thrilled I thought she was going to cry. The rest of the night was spent visiting and calling family and friends.”
