This was such a fun day with a great group of people!!! We loved being a part of Monica & Phil’s wedding day at the Portuguese Club of London! The weather was perfect for some beautiful portraits with bright blue skies and their reception was full of laughter & dancing!

Describe the vision/theme you had for your wedding in 5 words or less: simple, elegant, fun, and timeless.
What are you favorite memories of your wedding day?
Bride: Walking into the hall and seeing all of our family and friends supporting Phil and I to our song “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” – Franki Valli and the Four Seasons.
Groom: When I saw Monica walk down the aisle.
Best wedding related decision: Picking strong vendors that have a lot of experience that can take charge when you don’t have time.
Favourite detail: The picture frame that we made for people to take pictures. It was a replica from the Picture Frames in Montreal from when we got engaged.
Advice for future brides & grooms: Decide what the BIG THREE THINGS that are important to you are and set those as priorities, everything else is just gravy.
Would you change anything if you could do it all over again? It all goes by in such a haze, it would have been nice to have a few minutes with each other during the day to just soak in all that just happened and appreciate the amazing day that we spend so much time planning.
Best surprise of the day: Phil’s 3 uncles and his dad singing Mony Mony by Billy Idol on the microphone.
