Kees is from Holland and was planning on staying in Toronto only for a few months and then heading back to Holland once his work project was completed..he didn’t bother getting his Canadian driver’s license and was just renting an apartment in Toronto…
Then he met Ukrainian-born Anastasiya, who worked at the same accounting company in Toronto – after he met her, her was smitten and he decided to stay in Canada and see where love would take him.
Fast-forward to a sunny and warm day – September 16, 2012 when this gorgeous couple was married and celebrated into the evening with all of their international Friends and Family at the very elegant Rosewater Room in Toronto.
I’d like to thank the lovely Mary Clarke for helping me out with this amazing wedding.
Check out her stunning Pronovias gown…
Anastasiya was born to be a bride – she looks so natural all dolled up in her bridal finery…
How gorgeous is this bouquet? – There’s an interesting story behind it.
Anastasiya was told that the ranunclus that she wanted wasn’t in season for her bouquet so she special ordered them in from Equador and they arrived via FedEx just a few days before her wedding.
I’d say it was definitely worth it and the fragrance from the freesia was just heavenly! I think I need to find a freesia perfume in the near future…
You are such a gorgeous bride, Anastasiya…
This was such a funny and spontaneous moment, just as I was about to take the photo the guys decided to bolt…it made for a great photo!
LOVE this one…xoxo
Joanna Jordan, the electric harpist was so talented and added to the elegant atmosphere of the Rosewater Room.
The pretty wish tree that the bride created herself…
Check out the gorgeous cake by Patricia’s Cake Creations…
This was such a beautiful day for a beautiful couple, Anastasiya and Kees thank you so much for the absolute honour of photographing your special wedding day for both of you.
I wish you both all the best for the future and I hope you enjoy your 3-week Honeymoon in Italy! xoxo Corina
