Tanya + Greg :: The Ceremony, The Portraits, The Amazing Reception!

I blogged Tanya + Greg’s getting-ready images yesterday, and couldn’t wait to show you the rest of this gorgeous wedding.  If you missed it yesterday, check out their prep images here, otherwise feast your eyes on their fabulous Beach ceremony, their portraits at the Brickworks, and the reception at Balzac’s Cafe.

Tanya + Greg wanted an intimate ceremony with just a few friends and family members in attendance.  Beachers themselves, they decided to hold their ceremony at the gazebo at Kew Gardens Park.  A risky choice for October in Toronto, but the day was lovely, and the leaves were breath taking.

I love Tanya + her enthusiasm for life.  Doesn’t she just glow?

We hastily made our way to the Don Valley Brickworks after the ceremony to squeeze in a few portraits before it got too cold.  Tanya wore a vintage fur stole to keep her warm.  Her vintage-inspired look worked perfectly with her hair and make up by Ivy Lam.  Basically, she worked it!

Apres portraits, we arrived at our final destination :: Balzac’s Cafe in the Distillery District (also known as My Mothership.  I spend more time at Balzac’s than I should.  The staff know my order and start making it when I walk in the door.  Clearly I have a problem.)  I hadn’t shot at Balzac’s before, but it is a STUNNING venue for an intimate reception.
