Chic Black and White Wedding at The Stunning Three Feathers Terrace

Eight years in the making and forever to go. 2024 marked a huge step in Nina and Chris’ longtime relationship and we couldn’t have been happier for them and their families! Their wedding day represented the uniting of two incredibly supportive families whose love for Nina and Chris was so touching to document.

Nina and Chris’ story began when when Chris moved to Canada to begin his professional hockey career. Nina had no idea that say yes to ice cream with the newest player on her city’s hockey team would lead to a whirlwind of travel and adventure while Chris played hockey in three different countries and two continents! After years of dating long distance, the hockey off season in 2022 was one they never will forget. Chris proposed to Nina while on holiday in the Greek Islands.

Having their immediate family spread all over the U.S. and Canada, they decided that they would plan for a ‘destination wedding’ here in Ontario. They choose the private estate venue, Three Feathers Terrace and had their out of town guests all stay at Friday Harbour Resort. Their week-long celebration started with a mini vacay of golf and dining at Friday Harbour and ended with their celebratory black-tie wedding day at Three Feathers Terrace.

Nina had clear in her mind her wedding day vision. She enlisted the help of The Event Design Co. to execute her chic and modern black and white design. The focus was on making the day a true experience for their guests, including a sketch artist and live music during cocktail hour.

We were so honoured to photograph their wedding day as they celebrated with each other and their fam. The happy tears and joyful embraces made their modern wedding day unforgettable.

We can’t wait to see where the future takes the Martenets!! xo

A Refined and Sophisticated Fall Wedding Day at Whistle Bear Golf Club

Adrienne and Logan’s modern and sophisticated wedding at The Whistle Bear Golf Club in Cambridge, Ontario was one of our favourite wedding designs of this season! We met Adrienne last summer as a bridesmaid for one of our incredible ‘23 couples. We couldn’t have been happier; therefore, when she reached out about her own engagement and wedding plans for this year!

With family and friends all over Canada and the U.S., Adrienne and Logan wanted their wedding to feel like a vacation weekend. Their wedding week began with everyone arriving to Toronto and being tourists as A+L toured them around their home city. The festivities continued with a celebratory welcome dinner and finished with their wedding day which felt like a reunion of all the special people in their lives in one room.

The early fall weather couldn’t have been more beautiful with sunny skies and ample natural light for their wedding ceremony in The Whistle Bear Golf Club’s Garden Chapel. As guests enjoyed cocktail hour, Adrienne and Logan headed to the club’s forest for photographs with their wedding party. After finishing up with their couple photos it was time to party!!! We loved how their people came to celebrate!!! It couldn’t have been more fun to see how happy their guests were to celebrate with them. We loved the energy all day long!

A London England Destination Engagement Session

Junilo and I were contacted by Geraldine and André in September 2017 in regards to their 2019 Toronto wedding.  The more we got to know each other over email, the more we realized how much the four of us had in common!!  They were fellow Torontonians who, just like us, had the unforgettable opportunity to live in Europe.  As in the case of Junilo, André followed 'his girl' abroad after Geraldine was accepted to study her Masters of Architecture in London, UK.  In addition to their wedding photography, they were really interested in having engagement photos done as well; however, due to the distance they thought that the only way to arrange things was to book a wedding photographer for their Toronto wedding and have a local photographer document their UK story in some of their favourite spots in London.  Coincidentally, Junilo and I were in the midst of booking a work trip to Spain for just around the end of the school year which was exactly when Geraldine thought they would like to book their engagement session! After working out the details of timing and logistics we agreed we would incorporate a quick stop in London on our way home from Spain. 

Once everything was confirmed, we literally spent months planning their engagement session!  We talked about how to incorporate their love of architecture into their photos, Geraldine prepared a walking map of their favourite spots in the city,  we worked out timing (to beat the crowds!) and even assisted in styling clothing and colours.  We really valued Geraldine's interest in making this an unforgettable experience for the two of them.  Her planning and effort really paid off because their session turned out beautifully. 

We’re counting the days till their 2019 Toronto summer wedding!
