Well I must be honest here I was very nervous to shoot this wedding!! Even though I know Anthony and his family, I was nervous. Not only have I never shot a gay wedding… I had never been to a gay wedding. But as soon as I arrived at Anthony’s house and started chatting with Ken (who also had never been to a gay wedding) I was put at ease. First of all Ken is a doll! And Anthony is amazing! Their love for each other would put anyone at ease. And so I just started shooting. The way I would shoot any couple at any wedding. This was one classy wedding! It was at the Carlu in Toronto! Gorgeous!!!! Here is a bit of history from the Carlu’s website:
“In 1930, the Eaton’s department store chain, at the time Canada’s dominant retailer, opened “Eaton’s College Street”, an imposing Art Deco store at the intersection of Yonge Street and College Street. The matriarch of the Eaton family, Lady Flora McCrea Eaton, was a member of Eaton’s Board of Directors, and the Eaton’s restaurants were one of her responsibilities. She retained the noted French architect Jacques Carlu to design the seventh floor of the edifice, which was to contain the 1300-seat Eaton Auditorium, the Round Room restaurant, lounges and a private dining room. All of the facilities were to be connected by a long foyer, designed in the style of the ocean liners of the day. Between 1931-1965 the theatre was home to the Eaton Operatic Society.”
I really wanted to capture the history and the feeling of this place. This is the room where they had the ceremony.
And this is Anthony and Ken!
And this is the round room! Where they had the reception.
Rings!
Now since there was no bride I was feeling a bit of withdrawal because I had no gown or shoes to shoot!! But no worries. Anthony has amazing taste and he had his sisters and best friend in the most gorgeous gowns!! and shoes 
Everything was so beautifully done! I really felt like I was at a 1930′s wedding!
This is Anthony’s gorgeous sister Sarah and my dear friend Anna who’s wedding I will be doing in February 2012 in Mexico.. yeehaw!!
Congratulations Anthony and Ken!! Ken when your brothers got up and did there speeches I was crying so hopefully the pictures of that are clear since I was shooting through tears
