Unionville Wedding Photography | Anne & Joel's Wedding in Markham
Updated: 2 days ago
Wedding Photography Around Unionville, Ontario
Unionville is one of the most picturesque areas in Markham for wedding photography, and Anne and Joel's wedding gave us the perfect opportunity to explore some beautiful outdoor locations in the area.
Their wedding day took us through Whitchurch-Stouffville and Markham, beginning with a ceremony at Canadian Mar Thoma Church, followed by an outdoor portrait session around Unionville and an evening reception at Crystal Fountain Event Venue.
With a wedding day that ran behind schedule, multiple locations to work around and a reception filled with incredible family performances, this was a perfect example of why having an experienced wedding photography and videography team matters.
Here's a closer look at Anne and Joel's wedding day, including some of the locations and moments that made it memorable.
Wedding Morning Preparations: Capturing Both Sides
Our coverage of Anne and Joel's wedding began earlier in the morning, with our photography and videography team splitting coverage between two separate homes to capture both sides of the wedding preparations.
From the finishing touches, getting-ready moments and candid interactions with family to all the little details leading up to the ceremony, we made sure both sides of the story were documented.
Having both photography and video coverage from the start meant nothing important was missed. While one part of our team captured the excitement and anticipation at one home, the other documented the moments unfolding at the second location.
These morning preparations are an important part of the wedding story, giving couples a chance to look back at everything that happened before they even arrived at the ceremony.
One thing worth knowing about wedding photography in Unionville is that certain designated locations, including sections of Main Street Unionville, require photography permits through the City of Markham.
Rather than automatically adding another expense to the couple's wedding day, we had already scouted alternative locations around the area where we could create beautiful photographs without requiring those designated-location permits.
This is something that comes with experience. Knowing where to go, understanding the surroundings and having a creative eye for locations can make a huge difference in the final photographs.
We don't believe beautiful wedding photography should depend on having the most expensive backdrop or paying for the most popular photo location. It's about knowing how to use the environment, finding great light, composing the shot and making the couple feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Anne and Joel's Unionville photo session gave us the opportunity to capture a great mix of natural, creative and romantic portraits while keeping the day moving.
A Canadian Mar Thoma Church Wedding in Stouffville
Before making our way to Unionville, Anne and Joel celebrated their wedding ceremony at Canadian Mar Thoma Church, located at 159 Sandiford Drive in Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario.
The ceremony was an important part of the day, bringing together family and friends to witness the couple exchange their vows and begin this next chapter together.
Church weddings also require a thoughtful approach to photography and videography. There are important moments happening throughout the ceremony, from the couple's expressions to the reactions of family members, and our team works together to document these moments without getting in the way.
As the wedding day later than anticipated, we had to make due with a shorter park photo session.
This is something couples don't always consider when planning their wedding photography schedule. Ceremonies can run late, formalities can take longer than expected and travel between locations can eat into the time originally set aside for portraits.
That's why experience matters.
Even with the delayed schedule, our team found a way to make the Unionville portrait session happen without compromising the experience or the quality of the photographs.
Having locations scouted in advance and knowing how to adapt on the fly allowed us to keep things moving while still delivering the creative portraits Anne and Joel wanted.
Wedding Photography & Videography That Captures the Entire Day
A wedding gallery is more than a collection of beautiful portraits. It's a record of the people, emotions, details and experiences that make each wedding unique.
For Anne and Joel, we delivered a professionally edited photography gallery containing well over 1,000 images, alongside a cinematic wedding film they can revisit for years to come.
From their ceremony in Whitchurch-Stouffville to their outdoor wedding portraits around Unionville and their reception at Crystal Fountain in Markham, we wanted to make sure every important part of the day was represented.
There's also a tremendous amount of work that happens after the wedding itself. Reviewing footage, selecting photographs, editing and putting together a finished film and gallery takes hours of dedicated work behind the scenes.
At VidMedia, our approach is to capture the full experience, not just the perfectly planned moments.
Because years from now, it's not just the portraits you'll want to look back on. It's the speeches, the reactions, the performances, the people and all those little moments that made the day yours.
Congratulations, Anne and Joel! It was a pleasure being part of your wedding celebration.
Crystal Fountain Event Venue Wedding Reception in Markham
After their ceremony and outdoor portraits, the celebrations continued at Crystal Fountain Event Venue in Markham.
Crystal Fountain provided the setting for an evening filled with family, friends, speeches, grand entrances and plenty of entertainment.
The reception unfolded with all the traditional wedding moments, but one of the highlights was seeing family members and guests take to the dance floor for their own performances.
These are some of the moments we love documenting as wedding photographers and videographers. They're personal, unexpected and often become some of the most memorable parts of the entire day.
Our team captured the grand entrance, heartfelt speeches, candid interactions and the performances that brought everyone together on the dance floor.
We wrapped up our coverage with those lively performances, bringing Anne and Joel's wedding day to a close.
