Every so often I meet a couple that can actually be described in one word. While shooting Monica and Eric’s wedding the word that was constantly in my mind was “joyful”. With their families, with their friends, and especially with each other, these two never stop smiling and it’s very contagious.

After their ceremony at St Marys Coptic Orthodox Church, we headed downtown for photos, then to the Hilton Lac Leamy for more photos and the reception. See my favorites from the day below…
