Elizabeth & Heath | Wedding | Toronto

Traveling from Canada to New Zealand and back and then to Europe and back again, Heath and Elizabeth, madly in love, chased each other around the globe.

To read more about their love story, check out their engagement photos here http://samobeid.com/?p=252

Spanning two major suburbs and fifteen hours, this is probably the longest wedding that I have shot from start to finish, but it was definitely WELL WORTH IT! I think the photos speak for themselves, but I must say, this was a beautiful wedding and Heath and Elizabeth were great to work with.

I started the day by shooting both Elizabeth and Heath getting ready. Since Heath was getting ready in Etobicoke, Elizabeth was in Mississauga and I was the sole photographer, it took some crafty coordinating and a little rushing around. I shot Heath first and then quickly headed to Mississauga to capture the bride.

The church ceremony was held at St. Monica’s near Yonge and Eglington. The reception, dinner and dancing followed at The Old Mill in Etobicoke.

I’ve posted a lot of photos below, more than I would usually post. Since so many of Heath’s family and friends travelled all the way from New Zealand I wanted to make sure they got to see the entire wedding story.

Elizabeth and Heath – Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer (and for the kind plug during your speech) . You and your wedding party were so much fun and I appreciate your willingness during the formals despite the rush! I wish you all the very best in the years to come.
























































…and that’s the END…..literally
