Sally & Ozal – Mississauga Convention Centre Wedding
This year has been full of awesome events. Although they are all special to us, two weddings stood out for obvious reasons. One was my sister’s wedding that we photographed in August and this one. I have known Sally since she was 8 years old…That’s right 8… That’s when I started dating her super awesome sister, who is now my super awesome wife. To say I have known Sally all of her life is a stretch, but it is pretty close. Also for both or our sakes we will feel old to actually mention that it has been almost 19 years.
I met Ozal on October 9, 2010. I know what your thinking, WOW!! he must have made a real impression for you to remember the date. Not Really. That was another sister in laws wedding. But I knew he was nervous so I was extra hard on him because it’s only fair. But in all fairness he is a very cool guy and awesome person. Now to the wedding day…I’m tearing up over here.
There was a 5am wake up call for all of us. Although from what I hear most people did not sleep the night before because of all the excitement. We started with Ozal at 7am and he was wide awake. A high five goes to coffee for being the wake up call we needed. I kid you not that Tim’s 10 to go was with us all day and for some reason always full. Then we headed to my father in laws house for the bride’s shoot and it was surreal. I mean we go there all the time for regular things but this may be a little different. Not for him though, I was photographer and valet for the day…Don’t ask.
An 11am ceremony is a great way for you to have multiple hours for image making afterwards. But an early ceremony does not mean the nerves are less in any way. We managed to get all the of the bridal party there on time, including 2 ring boys and 3 flower girls. After the ceremony we all jumped into to the party bus and headed to PAMA for what turned into an afternoon of awesome image making for Sally and Ozal. We even managed to get in a nap or four in between the shoot and coffee run. After our nap we partied well into the night at MCC. At final count I was up for a grand total of 20 hours, minus a nap.
