Claire + Nicholas are Married
Claire and Nicholas’ wedding took place on a warm and sunny July day…and what better way to start than with a swim! I joined Claire and Nicholas at Nicholas’ secret childhood swimming hole, where they enjoyed some peaceful alone time before the activities of the day took over.
While Nicholas returned to his family home to get ready…
…Claire joined her family and bridesmaids at her suite in the Weston. Once ready, she was off to the Notre Dame Basilica for their ceremony in an English-style cab.
The ceremony at the Notre Dame Basilica was beautiful.
A bagpiper lead them and their guests from the Notre Dame Basilica to the National Arts Centre, where cocktails were waiting.
Dinner and dancing followed, including a speech by the best man that was one of the greatest I have heard in all the years I have been photographing weddings.
Once the formal parts of the reception were over, we snuck outside for some nightime portraits before heading back in to party with their guests.
I had a ton of fun with you both, and wish you all the best!

- Krista and Steve wrote “Lovely photos!! Question: are you up in a tree taking the photos of them in the water?!”
- Donna wrote “Beautiful job. What a cute couple - she has such a great smile! I really love your creativity in the last two in particular.”
- Claire & Nicholas wrote “Thank you! We love them too. Mike should really tout his athleticism ("Mike Dickson: the photographer with all the angles")--he was everywhere that day!”
Following the service, we messed around downtown and then headed to Strathmere for the reception. Whew!
