Hello everyone and Happy New Year!

Welcome to another edition of my blog post! This time I am featuring the beautiful wedding of Akira and Tolbert.

If you follow my blog posts you will probably remember their engagement shoot which was published in black Bride Magazine. You can see that HERE!

In contrast to the bleak winter days we are currently having in the GTA, it was a beautiful but super hot summer day during this wedding. Though at times the shade offered lovely coverage and the summer breeze passing by offered one of the nicest feelings complementing the gorgeous wedding.

The decor was absolutely fabulous! With stunning shades of blue and hints of purple. Luxe Soiree and Zuhoor Designs really made the ceremony and reception spaces shine bringing the couple’s vision to life!

The heartfelt ceremony was stunning and I especially loved the moments when the wedding party walked down the aisle. The grounds at deer creek golf club are iconic and it made for such a beautiful backdrop.

When it came to the reception wow did everyone bring out their enthusiasm and dancing shoes! The couple and their friends also entertained the crowd with a choreographed dance mix that featured Afrobeats and Caribbean music (an homage to the couple’s Ghanaian, Nigerian and Grenadian roots), and let me tell you it was so good that it went viral on instagram! Dj KingBizzy kept the tunes spinning all night till guests had their dancing fill. Overall a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!
