Josemari & Elaine

A wedding at Scarborough, ON

Josemari and Elaine were married on a bright winter day in Scarborough, in a church lined with stained glass. Elaine wore a long cathedral veil, Josemari a classic barong, and their families filled the pews.

Chapter I

At the altar

They sat side by side beneath the stained glass, listening, praying and stealing a glance at each other now and then.

Chapter II

Promises

Hands raised for the blessing, heads bowed for the prayers. A Filipino Catholic ceremony carries a lot of ritual, and they moved through every moment of it together.

Chapter III

Husband and wife

Walking back down the aisle as a married couple, the whole church came alive. Later, a quiet moment just for the rings.

Chapter IV

Winter light

Afterwards we found a bright, modern space with tall windows and snow outside. Elaine's veil ran the length of the floor, and the light did the rest.
