There are couples you cross paths with once, and then there are couples who feel like they were meant to circle back into your life. Bindia and Jonathan are the latter. I first met Bindia at her sister’s wedding Sirini, where I was lucky enough to be the photographer. When I got the message that she was getting married and wanted me to photograph her own wedding day—I felt so honoured. This family is full of love, and capturing that love again for another big chapter was so special to me.
Bindia and Jonathan’s wedding day at Graydon Hall Manor was one of those unforgettable ones. You could feel the thought and care that went into every single detail—crafted not just for themselves, but for the 150 guests they invited to share their joy. This was not a wedding about being the center of attention. It was about giving everyone who attended a magical, heartfelt experience.
From the very beginning, this couple knew they wanted an outdoor ceremony and reception. Even before the pandemic made outdoor events more of a norm, this was their vision. And Graydon Hall Manor couldn’t have been a more perfect backdrop. The elegant gardens, the timeless architecture, and that romantic Toronto summer light—it all came together like it was made for them.
But what really mattered to them was the experience. They’re both major foodies, and the menu wasn’t just important—it was essential. Every course was thoughtfully curated in partnership with the venue, designed to flow beautifully from one to the next. And the bar? Oh, they knew exactly what they were doing. A premium open bar was their way of making sure people felt celebrated, relaxed, and ready to party after years of quarantine and isolation. And let me tell you—people did just that.
Every detail of the day felt personal and intentional. From the floral design to the way the tables were laid out, everything worked in harmony. The light during golden hour at Graydon Hall was pure magic, and we made the most of it with some romantic portraits tucked in the gardens. The photos from that set feel like a movie—soft, cinematic, and full of intimacy. Just the two of them, wrapped up in the moment.
But just as special were the photos of Bindia and Jonathan surrounded by their people—laughing with old friends, dancing under the stars, soaking in the joy of being together in one place. Those are the images that hold feeling, the kind you want to frame and relive again and again.
What made this wedding even more special for me was getting to witness Bindia again, now in her own spotlight. Watching her smile at Jonathan during the ceremony, hugging her sister (who introduced me to this beautiful family in the first place), and knowing how full-circle this all was—it was emotional in the best way.
To Bindia and Jonathan: thank you for inviting me into your story. Thank you for trusting me to capture your love, your people, and the celebration that felt like such a true reflection of who you are. Your wedding was elegant, joyful, and full of heart. Just like the two of you.
