Photographing Iain & Aman’s wedding day was legendary in a twofold way. Two wineries, two exquisite outfits, two ceremonies, two cultures, two families coming together, two people in love. From start to finish, the day was saturated with traditions, unity, and respect.
Our day with Iain and Aman started at Sprucewood Estate Winery. Iain proudly wore his grandfather’s Sporran which has been in their family since WWII. He was looking mighty dapper in his Scottish kilt and Cameron of Erracht Tartan. Aman wore a traditional Indian Lengha that weighed nearly 30 lbs, and was fully embroidered with hand stitched crystals of rust gold and red. She looked insanely gorgeous!
As mentioned above, there were two ceremonies that day. One was a traditional Sikh ceremony, the other a civil Canadian ceremony. Both were unique and lovely in their own ways. Soon after, we did some photos of the wedding party on the charming grounds of Sprucewood.
The couple decided to do their reception at Mastronardi Estate Winery, so we thought it fitting to continue on with our photos of the wedding party there (after they changed into their second outfits). This time around, Iain changed into a snazzy black Hugo Boss suit with a champagne vest and tie. Aman swapped out her Lengha for a fitted lace gown from It’s Your Day Bridal. The bridesmaids also changed into Saris. Both of their beautiful outfits came straight from India.
Their reception was speckled with red and gold. They adorned the tables with Moroccan lanterns and brightly coloured flowers. The Mastronardi team did a fantastic job working with the Scottish-Sikh fusion feel of the day. The music selection was on point, and everyone partied!
Iain & Aman, thank you for trusting us to document and participate in such an immensely special day! Your wedding was one of the most spectacular we’ve ever been a part of. Congratulations on the lifetime of happiness ahead!
