It was truly an honour to be asked to take photos of a special wedding for a young couple. The groom has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, given only months left to live at the young age of 27.

Needless to say I agreed without hesitation at the amazing opportunity to capture this special occasion.

It was one of the first beautiful and sunny afternoons of 2015 on Saturday, April 11th and I was lucky to have my teammate, James Shay, help me out.

The team at Liberty Group Entertainment had only a few days to put the whole wedding together but they bent over backwards with a smile on their faces, demonstrating what happens when a hospitality company unites for a common goal.

The wedding venue was kept a secret and the couple arrived at Casa Loma surprised.

“This should be the most beautiful day of a girl’s life and she knows it’s going to be ended shortly with her husband,” Jennifer’s mom told TorStar News Service.

When I first saw this young Solomon Chau in person that afternoon, he was all smiles, laughs and full of energy.
