Some weddings leave you with a feeling that lingers long after the night is over—Asli and Egemen’s wedding in Toronto was one of those. As a wedding photographer, I always look for the unique, the raw, the beautiful moments that tell a couple’s story. Their wedding was overflowing with love, laughter, and a deep sense of belonging, proving that home is where your people are.
There was this undeniable energy—where every hug, every song, and every laugh adds to something bigger.
Unlike many Western weddings, Asli and Egemen got ready together, sharing quiet, excited moments before walking down the aisle side by side. It was beautiful to witness—an unspoken promise that they are in this together, every step of the way.
A close friend played the piano as they made their way to the ceremony, setting the tone. Though their families were back home in Turkey, their love was anything but distant, Asli and Egemen were surrounded by their chosen family—dear friends who filled the day with everything that is good.
Throughout the night, as the music played and everyone sang their hearts out, it all just made sense. The way they held each other, the way the music brought them together, the way love flowed through the room—it was an unforgettable experience, not just for them, but for everyone lucky enough to witness it.
The feeling that this was exactly how it was meant to be.
I watched as their closest friends surrounded them with so much love. The air was filled with classic Turkish songs, laughter echoed across the room, and the dance floor? Absolutely unstoppable.
Even though half the conversations I overheard were in Turkish, I never once felt like an outsider. That’s the magic of Asli and Egemen—their warmth, their generosity, the way they make everyone feel at home.
Their wedding was a reminder that love isn’t just about two people—it’s about the people who stand by you, who celebrate you, who make life richer.
Asli and Egemen, I’m beyond grateful to have captured your day. Thank you for letting me witness the love that surrounds you and for making me feel like part of the family. Wishing you both a lifetime of music, laughter, and endless adventure together.
I hope you enjoy this selection of favourites from your night:
