Big Gay wedding on top of the world! - Rowell Photography

That’s right we had the privilege of shooting 3 awesome weddings on top of the C.N Tower in Toronto Ontario, one of the world’s tallest buildings. The 3 weddings were sponsored by Proud FM of Toronto, and the 3 couples Richard & Sam, Lee & Paulo, and Margarita & Lora had to enter a contest to win their Free wedding on top of the world, and were married on June 22nd 2008 by Reverend Dr. Brent Hawkes of the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto, who has been performing gay and lesbian weddings since day go, and even made me tear up 3 times (yes 3 times) with his sermon. He really is an amazing reverend and the most decorated person we have had the pleasure of meeting.

Now I don’t want to write a novel here since we have so many amazing photos to show you all and i would really like to get to it, but I do want to say a few words. Firstly to our new friends Sam, Richard, Lee, Paulo, Margarita and Lora CONGRATULATIONS!!

We hope you all had an amazing night, and great honeymoons. Even though we only spent limited time with you all it wasn’t hard to see the love you have for each other, you are all truly inspirational and exactly the type of love stories we are passionate about capturing. Each and everyone of your weddings was such a great time, running around the C.N Tower going up and down the elevators all night was an adrenaline rush and we are so honored that we were chosen to share in your special day. We wish we could say that we would do it again, but seriously our feet were killing us by the end of the night, 3 wedding in one night is a ton of work, and I think we owe a lot to Justin Ruttan of Cherish Event Management for inviting us to be apart of such an amazing event, and throwing 3 beautiful weddings. We have worked with Justin earlier this year on the Burgin Wedding, and we can’t wait to work with you again. So Justin even though our feet were killing us, we hope you will ask us to help you out next year to!
Also the accommodating staff at the C.N Tower who ushered us to the head of the very long tourist lines, gave us access to private elevators when they could and kept us all in touch via walkie talkie all night long.
To everyone Thank you!

So without further adieu, here are some of our favorites from the night.

Cheers
& Ryan
