Sharon & Alex’s Pre-Wedding Session

It’s been a busy time of the year at Curio Studios and we finally have time to catch up with the blog posts!

Clifton Li from Curio has known Sharon, the bride-to-be, since they were in elementary school together. He is more than ecstatic that she is getting married and that she has chosen Curio Studios to be her wedding photographer.

The pre-wedding shoot was done in the middle of winter so it was a good decision to have it indoors at the beautifully historic Graydon Hall Manor. We did a location scout prior to the actual shoot so that we could maximize efficiency, since it was only a two-hour session.

The manor, which emits a similar historic feeling as the famous Casa Loma, was constructed in 1936 and has 29 rooms, each decorated with a different lavish theme. The exterior of the manor, along with the terraces and garden walls, were built with the same multi-coloured fieldstone, giving the entire property a harmonious and grand aesthetic. The impressive courtyard features a lovely fountain, made from imported Indiana stone.

With many of the rooms and even the courtyard, the manor’s design places an importance on symmetry, and we tried to reflect that in our photos as well. The manor was a spectacular location to have the pre-wedding session because of the several unique settings, giving Sharon and Alex a nice variety of different images.
