They Didn’t Grow Up Together by Accident — Jinwei & Leyuan’s Knox College Wedding
Some love stories begin with a spark. Others begin so quietly that no one realizes, at first, how far they will go.
This one began in childhood.
On April 29, 2023, at *Knox College* in Toronto, they stood together at the altar after 25 years of knowing each other and 7 years of building a life side by side. Somewhere between elementary school, growing up, and creating memories around the world, they kept finding their way back to each other.
When we photographed their pre-wedding session at our studio, they shared a line that stayed with us long after the day ended: *“From Renren to QQ to WeChat, time and communication technology kept moving forward, and we’re so happy that we didn’t lose each other along the way.”*
That is the kind of sentence that tells you everything.
Not because it is dramatic. But because it is true.
A Knox College wedding that felt rooted, not rushed

“The ORCHID team is amazing! Everyone is talented, professional and very kind. It felt like we were posting and walking with family! The process was seamless from the inquiry, first meeting, everyday communications, photographer meeting, event lead up and the big day! We are so happy that we chose them to be a part of our special day. I hope to be able to work with them again in the future!”
