White Tent Summer Wedding At The Hidden Meadows a.k.a. Bee Spot | Maeve And Mac Tie The Knot Amidst Acres Of Wildflowers And Bees And Butterflies
There are so many beautiful places to take photographs at the Hidden Meadows (A.k.a. Bee Spot) that itās almost difficult, because you have to chooseā¦
Luckily owner Nadine pointed us to a place in the fields that was easy to access and I loved it because it had a generous smattering of pink echinacea! It was so beautiful to use that as the backdrop (and foreground) to the wedding party photos.
We didnāt take too long here, because it was bright and sunny and we didnāt want people to have to squint too long in the sun. We took a few photos and went back to enjoy cocktail hour.
Big Backyard White Tent Wedding | Denise & Kevin's Glorious Summer Wedding Celebration
Denise and Kevin are awesome, and Iāve already gushed about them and how cute they are together over here on their engagement blog.
But todayās all about their wedding.
Their gorgeous, GLORIOUS, backyard wedding, right in the back of their lush property, very near to where I live.
(So close, in fact, that at the end of the wedding, when I headed home and parked my car in my driveway, I could still hear the distant pumping of the music from the tail-end of their weddingā¦ and swallowed through a major case of FOMO haha.)
Spearhead Brewery Patio Wedding | Craig and Joanne's Awesome Summer Wedding
To be fair, they met about 30 years ago, but didnāt really connect until much later. They were married once before, and have older children (who were an amazing and important part of the wedding day!)ā¦
So for this wedding, they just wanted to make it really their own.
Nothing fussy or stuffy.
Thatās why they chose Spearhead Brewery for the venue.
Gothic-Inspired Halloween Wedding | Amber and Peteās Howe Island Ceremony & Wedding Reception at the Secret Garden Inn, Kingston
Since itās nearly Halloween, how about a Halloween Wedding blog?
Now, just because you decide to have your wedding on Halloween doesnāt mean you need to dress up like a ghoul, or involve any aspects of horror.
In fact, it could mean that youāre just into all things goth and vintage, and you want to wear a black dress and a red cape andā
Oops, Iām giving it all away before Iāve properly introduced the story!
Letās start from the beginning.
Amber and Pete are two cool kids in love. They are young, but their love is mature, like the kind you cultivate after years being together and weathering all sorts of shite.
McKenzie Pavilion Ceremony + Gorgeous Backyard Reception | Bailey and Chris's Early Summer Wedding
Bailey really wanted a queer-positive team to make her guests feel safe and seen and heard. Some of Baileyās most important people - her most loved ones - are queer. So, it was super important for her to have a photographer who not only knows their way around a camera on a wedding dayā¦ but also (and perhaps even more importantly!) makes everyone who Bailey and her partner Chris invited to their wedding feel welcome and loved.
And this is my jam.
Secret Winter Elopement At The Rosemount Inn | Val and Thomas Tied The Knot In Secret
Wow, do I have a good story for you today! (itās a bit different from usual, because the images youāll be seeing are actually the full spreads of the coupleās wedding album)
FINALLY Iām able to blog about this wedding, because Val & Thomas have revealed their surprise elopement to their family and friends. All in all, the news was received really well!
Some family might have been completely thrown off, and maybe even unhappy. When I had a spur of the moment elopement, my aunt wasnāt thrilled about missing it. But it was nothing personal - we didnāt omit her because sheās not special to us - she definitely is! We didnāt invite anyone because we literally had two days to plan, and it required an overseas tripā¦
A Stunning Forest Elopement With Only Close Family | Lu & Adrian's Rural Landsdowne Wedding
I was completely excited for this day, even though I didnāt know many of the details. All I really needed to know was that the colours would be gorgeous, all the important folks were attending, and that everything else would be just right.
The forest was adjacent to Luās parentsā place, in Landsdowne. It was a beautiful drive there, the trees were just starting to turn colour. I drove onto a forest county road lined with yellow and orange trees.
Eloping In Ontario | Rebecca and Dave Have A Magical Elopement Ceremony At The Hidden Meadows
A Beautiful Sunny Day For An Elopement In Tamworth, Ontario
We had planned to meet at the Hidden Meadows in Tamworth just a few minutes before 2pm. Rebecca would change into her dress and shoes quickly, and we would head to the fields.
I met up with them at about 1:50, just in time to see Rebecca and Dave pulling in.
Baby Cole was in the baby seat, and they took him out. He was very curious about this place, and sat patiently in his car seat as his parents unbuckled him and got him dressed for the elopement.
Best Quirky KISS Photos!
What can we say? The first kiss as newlyweds is an important part of the wedding ceremony. And as with dancing, there are many different kinds of kisses. We love to capture this important ritual, its another favourite part of any wedding.
Kissing helps couples bond, improves compatibility, and boosts happiness. It also improves your immune system, reduces stress, and lowers blood pressure; what could be better?
Why You Should Book Rehearsal Dinner Photography | Mike and Sarah Gather With Family The Day Before Their Wedding
They werenāt looking for anything stuffy and formal, mind you.
They just wanted the folks who were near and dear to their heart to be photographed all in a group!
This is why having me, their photographer, at their rehearsal dinner made so much sense.
We could take time to get a bunch of group photos on the Friday at the rehearsal, and reduce the amount of time we would need to take group photos on the Saturday, their actual wedding day.
Elopement at Finkles Shore Park, near Bath - food truck, cupcakes, and comedy for Ren & Dan
Theyāre super sweet together. They have the kind of mature love youād expect people who have been together for 30 years to have. She even wears his underwear! (Iāll admit, Iāve been known to do the same with my hubby. Menās undies are just so much more comfortable! Donāt judge!)
I knew they were awesome from the moment of our consultation together, a few months before the wedding. We laughed so hard. My cheeks hurt afterwards.
So yeah, their wedding day was going to be just as quirky and funny and unique as they are.
Best Quirky DANCE Photos
What can we say? We love it. It's our absolute favourite part of any wedding. Weddings are a celebration and we don't think there's any better way to celebrate than by having a dance party. We love the faces, the movements, the wild abandon, the romance, the groping - ALL OF IT! Bring itā¦
It's our bread and butter. Whether DJ, live band, or iPod on shuffle, we're IN!
Elopement, microwedding, minimony: what is the actual difference?
Letās talk about microweddings! Itās been a long year but if thereās one thing weāve learned from the couples weāve photographed, itās that humans have an incredible gift for resilience and being creative during times of limitation.
Microweddings could be the way people choose to get married this year, and maybe for a little while longer this decade, just until things calm down a bit and people feel safe. Or itāll be like the roaring 1920s and all the weddings are going to turn into 90ās style raves complete with glow sticks and love bombs.
A natural haven for nature elopementsš¦ Styled Shoot, Hidden Meadows, Tamworth, Ontario š¦ Tammy + Dion
Many couples yearn for a quiet and magical elopement, full of natureās wonder. And this is exactly what youāll find at the Hidden Meadows, any week between June and October.
Jessie and Jonathan: Toronto Wedding at Canvas Event Space
Does it seem like some of the BEST couples in the world meet at summer camp?
Well, these two did. And then they threw a huge bash to celebrate their love eight years later at Canvas Event venue in Toronto.
Prince Edward County Wedding in Summer under a big tree & a tent š Britni and Andrew: a tale of young love
When I hear people saying, āyouāre too young to know true loveā, I call BS.
I think Britni and Andrew know exactly what Iām talking about, because they fell in love in Grade 9 and have been in love EVER SINCE. And you guys, they are TOTALLY ENAMOURED with each other and itās awesome to behold. š
š "Engagement" Session a.k.a. Day In The Life Session At Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area | Sarah and Oliver Go For A Nature Hike
I have no idea! Honestly, I thought I already hadā¦ but then when I was trying to show these photos as an example of what kinds of things you could do on your āengagementā session (otherwise known as a day in the life session around these parts), I couldnāt find it.
So anyway, Sarah and Oliver already got married, and we were there to celebrate with them, and we even blogged it (yay us!)
So this story takes us even farther back in time, to a very warm and mosquito-y day in June of 2019, just a few months before their wedding took place.
