My last wedding of 2019 took place at Fort William Historical Park. I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful location to end such an amazing year. Once I arrived I met up with Brandon and some of the wedding party at the main entrance. We hopped on the shuttle bus that eventually took us to the park, which is where everything was taking place. Once we got there, Anna arrived, and we made our way in. After gathering everyone in the wedding party and the immediate family, we continued on and photographed all the portraits.
There is no better place in Thunder Bay to photograph wedding photos than this location. There are endless backdrops and an immense amount of character and history. Plus, Brandon and Anna looked the park. It was honestly one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever had the pleasure of covering.
We spent the next hour or so wandering around the park and stopping at various locations doing bridal party photos as well as family ones as well. It was super casual, and the weather was actually quite mild for the middle of the winter. This portion of the day actually went by super fast. I could have easily spent another 2 hours photographing Brandon and Anna but the ceremony was starting shortly.
The ceremony and reception took place in the Canot du Nord building right by the front gate. It was fairly small and intimate wedding. Throughout the ceremony and reception and just did my thing, capturing moments throughout. I also made sure to continue to get family portraits on request. We even went outside just after sunset to get some portraits with friends and family. The lighting was absolutely perfect.
I stayed just until the speeches were done, but that was more than enough time to tell their story through my eyes. I’m very excited for yet another year of weddings, and I hope it’s even better than 2019!
