With only a few weddings left this year, I’m really trying to take it all in. Luckily Julie and James were an extremely fun couple, so it made getting candid and sincere photos, pretty darn easy. My day started with Julie and the girls getting ready. I spent good hour with them just hanging out, documenting the time leading up to the ceremony.
Read MoreRebecca + Jason Wedding - The Chanterelle
I was back at the Chanterelle for another wedding, this time with Rebecca and Jason. This one was a lot bigger than my last one, and took place in the main ballroom. My day started about 30 minutes before the ceremony was planned to start. So that gave me a chance to spend some tie with Jason and the boys, as well as some of the closest family members.
Read MoreChar + Russell Wedding on the Lake
Char and Russell’s wedding day, for me at least, started at the Delta down at the Marina. I met Char and the rest of her bridal party and parents there. After some photos, we made our way down to Pier 2 where the rest of the guests were anxiously waiting, along with Russell. It would be hard to choose a more beautiful backdrop for an outdoor wedding.
Read MoreJennifer + Jason Wedding - Pass Lake
Even though Jennifer and Jason live in Southern Ontario, they decided to have their wedding here in Thunder Bay with family. The location, their parents’ camp out on Pass Lake. It was definitely one of the most beautiful settings I have had the pleasure of being at for a wedding. Luckily I was there from the afternoon to the late evening, which allowed me to spend some quality time with everyone.
Read MoreElena + Jonathan Wedding - Portuguese Association
It’s been quite a while since I last photographed a wedding at the Portuguese Association, so it felt good to be back. Elena and Jonathan decided to do an outdoor wedding which was awesome. The whole setup and decor was just perfect and once again, the weather cooperated as well. As soon as I arrived, I started capturing some of the details and people arriving. I could tell right away it was going to be a chill and fun wedding.
Read MoreLisa + Claudio Wedding - The Chanterelle
Lisa and Claudio finally got to celebrate their wedding earlier this week. After a few postponements, I’m so thankful it still happened like they wanted it to. It was a very small and intimate wedding at The Chanterelle, which ended up being perfect. The ceremony itself was short and sweet. Anyone who knows Lisa and Claudio, would not be surprised the attention to detail for everything about the wedding.
Read MoreCaylene + Tim Wedding
As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, backyard weddings are becoming the new normal, and also my favourite type of wedding. One of the main reasons why I enjoy photographing smaller weddings, is that you get to spend more time with the immediate family. Plus, they tend to be a lot more laid back, which lends itself to many more candid moments. Which I’m all about.
Read MoreLisa + Claudio Pre Wedding Celebration
Lisa and Claudio were supposed to get married this past weekend, but because of what is going on, it had to be pushed back until May. Well, that didn’t stop Lisa from still doing something special this weekend, which is exactly what she did. The result, I very small and intimate together with her closest friends. Seeing as how I’m her wedding photographer, she asked if I was interested in capturing an hour or so of the small celebration. I of course said yes!
Read MoreJacqueline + Jake Wedding
My last wedding of the year was such an amazing way to end the season. It was another intimate backyard ceremony, with close friends and relatives. As I mentioned before, if there is a bright side to the current restrictions, it’s that I get to do a lot more of these small weddings, which I absolutely love.
Read MoreKaylia + Emma Wedding - Kakabeka Falls
I am definitely seeing more and more small intimate weddings these days, and my latest one was with Kaylia and Emma at Kakabeka Falls. It was just them with a few of their family members. I was only there for the ceremony and some portraits afterwards, but it was more than enough time to capture a lot of great moments.
Read MoreCourtney + Braden Wedding - Stepstone Centre
One of my last weddings of the year took place earlier this month with Courtney and Braden. It was at, what I think, is one of the best spots in town, Stepstone Centre. The last time I had shot a wedding there was around 5 years ago. So I was very excited to do so again.
Read MoreJennifer + Carmine Wedding
One of my last weddings of the year took place at Valhalla Inn with Jennifer and Carmine. I was so excited to spend a day with such a beautiful and kind couple, and also the rest of their family and friends. The good thing about the times we are in now, is that weddings have no choice but to be smaller and much more intimate. I really do enjoy smaller weddings, I almost feel like I’m part of the family. My day started with the getting ready shots. It was a nice way to ease into the wedding day.
