Downtown Winter Elopement | Mississauga, Ontario Weddings
Love knows no distance, and N & A are absolute proof of that! With both sides of the family flying in from the UK and USA, they hosted the most stunning private ceremony in downtown Mississauga. Located on the 12th floor of the Civic Centre, C Banquets provided a cityscape view lighting the ceremony with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows. The cherry on top was the white floral pieces designed by Little Poppy Florals, such an incredible addition to the decor!
Intimate Ontario Summer Wedding | Tavistock Mennonite Church
Surrounded by close family and friends, this stunning wedding day was one to remember. As they got ready at home, J had a gift waiting for C - a wedding portrait with their adorable golden retriever pup, Luna (who also made an appearance for photos)! After a gorgeous ceremony at the Tavistock Mennonite Church, we headed to a friend’s backyard for more photos. And like any good Tavistock wedding, followed it up with dinner at Quehl’s Restaurant and Catering! After rescheduling due to gathering restrictions, this day turned out to be simply magical.
Fall Couple’s Session | Wildwood Conservation Area St. Mary’s, Ontario
Nothing like the perfect fall day to bring out some Taylor Swift inspired posing - Wildwood Conservation Area never disappoints! These two provided the perfect example of casual and complimentary outfits, straight out of an advertisement. Crisp fall weather is one of the ideal times for photos and allows for layering (my favourite)! Overcast days also make for earlier shoots, but you’ll be home before the sun sets to warm back up.
Living Room Elopement | Downtown Stratford, Ontario Wedding
This at-home wedding was hands-down one of the sweetest days I’ve ever witnessed. Pandemic weddings are hard - between ever changing rules on gathering, venues closing and keeping everyone safe. These two chose the comfort of their living room with only close family to be married, and it was absolutely perfect! A few special spots near the Avon River were the perfect backdrop for their wedding portraits; Gallery Stratford, Tom Patterson Island and the brand new Tom Patterson Theatre to name a few. Another gorgeous October wedding for the books!
Fall Couple’s Session | Shakespeare Pond Conservation Area Stratford, Ontario
I love a sunny session as much as the next photographer, but something about stormy weather just adds to a shoot! This may have set a new record for high speed photography as we wanted to beat the incoming thunderstorm - but the running around made it even more fun! That’s why we’re hesitant to reschedule for weather, this unpredictable day gave us the 20 minutes we needed complete with a moody sky. Never a dull moment at Shakespeare Pond!
Christmas Minis 2021 | Kroes Family Tree Farm Stratford, Ontario
Another year of shivering down, we managed to (mostly) avoid the rain and document some Christmas spirit! Our lovely hosts, the Kroes Family, provided the perfect backdrop complete with a bonfire. Thank you so much to everyone who came out this year, we’ll be back again next winter for more festive fun! Check out Kroes Christmas Trees, just outside of Stratford for your next family tree.
