Intimate Backyard Wedding: Scarlett + Joe

Scarlett and Joe met in 2010, but it would be years of friendship before they went on their first date. A couple of years after that, Joe asked Scarlett if she would be his partner for life and she happily said yes.

Their wedding was held at Scarlett’s mom’s beautiful backyard with huge trees overlooking a field. Scarlett’s mom planted sunflowers for the wedding which bloomed at exactly the right time.

Though it was mid-September, the weather was hot and sunny which was perfect for an intimate outdoor ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends.

Congratulations, Scarlett and Joe. Wishing you many more years of laughter, dancing and love as you start your next adventure together.

Knox College Wedding: Patrick and Cathy

Cathy and Patrick met a few years before they officially met. Patrick remembered the encounter. Cathy didn’t. But thankfully, they ended up re-meeting at work and from there, they created moments that neither of them would forget. 

On a perfect summer day in June, in front of family and friends, they made their lifelong commitment to each other. They celebrated with laughter, tears and dancing all night long.

Cathy + Patrick, thank you for inviting us to capture your wedding day. It is truly an honour and a blessing to get to know you guys. Have an amazing time in Hawaii. Don't forget to show off your dance moves, Patrick ;)

Featured: Wedluxe - Limoncello-Inspired Bridal Shower

Ashley, the floral designer and creative mind behind Flowerly, had an idea to center her own bridal shower around the theme of lemons and limoncello. The cheerful yellow reflected the bright and celebratory energy that day. With the help of a great team, everything came together.

Take a look at all the details, especially the huge backdrop made from real lemons and be sure to check out the team after the gallery who made this possible. 

The bridal shower took place at the beautiful Colette Grand Cafe. 

The gold foil stationery was designed by Nadiya V Design.

Ashley of Flowerly was not only the florist, she was also the bride-to-be. 

Lettering on the clear gift box was done by none other than Doris of Love Lettering.

Oakview Terrace Wedding: Rick + Stephanie

Rick and Stephanie knew they wanted an intimate wedding with immediate family only so they chose a secluded location with a covered outdoor chapel. They chose to have a First Look, a quiet moment to see each other before the ceremony, which allowed them to have some time to themselves and to have a few photos taken. 

Their ceremony was short and sweet, which allowed for ample time to have their bride + groom and family portraits taken. It's so important to talk to your photographer before the schedule is set in order to make sure you've set aside enough time take your creative photos, especially if you have a wedding party, because they often require time to gather everyone and to craft the shot. 

Rick and Stephanie, thank you for trusting me to capture your special wedding ceremony. Your easygoing nature was a dream to work with and I'm so grateful. Congratulations :) 

The First Look

I love this moment so much.
