Andrea & Chris – The Wedding – Kortright Center – Toronto

The Kortright Center is well known to many who grew up in Toronto, as it was a popular destination for elementary school field trips when one was young. It definitely brought back a number of fond memories for me and it was nice to think that a beautiful wedding would now be added to them.

A winding trail through the forest, which led to a clearing in the woods, was the perfect setting for Andrea and Chris’ nature inspired ceremony. It was a very intimate celebration and was a nice change of pace from some of the larger weddings that I have been covering lately. It brought a lot of warmpth and energy to the event and made for a very relaxed day.

Thank you so much for having me at your wedding!

Autumn & Alex– The Wedding – Newtonville

I love weddings that take place in the country! It’s a fantastic break from the hustle of the city and the picturesque landscapes make for truly fantastic backdrops for portraits.

Autumn and Alex’s wedding took place on a cute little piece of property outside of Newtonville Ontario. I’m glad that they provided me with directions too – because the location didn’t even show up on Google maps!  Things started off inside the country home as Autumn prepared for the big day and then, for the ceremony, transitioned to a beautiful gazebo overlooking a pond.

I had my good friend Sebastian as my assistant photographer for the day and he did a fantastic job of gathering the details of the event. Thanks!

I love the photo of Autumn spinning in her beautiful dress!! The flower details on her shoes also looked fantastic. Flats were definitely the smart choice, as the dancing was pretty intense later in the evening!

The afternoon light was just starting to soften up as we headed out for some quick portraits on a quiet side road. They both love their Sky convertible and I just had to squeeze it into one of the shots for a bit of play!

The mix of color temperatures really punched up the vibrancy of the above images. The pond made for a perfect reflecting pool with the mist just starting to dance across the surface.  In the last image, I am actually catching a guests camera flash – one of those unexpected treats that I sometimes get when sorting through the days images!

Enjoy!

Sarah & Russ – The Wedding – Horseshoe Valley Resort

Fresh air, the scent of pine and a scenic vista set the scene for Sarah and Russel’s wedding at Horseshoe Resort, which is just outside of Barrie, Ontatio.

Some may recognize Sarah and Russel as the “Rockin’ Couple” from a Lifestyle / Engagement shoot that I did last year, which came complete with guitars and amps. Oh yes. Needless to say I have come to like this couple a lot and was excited to finally be photographing their wedding!

We found some fantastic locations for the ‘not so formal’ photos, including a vibrant canola field which made for a fantastic backdrop for Sarah in her beautiful dress!

I also have to thank Ryan Rowell, of Rowell Photography, for being an awesome second photographer and for putting up with the ridiclous amount of gear that I made him carry. I swear, I am learning to pack lighter!

Richard & Michelle – The Wedding – Tralee, Orangeville

Michelle and Richard are an amazing couple that I have gotten to know fairly well over the past few months since meeting with them a number of times to discuss their wedding plans and to also do their engagement shoot. We quickly found out that we shared common interest in the environment and sustainable building – how cool!

The wedding ceremony and reception were both held at the Tralee, which is a great outdoor venue located just outside of Orangeville. It was a picture perfect setting for a fall wedding with tall trees, autumn colours, a reflecting pond and horse drawn a carriage ride to the ceremony. It definitely set the tone for what turned out to be a spectacularly simple wedding in the country.

It was a great evening Richard & Michelle – and have fun renovating your beautiful sustainable home!
