You might remember Holley & Ben from the engagement photos I shot for them, back in December.
I was surprised, but so excited to see that Holley & Ben put one of my photos on their wine bottle labels. I had such a great time shooting this wedding. Holley & Ben were decisive and yet laid back through this whole process, which made my job so easy. I was able to get an idea of what they wanted, but I could tell they trusted me to do what I wanted with it.
With the direction and freedom the couple gave me, I was able to make the look of their wedding my own, but also very much representative of Holley & Ben’s personalities.
Their ceremony took place under two giant trees, in front of a beautiful pond full of ducks and swans. And best of all, the weather was gorgeous.
The ceremony was beautiful, yet modest, and frankly, very endearing. Holley looked absolutely stunning.
After the ceremony, we took some family formals and then I headed out with the wedding party for some INformals.
Such a fun group to shoot. Everybody was up for anything I suggested and they all showed SO MUCH character. Plus, we shot these in beautiful New Hamburg, Ontario.
Holley sent me a very reassuring message after first seeing some of her photos:
WE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE PHOTOS!!!! These are exactly what we were hoping for!!!!!! We honestly don’t think that they could be anymore perfect!!!! you’ve captured our day perfectly!!!! thank you so much! another amazing job!!!
It seemed Ben & Holley were having too much fun to even stop for a serious group photo.
After photos, we met the guests back at the reception. Holley & Ben really impressed me with their ability to have their wedding look stylish without making it too extravagant.
The entire day, it was clear to me that these two are in love and perfectly compliment each other.
And they danced the night away…
The dancing paused only for a brief moment while Ben searched for Holley’s guarder … while handcuffed and blindfolded.
Upon meeting with Colleen and Adam, it was clear that their wedding party and families would be as energetic and welcoming as they were. This was absolutely the case, which made the whole experience that much better.
Located at the beautiful Glencairn Golf Club in Milton, Ontario, close attention was paid to every detail of their wedding. Capturing the beautiful atmosphere was not a difficult task.
Colleen and Adam shared some very kind words with me in an email they sent just days after their wedding:
I’m still trying to comprehend how smoothly the whole day went. The planning and organization that went into their day was obvious; there was no part of the day that I felt under pressure or rushed. As a photographer, who only has one chance to capture each moment, this is very appreciated.
