A Romantic Cellar 52 Wedding, St. Jacobs Ontario (1430 King St N, St. Jacobs, On): When Our Lovely Couple Reached Out To Us About Photographing Their Lovely Cellar 52 Wedding Day In St. Jacobs, We Were Thrilled! To Have A Cellar 52 Wedding Means You Have Plenty Of Natural Light Throughout The Venues, The Entire Day. This Wedding In St. Jacobs Officially Started With The Lovely Bride And Groom Getting Ready With Their Wedding Party Right At Cellar 52. One Of The Things That All Couples At Cellar 52 Love Is Their First Look On The Staircase, As The Bride And Her Dad Had. The Bride And Her Groom Exchanged Vows In An Intimate Ceremony Surrounded By Friends, Family, And The Natural Light Seeping Through The Windows Of Cellar 52. After The Ceremony, The Happy Bride And Groom Joined Us At The Riverside Along With Their Wedding Party While The Guests Enjoyed The Patio Reception. This Venue Is Unique Because There Are Many Locations For Photos - Wedding Photos And Details Can Be Done Inside And Outdoors. A Couple Can Also Choose To Have Their Ceremony Outside By The River. When We Returned To The Patio, The Bride And Groom Had Their First Dance. Celebrating Under The Edison Bulbs, They Danced Happily As The Evening Came To A Close. We Love St. Jacobs And Absolutely Can't Wait To Return To Cellar 52 For The Next Wedding! If You Are Considering A Venue With A Lovely Space For Your Ceremony And Reception And Where You Can Dance Under Some Pretty Lights Over Your Head, You'll Find Everything And More At Cellar 52. 

No Matter How Many Weddings I Shoot, It Is Always Fun To See How Each Couple I Work With Makes Their Wedding Day And Venue Uniquely Their Own. When I Had The Opportunity To Second Shoot Collin And Jessica’s Wedding At Ovy Camp In San Gregorio, This Was Especially True—because Ovy Camp Is Where I Hosted My Own Wedding!collin And Jessica Exchanged Their Vows In The Property’s Redwood Grove Framed By A Wooden Arbor Circle The Couple Made And Stained Themselves. The Modern Wedding Arch’s Caramel Tone Created A Beautiful Contrast Against The Redwood Trees’ Dark Bark And Evergreen Leaves. Collin Wore A Classic Grey Suit, And Jessica Wore A Unique Gown Straight Out Of A Bohemian Wedding Dream. Jessica’s Rue De Seine Nahla Gown Was Flowy Crinkle Chiffon In A Muted Floral Pattern, And The Bodice Featured Crochet-reminiscent Lace Detailing And Cutouts. The Mix Of Classic Details And Pops Of Texture And Color Made Collin And Jessica’s Ceremony Beautiful To Shoot.after The Ceremony And Capturing A Few Shots Of The Bride And Groom And Their Bridal Party, It Was Time For Collin And Jessica’s Reception. To Carry The Ceremony’s Romantic Tone Into The Reception, The Property’s Main Hall Was Adorned With Dried Floral Arrangements, Ivory Tablecloths, And Brass Accents. Collin And Jessica Also Included Many Unique Details And Activities That Showcased The Joys Of Hosting Their Wedding On A Summer Camp Property. From A Tie-dye Station To Various Yard Games, A Live Band, And A Rustic Pizza Oven Where Guests Each Built Individual-sized Pizzas For Dinner, Collin And Jessica Made Their Wedding A Complete Experience For Their Guests. returning To The Site Of My Own Wedding And Second Shooting With Fellow Photographer Shannon Rosan Gave Me The Chance To Be Reminded Of Just How Spectacular Of A Venue Ovy Camp Is. The 100-acre Property Nestled In The Bay Area Peninsula’s Redwood Forests Functions As An Overnight Youth Summer Camp During The Week That Is Available For Events And Weddings On The Weekends. Ovy Camp Offers Its Facilities To Be Rented For A Single Day Or Exclusive Access To The Property For The Entire Weekend. With Cabins And Tent Camping Options, Couples Can Spend Their Whole Wedding Weekend Surrounded By Up To 150 Of Their Closest Family And Friends. There Are Multiple Locations On-site Where A Couple Can Choose To Exchange Their Vows And Dance The Night Away, All Of Which Lend Themselves To Customization. it Was Such A Joy To Be Back At Ovy Camp For Collin And Jessica’s Wedding And See Another Couple Make This Exceptional Venue Their Own. I Will Always Recommend Ovy Camp And Hope I Have The Opportunity To Shoot There Again Soon.see More From This Beautiful, Boho Wedding Day By Clicking View Gallery Below.

On Occasion, As A Photographer, I Find Myself Falling In Love With The Details Of A Client’s Wedding, Which Is Precisely What Happened While Second Shooting For Katie And Doug’s Wedding At Gardner Ranch In Carmel Valley. Being A Second Shooter Typically Means I Get To Hang Back Just A Little More Than I Typically Would On A Wedding Day. As The Second Shooter, My Job Is To Capture The Smaller Details The Day And Venue Have To Offer While The Primary Photographer Works Through The Client’s Shot List. Luckily For Me, Gardner Ranch Had An Abundance Of Swoon-worthy Details, And Katie And Doug’s Touches Played Off Of Those Details Beautifully. gardener Ranch Is A 24-acre Property About 25 Minutes Southwest Of Monterey Nestled In The Sun-soaked Hills Of Carmel Valley. The Canopies Of Oak, Sycamore, And Willow Trees Create A Romantic Diffused Light As The Sun Streams Through The Leaves On The Tree-studded Ranch. One Of The Most Picturesque Parts Of The Property Is The Woodland Lawn. The Naturally Styled Grassy Field And Greenery Beneath The Trees Make You Feel As Though You’ve Stumbled Into A Previously Undiscovered California Meadow. This Tranquil Scene Is Where Katie And Doug Chose To Exchange Their Vows. katie And Doug Let The Beauty Of Their Surroundings Speak Almost Wholly For Themselves. Their Only Addition To The Backdrop Was Arrangements Of Eucalyptus, Feathery Pampas Grass, And Muted Florals To Line The Aisle. They Let The Branches Of A Sycamore Tree Be Their Wedding Arch, And The Lush Grass Be Their Aisle Runner. The Bridesmaids Wore Blush-hued Dresses, And The Groomsmen Wore Navy Blue Suits. Katie’s Gown Had A Beaded Lace Bodice And A-line Tulle Skirt That Felt Airy And Ethereal In The Dappled Lighting. With Vows Exchanged, And Their Union Sealed With A Kiss, Katie And Doug Left The Woodland Lawn Hand In Hand As Husband And Wife.after The Ceremony, The Celebration Shifted To Gardener Ranch’s Clubhouse Patio Beside Its Sparkling Pool. Katie And Doug Chose To Host Their Reception Outdoors Under Market Lights Strung From The Treetops. The Weather Stayed Perfect All Day Long For The Outdoor Ceremony And Toasting The New Couple In The Open Air. When It Came Time For Dessert And Dancing, Guests Were Welcomed Inside By A Cozy Brick Fireplace And Retro Black And White Tile Flooring Beneath Their Feet. The Energy Of The Space And The Joy Of Katie And Doug’s Guests Ensured That The Day Ended Full Of Fun.gardner Ranch’s Mix Of Rustic, Natural Overtones And Its Chic, Elegant Details Lend Themselves To Almost Any Couple’s Style While Ensuring Romance Stays At The Forefront Of The Occasion. Gardner Ranch Also Offers Onsite Lodging Just As Beautiful As Its Celebration Spaces, Allowing Its Guests The Option Of Spending Their Entire Wedding Weekend With The Property As Their Private Paradise. while I Find Details I Love At All The Weddings I Have The Privilege Of Photographing, I Have To Admit That Gardner Ranch Swept Me Off My Feet. I Hope I Have The Opportunity To Return There To Celebrate Another Couple Soon.click View Gallery Below To View Some Of My Favorites From Their Day!

I'm Going Wild Over Over This Elopement Session I Shot With Sallie & Brent! Their Wedding Was Originally Planned For 2020, But Has Now Been Rescheduled To Next Year Due To The Covid-19 Shutdown. So We Planned An Elopement Session To Celebrate Their Official Wedding Day. They're Such A Fun Couple, And I Had An Amazing Time Photographing Them In This Gorgeous Place. Looking Forward To Heading Out To Ny To Photograph Their Big Celebration Next Year! Many Thanks To Susanne At Crown Weddings For Putting It All Together And Dawn At Tularosa Flowers For The Beautiful Florals. 

Prince Edward County Is A Beautiful Place To Get Married, And Darcy And Naren Had The Perfect Intimate Wedding At The Drake Devonshire. They Wrote Their Own Vows For The Ceremony Overlooking Lake Ontario. The Couple Shared That They Decided On An Elopement Because We Wanted It To Be Just About Us. Darcy And Naren Originally Had Planned For Their Wedding To Be In 2020, But With All That's Happening, They Decided To Postpone To 2021. When January Of 2021 Rolled Around, They Were Faced With A Decision On Whether Or Not To Postpone The Wedding. They Decided It Was Time To Get Married And So They Eloped.the Drake Devonshire Is A Boutique Hotel Located In Wellington. There Are Spectacular Views Overlooking Lake Ontario From This Wedding Venue. The Drake Devonshire Hotel Has Some Amazing Artwork - No Matter Where You Look, There's Something Unique To See. Darcy And Naren Read Their Vows To Each Other In The Owner's Suite At The Drake Devonshire. The Suite Was Filled With Natural Light, Overlooking Lake Ontario. They Had An Intimate First Dance On The Balcony Before We Headed To Walk Along The Shore To Watch The Sunset. As It Became Dusk, They Popped Open Some Bubbly, Cheersing Each Other With Every Sip!

It’s No Secret That 2020 Was A Year Full Of Postponements, Questions Marks And Uncertainty; Especially For Couples Planning Such Big Events As Their Wedding Days.  This Was The Case With Our Sweet Couple, Neil And Elyse, Who Never Dreamed Their 2020 Wedding Plans Would Be Affected By A Global Pandemic! after Getting Engaged In The Spring Of 2019, They Went To Work To Plan Their Special Day At The Beautiful And Historic, Toronto Golf Club.  The Stunning Clubhouse, The Natural Surroundings, The Club’s Renowned Chef And Both The Indoor And Outdoor Ceremony And Reception Locations Made It The Perfect Choice For Elyse And Neil’s Garden Party-inspired Wedding Day.  Their Original Plans Included A Beautiful Ceremony Under The Big Maple Tree And Dinner For Over 100 Guests In The Clubhouse’s Dining Room.  As Canada Began To Face Serious Lockdown Measures In March 2020; However, It Became Clearer And Clearer That It Most Likely Wouldn’t Be Possible To Celebrate Their May Wedding.  The Number Of Cases Was Rising Very Quickly In The Toronto Area And The Authorities Had To Set Very Strict Measures For Gatherings.  they Moved Their Wedding To September With The Hope That By The End Of Summer The Situation Would Improve.  As The Province Began Entering The Final Stage Of Opening Towards The End Of August, Elyse And Neil Decided That They Were Going To Go Ahead Even If It Meant Having A Different- Looking Wedding Day Than What They Had Originally Planned. They Went To Work With The Club’s Manager To Plan Their Ceremony And Cocktail Party For 70 Guests (the Regulations In The Region At That Time Stated 100 People Or Less Were Permitted At An Outdoor Event).  In Order To Ensure The Safety Of All Attendees, The Club Prescreened All Guests According To Health Canada’s Guidelines. although They Had To Sacrifice Having All Of Their Invitees Present, They Made Sure That All Their Friends Could Login Via Zoom To Be A Part Of Their Special Day. elyse Then Had An Emotional Walk With Her Dad Down The Aisle.  Technical Difficulties With The Music Made For Such A Memorable Walk As All The Guests All Chimed In And Began Humming, ‘here Comes The Bride’ As Elyse Made Her Way To Her Groom. from Their Very Meaningful Ceremony, The Couple Welcomed Their Guests To A Garden-inspired Sit-down Cocktail Party On The Lawn.  Tables Were Set Apart According To The Government’s Required Distance Standards And Guests Were Served Their Drinks And Appetizers At Their Tables To Avoid Unnecessary Movement Between Social Bubbles.after Saying Goodbye To Their Guests, The Newlyweds Continued The Celebrations With An Intimate Dinner In The Clubhouse With Their Immediate Families. As The Very Happy Evening Came To An End, Their Families Surrounded The Couple With Love And A Final Celebratory Sparkler Cheer Which Lit Up The Dark Sky.  support Has Been So Important This Year For So Many Reasons.  Documenting Elyse And Neil’s Support System, Including Their Family And Friends, And The Love And Encouragement They Share Was Such An Honour.  As With So Many Couples This Year, Plans Had To Adapt And Change For Them; However, We Cannot Think Of How Their Day Could Have Been Any More Joyous.  It Left Our Hearts Full!!

You Are Mine, And I Am Thine, And No Power On Earth Shall Make It Otherwise- Jacob Grimma Wedding Full Of Storieswhat Can I Say About The Wedding Of Andrew And Rachel? I Could Fill Pages...just Like They Filled Their Day With Pages And More Words Than Could Be Read In A Single Week. And That's In A Completely Literal Sense, For When Rich And I Walked Into Their Home We Were Met With Walls Hidden Behind Bookshelves That Were Packed With More Books Than I Could Hope To Own. I Was In Awe. The Reception Venue Was Decorated In Paper Cranes Made Of Pages From Books And The Table Centerpieces Were Stacked Books With The Names Of Authors As Table Numbers. There Were Enough Books For Each Guest To Take Home As A Favor. We Brought Home Lord Of The Flies. Their Wedding Was Truly A Book Lover's Dream. beyond The Numerous Books, This Wedding Was Magical For Other Reasons. The Venue Setting Was The Most Whimsical One We've Ever Worked At, With Trees Framing The Dance Floor To Look Like An Enchanted Forest, The Alice In Wonderland-inspired Bridal Suite In The Loft, And The Hidden Garden Gazebo, It Was All Absolutely Wonderful. Rachel And Andrew Themselves Looked Just Like A Fairytale Princess And Her Prince.getting Readyrachel And Andrew Got Ready At Their Home, Rachel On The Top Floor And Andrew On The Bottom Floor. I Quickly Made Myself Busy By Going Between Styling Details To Documenting Rachel Having Her Makeup And Hair Styled. It Was So Lovely Watching Her Mom Help Her Get Ready. Meanwhile, Rich Was Downstairs With Andrew And The Other Guys Who Made Up The Wedding Party. After Spending An Hour Just Chatting After Their Engagement Session, Rich And Andrew Seemed Like They Were Longtime Friends. the Guys Were Finished First, So They Headed On Over To Assumption Greek Orthodox Church For The First Ceremony Of The Day. Once Rachel Had Her Red Converses On, I Got Some Shots Of Her Walking Down The Morning Glory-covered Stairs, And Then We Were Off To The Church.first Ceremonyandrew And Rachel Had Their Legal Wedding Ceremony At Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, Where They Regularly Attend And Where Rachel's Dad Is A Deacon. When Chatting Earlier In The Day, Rachel And Her Mom Explained That, When They Had First Attended The Church, It Felt Like Coming Home. I Had Never Attended A Greek Orthodox Wedding, So I Was Excited To Witness Theirs. This Ceremony Was Socially Distanced And Only Had A Family In Attendance.i Went Up To The Top Of The Aisle And Said Hello To Andrew While We Waited For Rachel To Make Her Grand Entrance. Andrew Was Buzzing. When Rachel Walked Through The Doors And He Saw Her For The First Time, Andrew Was Blown Away By Her Beauty And Had To Look Away To Compose Himself. From Then, They Stood Side-by-side At The Altar As Fr. Shaw Began. Throughout The Ceremony, Fr. Shaw Gave Blessings Over The Couple Followed By Rachel's Mother. They Did This With The Exchange Of Rings, The Crowns (which Was Personally My Favorite Part Of The Ceremony), Communion, And Circling Of The Table. I Can't Honestly Tell You I Knew What Each Moment Represented, But I Found The Ceremony To Be Very Beautiful And Interesting To Witness. Once They Were Pronounced Husband And Wife, They Shared A Kiss And Then We Proceeded To Do Some Family Photos.at Rich Farmswe All Made The Way Over To Rich Farms For The Rest Of The Day. The Gorgeous Gazebo Was Where The Second Ceremony Would Be Held, Which Was To Be Officiated By Rachel's Brother. It Wasn't For A Few Hours, So We Spent The Downtime Time Taking Detail Shots, Eating Chik-fil-a, And Getting Ready. We Opted Not To Do Too Many Portraits During This Time Because The Sun Was Too High In The Sky And It Was Very Hot Outside, However, I Did Get Some Really Great Bridal Portraits Of Rachel While Andrew Took Rich Along With Him And One Of The Groomsmen To Michael's To Pick Up A Box Of Flower Petals. as We Neared The Ceremony Time, Everyone Lounged In The Loft And Peeked Out The Window As Guests Started Arriving. Rachel's Mom Helped Touch Up Her Makeup And Adorned Her Head With A Delicate Circlet Crown. Andrew Watched His New Wife With Such A Soft Look In His Eyes. When Everyone Else Left The Room To Allow Andrew And Rachel A Moment Before The Ceremony, They Took The Opportunity To Pray Together And It Was One Of The Sweetest Moments Of The Day. the Second Ceremony Was Incredibly Beautiful. I Loved That Andrew And Rachel Had Her Grandmother As Their Flower Girl. It Was So Sweet To Watch Rachel's Mom Wheel Grandma Down The Aisle To Toss Flower Petals. If Andrew's Reaction To Seeing Rachel During The First Ceremony Was Total Awe, His Reaction This Time Was Complete Adoration. It Was Very Special To Have Rachel's Brother Officiate And He Took A More Traditional Approach, However, One Delightful Addition Was After Asking Who Was Giving Away The Bride, He Asked Who Was Giving Away The Groom, To Which Andrew's Adopted Parents Answered. after The Conclusion Of The Ceremony, We Went Off To Do Group Photos And Then The Bride And Groom Portraits And There Was No Shortage Of Beautiful Scenery To Do So. We Were Even Able To Sneak Away For Some Beautiful Sunset Portraits.this Wedding Will Always Hold A Special Place In My Memory And I Am So Glad That Andrew And Rachel Pick Cyn Davis Photography To Tell Their Story. I'm Glad That Our Journey Together Was Like That Of A Fairytale. Congratulations To Andrew And Rachel, May They Live Happily Ever After!
