Recently I had the pleasure of working with these two wonderful people. A beautiful ceremony and backyard wedding held in the grooms childhood home in Bowmanville.  This was a stunning backyard and you could tell this family valued this patch of land with so much love and enjoyment.  It was a perfect scene with a subtle breeze just enough to cool the hot sun. 

Together these two tied the knot in front of their family and friends and the amount of love in this space was something I truly was overwhelmed by.  About a hundred people stood around the bride and groom, holding hands while the prayer was spoken. A truly spiritual moment for this couple and their loved ones. I was humbled at the amount of energy that you could feel amongst all of these people. Everyone there to celebrate this one thing, concentrating to bless this marriage with love and compassion and give strength together. It was emotional and authentic and I was so lucky to have been there.  I felt connected. It was a very special time in my 13 years of wedding photography.  I don’t know if another job exists where you can collect this much happiness, I truly don’t. 

Everything was right on the property and it was all within walking distance from the backyard ceremony site and to the wedding tent. Wedding guests mingled on the lawn while the sun went down through the evening. Beautiful weather that day!  It was laid back but also sophisticated. Time wasn’t rushed and everyone was relaxed. I just want to add, there were so many amazing hugs on this day. This was shortly after covid peeked and everything was opened back up. You could tell how much people missed each other. It was really nice to see and be around. 

Fast forward to the wedding party and I think these guys really nailed it. I think every wedding party should be themselves and own their style  but I will say that this crew made wedding party goals hard to top. This was a fabulous wedding to be a part of and I am so excited for this couple and their family! I am still in love with being a wedding photographer and I love to document couples who want authentic wedding photography that tells their story in a real way.  Couples like this who are in search of genuine moments that make them feel connected. Congratulations A & D !!! Wishing you happiness, adventure and love.
