Andrea and Felipe, Part 2

Filed Under» Real Weddings

Andrea and Felipe had planned their wedding ceremony to take place outside, overlooking the Niagara River, but as the clouds rolled in there was a quick change of venue as Mother Nature had other plans!

The looming storm clouds turned their planned outdoor event into an even more romantic indoor ceremony.  Andrea and Felipe exchanged vows under sparkling lights in a cozy heritage building on the banks of the river… it was heart warming and ridiculously romantic!

Andrea and Felipe, Part 1

Filed Under» Real Weddings

The lovely Andrea and Felipe flew in for their ‘destination Niagara’ wedding all the way from the UK!  Their friends and family met up to celebrate their nuptials with them in the pretty town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.  They had planned their wedding ceremony to overlook the Niagara River, but as you’ll read in Part 2, Mother Nature had other plans!

Congratulations Andrea and Felipe ... thanks for sharing your story!

From the photographer:  A favourite moment ... Felipe pacing the floors practicing his speech that would later in the evening move everyone to tears ...“stunning on the outside - beautiful on the inside”.

Courtney and Jeff

Filed Under» Real Weddings

There were few weddings that didn’t get rained on last summer ... and Jeff and Courtney’s was one of them.  It was a gorgeous day for a Niagara wedding!  

Courtney looked stunning in her wedding gown!  I love that she choose a slightly off white dress to compliment her beautiful skin tone.  Courtney’s little sister stayed close by ready to help out whenever needed!

Congratulations and best wishes Courtney and Jeff!

From the photographer: “You could just see the love that Jeff found in Courtney by the way he looked at his stunning bride, how he held her hand ... how he kissed her.”

Cameron and Janelle

Filed Under» Real Weddings

Janelle and Cameron exchanged their vows in a beautiful Niagara wedding ceremony under the trees at a B&B in Niagara-on-the-Lake.  The note attached to the flowers delivered early that wedding morning stated how excited Cameron was to be getting married ... nothing else mattered - not even the forecast!

It truly was the summer of rain as parasols set out for the sunshine came in handy to keep their guests dry from the showers.  The sun was welcomed after the ceremony - just in time for a few pictures! So many beautiful and thoughtful details were put into the day including the surprise cookies baked especially for Janelle by Grandma.

We just love how the breezy soft lavender and magenta pops on the dramatic grape background!  Another beautiful Niagara wedding!

Wedding Flowers

Kathy and Dave

Nothing brightens up a November Niagara wedding quite like these pink bridal bouquets created by the uber talented Jennifer at Mimosa Flower Studio. We love the dramatic colour palette of this wedding!  

Kathy and Dave were married in the afternoon and invited their guests to a dinner reception at a local golf course and winery.  In between the “I do” and dinner, pictures were taken in downtown St. Catharines and at Decew Falls.

Things we love about their wedding - the classic black bridesmaids dresses bought off the rack at RW&Co. (great find!), the feather in Kathy’s hair and the twirling little flower girl, Kate. So cute!

Dave and Kathy ... perfect for each other!  Your wedding was so Swish ... thanks for letting us share in your day!
