Disco Balls, Mini Dress, and Pizza Trucks: The Perfect Backyard Wedding

When the couple has only been to a few weddings in their lives, it means that they don't care about the typical traditions. So we did everything awesome and nothing that wasn't.

Julia and Austin's wedding was the perfect low key, fun backyard wedding. Their tagline was "we got a good thing" and we wanted them to be at the centre of the entire day, which took place at her family's urban backyard. We wanted to evoke the spontaneity of an elopement, but with just a few more people, and tie through a bit of Julia's rocker edge. Her mini dress and mullet were complete perfection.

Garden-Inspired Art Gallery Wedding

Julie and Reid’s elegant, garden-inspired wedding was one I had been so looking forward to, but not without a few kinks in the planning!

Julie has a really demanding career, so I primarily worked with her mom and planner, Alli Mae Events. Julie gave us some inspiration for the visual direction, and we took it away from there — except, it was originally planned for another venue and due to flooding this spring, they scrambled to book a new venue just 4 weeks prior to their wedding!

In the end, I actually think the WAG was the absolute perfect location for them and I wouldn’t have chosen it to be any other way!

Wistful Romantic Wedding Photo Shoot

Now that I’m finally back to blogging on a regular basis and sharing some of the gorgeous weddings and events I’ve been part of over the last year, I knew I needed to share these images from Florence Photography from our Portfolio Builder last spring.

These images are romantic, and wistful, and have a bit of old-world charm to them, with a really sleek editorial vibe that I’ve come to know as Florence Photography’s signature style. I love the moody flirtation she captured!

White Rose Garden Inspired Wedding at St Charles Country Club

You know I don’t do a lot of all-white weddings, because I’m such a colour lover. But there’s something (or rather, lots of somethings) about Marisa and Rob’s white rose garden-inspired wedding at St Charles Country Club that had me singing a different tune.

When Marisa first emailed me, she was inquiring about event design as well as floral design. With the all-white palette, I honestly wasn’t confident that I could pull off the complete event design, so I suggested she connect with Emily at Feast & Festivities. And as you can see, that was a good direction to point her in because this wedding was STUNNING.

Whimsical Summer Camp Wedding at the Lake

I love a good wedding at the lake, and when Caitlyn first reached out to me, I was so excited to hear some of her preliminary ideas and the general idea of having the wedding at a camp!

Mid-way through the planning, the venue actually changed and they ended up at King’s Cabins, which I think is kind of a fishing camp and it was SO COOL. The ambiance was amazing and I can’t wait to show you how everything came together!
