The Museum Wedding in Kitchener

Megan + Joshua

Megan + Joshua had an amazing fall wedding at the The Museum in Kitchener, Ontario.

Dinosours crashing the wedding, a ‘beer boy’ walking down the aisle and chicken dance in honour of Oktoberfest!

We began the day with everyone getting ready in some really nice suites at the recently remodelled Walper Hotel which just happens to be across the street from The Museum in downtown Kitchener. Hair and makeup was done by Autumn Artistry and Makeup.

The first look was done in Goudies Land in downtown in Kitchener which was a great backdrop with it’s urban feel and modern look. We then met up with all the families at a nearby park for some formal family portraits. I’ve said it before, but having that first look is such a great idea to make the wedding timeline flow smoother and provide a better experience for your guests. Plus, it helps with those wedding day jitters if you’ve already seen each other by the time the ceremony rolls around!

The ceremony was great, the venue is such a unique space and so different from so many typical wedding venues. I think the highlight for me was the beer boy! What’s that, your wedding didn’t have a full grown man coming down the aisle handing out beers and blowing rose petals… your loss. :)

Second favourite highlight from the ceremony was Joshua getting a little emotional during his vows and accidentally dropping an F bomb. :)

After the ceremony it was off to cocktail hour where a family of dinosours made an appearance… totally normal. Dinner itself was catered by Little Mushroom Catering who I’ve worked with before and they do an amazing job if you’re looking for an offsite caterer for your event! Wedding florals were provided by Hello Gorgeous Flowers.

After dinner were some formal dances and then everyone was on the dance floor for the chicken dance…. I mean, it is October in Kitchener after all! The DJ from Complete events kept everyone on the dance floor for the rest of the night.

Congratulations Megan + Joshua, and thanks again for having me be a part of your big day!

Three Bridges Waterloo Wedding

Rebecca + Matt

Rebecca + Matt had a great fall wedding at the Three Bridges event space just outside of Waterloo, Ontario.

Over 300 weddings into this I sort of think I’ve seen everything but this wedding had a new one for me… an in home barber for the guys! What a fantastic idea. Matt and his guys got a fresh trim so they were looking their best all the while getting to relax and hang out at Matt’s parents home in Waterloo. Can’t recommend this idea enough!

I joined Rebecca and her crew at a hotel in St. Jacobs as they got ready. I loved Rebecca’s Converse sneakers along with matching ones for the little flower girls.

The outdoor ceremony was held outdoors on the beautiful grounds of the Three Bridges event space. I swear the temperature dropped 15 degrees right before the autumn ceremony. We all powered through it and celebrated as Rebecca and Matt officially tied the knot. After the ceremony there was a large group photo of everyone (Most photographers hate doing these… I secretly like them!), some family photos and then we piled into the limo bus to get some more portraits in the surrounding country side taking advantage of some of the beautiful fall colours.

Being October, the reception had a really great fall/halloween vibe going all the way down to the pumpkin centrepieces filled with halloween candy…. A fact that the guests at my table didn’t discover until well into the night. :). We managed to sneak out at sunset for some golden hour wedding portraits, this time we were literally outside for less than a minute but still got some great images. Quality over quantity I always say.

One of the highlights of the night was an amazing ‘History of Dance’ number Rebecca and her dad put on during their father/daughter dance.

Some highlights from the rest of the night included a great shoe game, late night cigars and a packed dance floor!
