What can I say about Chris and Heather’s wedding? It was an amazing day (no rain!) with amazing photo locations (Random fields/Ethel’s!), and by far the nicest reception venue I’ve come across to date (Centre in The Square!)
Chris is a great photographer from up in Ottawa, and I was honored to photograph his wedding. I had some photographic help from Ms. Christine Reid, who was there as a second shooter. She did an amazing job!

La Hacienda Sarria was my favorite Kitchener/Waterloo venue until I came across this gem. I stood near the doors as the first wave of people entered, and watched as everyone’s jaw dropped. Some people seemed so overwhelmed with emotion over how beautiful everything looked. It was amazing.

On to some photos from the day:

The rain held off for Jola and Marcel’s wedding in Cambridge / Kitchener – which was rare for this summer! I can count the number of rain-free Saturdays on one hand actually. The sky started to drip every now and then, but overall the day way perfect.

We went to the Sunlife Manulife building at the top edge of Kitchener for a few photos – followed by a nice industrial type building. I love that my couples are open to stuff like this!

Hazel and Mike are an amazing couple. They had some great ideas for photographs and eventually we ended up at the Hespeler Library in Cambridge. The entire day was so relaxing, even though we were jumping back and forth across town.

If you’re getting married in Cambridge, the Hespeler Library is great rain location for photographs. The walls are glass, so there’s plenty of natural light, and there are a lot of nice textures and places to get creative.

Anyways, on to some photographs:

Lauren and Chris picked a perfect day for their wedding. The ceremony was up in Elmira at Trinity United Church, and the reception followed at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery in Waterloo. I’ve had the opportunity to shoot in Uptown Waterloo so much over this past year – but never once a wedding. The Clay and Glass Gallery may just have the best location for photos in the entire city, you have everything from cool architecture, to grungy alleys, to Waterloo park, all within a few minutes of walking.

Here are a few images from the day!

  • Anika - The pictures are lovely, wonderful to see the old architecture of old uptown waterloo!
    Do you have any idea how the couple got the glass and clay museum for their reception? and any idea how many people they were able to seat?
    any help would be appreciated,
    Anika

  • Taylor Jackson - They Anika, they used to have a full listing of details on their website, but it seems to have disappeared – I’m sure they’d still do weddings though – might be best to give them a call! Happy Planning, Taylor

So a little while ago, Robyn of Bella Wedding and Event Planning and I did a trash the dress session. Marshall Angus came out and took a little behind the scenes video that I cut together and forgot to post on my blog.

Well here it is!

  • Jason Velazquez - AWESOME! I want to be like you when I grow up!

  • Tim May - I really like the grunge feel to the photos. I guess you can’t help when you are in a warehouse like that. Was it just an abandoned place or did you have to get permission and all that kind of stuff?
