Some people shy away from taking pictures outside in the winter…. NOT ME! I looooove a beautiful snowy wedding day and I love a couple who is willing to get a little chilly for fun photos in the snow! Jeanna & Nathan also had a fantastic “Old Hollywood Glamour” theme and we incorporated that with some retro b&w photos inside the Hunt Club (so many possibilities!) At dinner time, we looked outside and a real life snow globe was happening so we took full advantage of it for some magical night time shots!

Describe the vision/theme you had for your wedding in 5 words or less: Old Hollywood Glamour
What are you favorite memories of your wedding day?
Bride: Coming around the corner and seeing Nathan at the start of the ceremony made time stand still.
Groom: Seeing Jeanna come around the corner to walk down the aisle. Entering the dining room to a roar of applause and cheering.
Best wedding related decision:
Bride and Groom: We wanted the evening to flow and not be rushed so we decided to have a cocktail hour after the dinner service and start pumping the beats after that.
Favourite detail:
Bride: The “choreography” of the London Hunt and Country Club staff service, they had it down to a tee.
Groom: My wife’s smile
Advice for future brides & grooms:
Bride: Go with the flow. If the boutonnieres wilt from the cold weather – get the guys to take them off. If your shoes are killing you – wear the back up.
Groom: Chill out, people will enjoy themselves it you are happy and enjoying yourselves. Take it all in as this is likely the biggest and best party you will ever have.
Would you change anything if you could do it all over again?
Bride: Nothing for me, it was perfect.
Groom: I would reduce the quantity of the late night food. With a late dinner it is not necessary…but this is trivial.
Best surprise of the day:
Bride & Groom: The snow and the degree to which our guests embraced the theme. The women looked spectacular in the Hollywood glam.
Favorite HRM picture from the day (and why?):
Bride & Groom: #526 is a great photo however there are many great photo’s. It seems every moment, angle and emotion was captured.
