One of my favorite parts of photographing weddings is all the different locations I get to go to. Kim & Marcel’s wedding took place at the beautiful Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery in Amherstburg Ontario. It’s a stunning location and I hope I have the opportunity to go there again! You wouldn’t know from these photos, but minutes after we finished their photo session a storm of almost tornado level rocked the reception area! When it finally ended, we were able to safely go out to the tent for dinner and caught a beautiful sunset! Thanks to Kim & Marcel for being such a great couple to work with, and also a big thank you to my good friend Yvonne for second shooting with me!

Describe the vision/theme you had for your wedding in 5 words or less: We wanted our wedding to be fresh and fun!
What are you favorite memories of your wedding day?
Bride: My favourite memory was seeing Marcel waiting at the alter.
Groom: My favourite memory was seeing Kim walking up the aisle.
Best wedding related decision: Way too hard to chose!
Favourite detail: I couldn’t imagine not having a piece of my grandma with me as I got married, having my grandma’s wedding diamond in my bouquet was a nice reminder that she was there in spirit.
Advice for future brides & grooms: Enjoy the day and have fun!
Would you change anything if you could do it all over again? Marcel would have eaten the beef tenderloin! 
Best surprise of the day: The best surprise of the day was when Marcel received a cross from his uncle, Father Louis Mousseau, who performed the ceremony, which once belonged to his grandfather.
Favorite HRM picture from the day (and why?): I love picture number 505. I think the way that we are looking at one another really shows how much we love each other. On top of that, the lighting is magical!
Anything else you’d like to add: Merci Heather and Yvonne for capturing the special moments of the best day of our lives.
