Once in a while, a bride’s mother calls you up out of the blue, and asks if you’re free for wedding photography at a rural Ontario Bed & Breakfast. Then, once you find out all the details, it’s even more magical than you ever could have imagined it to be!

Let’s talk about microweddings! It’s been a long year but if there’s one thing we’ve learned from the couples we’ve photographed, it’s that humans have an incredible gift for resilience and being creative during times of limitation.

Microweddings could be the way people choose to get married this year, and maybe for a little while longer this decade, just until things calm down a bit and people feel safe. Or it’ll be like the roaring 1920s and all the weddings are going to turn into 90’s style raves complete with glow sticks and love bombs.

The most magical winter elopement you've ever seen. I was immediately blown away. The setting was gorgeous and cosy, intimate and warm, inviting, and filled with rich textures and colours.

Kelly was walked down the aisle by her son, and all the flowers in the bouquets were handpicked onsite. After the ceremony, Kelly and Ben shared their first dance under the maple, and everyone celebrated with glasses of bubbly (non-alcoholic, but still delicious… well, unless you ask the kids who pulled grossed out faces).

It’s the most unique wedding we’ve photographed, and we want you to see it & wish this couple well in their life together <3

When I got married, we didn’t tell my aunt’s family (who are very close to us), OR my husband’s family.

It wasn’t a malicious or intentional omission; it was simply that we eloped with like two days “planning”, and we were travelling abroad for it (to my home-country, Bulgaria), so most of those two days were spent on an airplane, at the airport, or jetlagged. The thought of calling family to explain was an afterthought. I was 23 years old and in love, and marriage or wedding traditions weren’t a huge deal to me at the time. Don’t hate me!

Many couples yearn for a quiet and magical elopement, full of nature’s wonder. And this is exactly what you’ll find at the Hidden Meadows, any week between June and October.

They just can’t keep their hands off each other.

They had these big plans, you know? Big venue downtown, a large guest list, family coming in from other provinces - the whole deal. This is how weddings go and we all know how wonderful those celebrations can be.
