Katie + Brad: Married; Hook, Line and Sinker!

I’m excited to share Katie and Brad’s lovely wedding with you. Friend and fellow photographer Matt Green introduced me to Katie and Brad, asking if I’d be interested in photographing their wedding. He was part of the wedding party and wouldn’t be able to photograph it. And, he wanted to celebrate the day instead of working. Understandable. I wasn’t booked that day, so I was happy to say “Yes!”.

You may have noticed that I wrote “lovely” in italics above. That’s because there’s a story to it. After the ceremony, which was held at Fairvew United Church in Brantford, we stayed to do formal portraits. I often tell people how lovely they look. Before I knew it everyone was telling each other how lovely they looked. Haha. For the rest of the day everything was “lovely”. The entire wedding day was “lovely”. And, I’d have to agree!

I always enjoy photographing a couple’s special day. This wedding was no exception. You can see the sense of humour Katie and Brad have. Just look at their wedding cake. How original is that! I had a small audience watching while I photographed it. It took me a few minutes because it’s an elaborate cake with a story to tell. Those cake toppers are rather small and difficult to photograph in low light. But I got what I wanted. You can even see the fishing line on the bride’s fishing rod.

Afterward we headed to Glenhyrst Art Gallery. For newlyweds-to-be, if you reside in the area you may want to consider this location for your bridal party pictures and bride / groom portraits. It’s very pretty. By this time we were greeted with afternoon showers. We were prepared with umbrellas. It made for some nice photography and didn’t put a damper on anyone’s spirits. We did some pretty funny setups in the park (if Katie and Brad give you log-in details to their Gallery Collection you can see them there).

In the image below the girls are hamming it up for the camera. Katie’s sister doesn’t quite know what to do with her. I think they look lovely!

Before we knew it time was running out, so we rushed back to the hotel for the dinner reception. There were great speeches. The lovely MC’s recited Katie’s self-proclaimed corny (and funny!) jokes. Dinner was sumptuous, the staff were lovely (oops!), and the night ended with music and dance.

To view Katie and Brad’s complete Wedding Gallery Collection, visit the Client Area and log-in. You’ll be able to view all the galleries, order prints and more.

Until next time…
