The Museum Wedding in Kitchener

Megan + Joshua

Megan + Joshua had an amazing fall wedding at the The Museum in Kitchener, Ontario.

Dinosours crashing the wedding, a ‘beer boy’ walking down the aisle and chicken dance in honour of Oktoberfest!

We began the day with everyone getting ready in some really nice suites at the recently remodelled Walper Hotel which just happens to be across the street from The Museum in downtown Kitchener. Hair and makeup was done by Autumn Artistry and Makeup.

The first look was done in Goudies Land in downtown in Kitchener which was a great backdrop with it’s urban feel and modern look. We then met up with all the families at a nearby park for some formal family portraits. I’ve said it before, but having that first look is such a great idea to make the wedding timeline flow smoother and provide a better experience for your guests. Plus, it helps with those wedding day jitters if you’ve already seen each other by the time the ceremony rolls around!

The ceremony was great, the venue is such a unique space and so different from so many typical wedding venues. I think the highlight for me was the beer boy! What’s that, your wedding didn’t have a full grown man coming down the aisle handing out beers and blowing rose petals… your loss. :)

Second favourite highlight from the ceremony was Joshua getting a little emotional during his vows and accidentally dropping an F bomb. :)

After the ceremony it was off to cocktail hour where a family of dinosours made an appearance… totally normal. Dinner itself was catered by Little Mushroom Catering who I’ve worked with before and they do an amazing job if you’re looking for an offsite caterer for your event! Wedding florals were provided by Hello Gorgeous Flowers.

After dinner were some formal dances and then everyone was on the dance floor for the chicken dance…. I mean, it is October in Kitchener after all! The DJ from Complete events kept everyone on the dance floor for the rest of the night.

Congratulations Megan + Joshua, and thanks again for having me be a part of your big day!

Kitchener Commercial Photographer

Healthaholics Headshots


Veronica is a past bride of mine who contacted me for some environmental shots to be used for Healthoholics, a Kitchener holistic health & nutrition store that she runs with her family.  The have everything from vitamins, supplements, orgainic foods and all natural products for cleaning, beauty and even maternity and baby supplies!  Of course, there's also a full clinic in the store which offers everything from nutritional planning to massage therapy. 

We actually started the shoot around the corner from my house, borrowing a beautifully remodelled kitchen of one of Veronica's classmates.   From there, we headed off to the Healthaholics store in Kitchener and then to Dutchies fresh Market for some photographs in the produce aisle... so nice of them to let us use the store!

Look for some of these pictures to be on Kitchener Transit buses in the near future!

Kitchener Museum Wedding Photography

Leigh + John

Another one of my favourite 2013 weddings is up on the blog today!

Leigh + John were married this past summer at The Museum in downtown Kitchener.   These days, most of my weddings are in Toronto so it's always nice when I can shoot a wedding that's a little more local.

We started the day (okay... late afternoon!) getting ready at the Walper Hotel and John's mothers condo and then headed over to The Museum for the ceremony and reception.  We ducked out after the wedding ceremony for a few quick portraits right in the middle of Bluesfest.

The reception was great, heartfelt speeches and a rocking dance floor!


Kitchener Event Photographer | Tannery Event Centre

Hilary's Birthday Party! 


 

 Had the pleasure of being asked to photograph Hilary's birthday party at the Tannery Event Centre in downtown Kitchener!
 
Hilary is an amazing portrait photographer running One for the Wall in Waterloo so it was a real honour for her to put her trust in me.  She was inspired by Oprah's birthday party and wanted to go all out and honour those that shaped the last 40 years of her life!

 
The whole night was planned and pulled off by Jolean from Struck Events who did an amazing job!
 
The evening started off with a dinner catered by Bingemens with members of WINC Waterloo, a group of women entrepreneurs based in Kitchener-Waterloo.  
 
Then the rest of the guests arrived for an amazing night of dancing & partying with my friend Jasmyn from Olympic Sound spinning the tunes.
