I often become really close with my clients and consider them friends by the end of their session. With Sam, things went the other way around as I’m lucky enough to be her friend first and her photographer second! :D Being friends first allowed me to watch her grow as a person and grow her family with John and I’m thrilled to present their wedding gallery to them.
When I arrived to the Barracks Inn, I was taken aback at how chill the vibe was. Everyone was excited but laid back and everything was on schedule. Those who have been married know that it’s often a very exciting but chaotic time. Not for Sam - her easygoing nature set the tone for such a cool and chill day!
The groom and groomsmen were just as chill and even little Xavier was in party mode already. Again, at this point I’m wondering if I’ve stumbled onto some kind of alternate reality wedding where everything is super chill???
Picture-perfect doesn't even begin to describe the backdrop at Ancaster Mill. Tucked away in Ontario's countryside, it was the dreamiest spot for Sam and John to tie the knot. Every corner seemed straight out of a storybook, setting the stage for an unforgettable day.
There was even a visit from a (very frightened) little deer!
As Sam floated down the aisle in her stunning gown, John's heart skipped a beat (or ten). But the real stars of the show? Enter Scarlett, a flower girl extraordinaire, handing out flowers to their guests. Xavier followed closely behind with a mischievous glint in his eye, determined to get to his dad (and his Smarties).
I couldn’t believe we still had the kid’s attention at this point. Their vibrant personalities infused each photograph with a warmth and authenticity that spoke volumes about Sam and John's love and their journey ahead as a family.
Also a high shoutout to Ancaster Mill for this UNREAL menu. Everything was amazing.
There is nothing cooler than a sparkler exit and Sam and John had some of the best behaved party goers. They listened really well to instructions and we were able to nail these shots!
Sam and John's wedding at Ancaster Mill was more than a ceremony—it was a testament to the power of love and family. From the intimate vows to the exuberant celebrations, every photograph captured the essence of their journey together. Xavier and Scarlett, with their vibrant spirits and infectious laughter, made the day uniquely theirs—a day where memories were etched in smiles and love was celebrated in every heartbeat.
