Wedding! Amy + Brett [Home - Welland, ON]

A Beautiful Day in the Backyard: Brett and Amy’s Enchanting Wedding

There’s something undeniably magical about backyard weddings, and Brett and Amy’s celebration was no exception. Nestled in the lush greenery of Brett’s family home, the intimate setting became a canvas for love, laughter, and a few happy tears.

The day started at the home Brett and Amy share together. The music was pumping and the laughter was abundant. There was no doubt that everyone was SO excited for the couple!

Over at the boys house, the energy was just as palpable. The guys were already dressed and ready to do when I got there - all that was left was to pin on some flowers and Brett was ready to get married!

Back with the bride, it was time to put on her dress and let everyone see the beautiful job the seamstress did in rejuvenating her mother’s wedding dress.

Let’s Get Married!

As I pulled up to the ceremony space, Brett’s parent’s backyard, everyone was already so excited. Let’s get this party started!

A Timeless Touch

One of the most touching moments of the day came as Amy stepped into view, glowing in her mother’s stunning wedding gown. The delicate lace and elegant silhouette not only highlighted her beauty but also connected generations of love. As she walked down the aisle, you could feel the emotion in the air; it was a beautiful homage to her parents’ enduring romance.

With a cheers with some bubbly, we were off across the street at Cook’s Mill Park to escape the tiny bit of rain we got that day. Luckily, the canopy of trees in the park gave us the perfect spot to capture some great shots of the wedding party!

Back at the reception, we met up with family to get a few portraits done

They also had tons of lawn games set up where some healthy competition ensued!

Pulled Pork Perfection

Now, let’s talk about the food—because what’s a wedding without delicious bites? Fireside Drive catered the event, serving up their mouthwatering pulled pork that had everyone raving. Picture this: tender, smoky pulled pork piled high on soft buns, accompanied by a medley of zesty coleslaw and homemade BBQ sauce. It was comfort food at its finest, fueling the dance moves that would soon ensue!

Dancing Under the Stars

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the backyard transformed into a fairy tale. Strings of twinkling lights crisscrossed overhead, creating a warm glow that beckoned everyone to hit the dance floor. First came Brett and his mom followed by Amy and her dad.

Brett and Amy then shared their first dance as husband and wife - to Paramore’s Still Into You. 🥹

The night continued with Brett’s band (who have been together since high school!!!) hitting the stage. SO cool!

Cheers to Love

With heartfelt speeches and toasts that made everyone misty-eyed, the couple was surrounded by friends and family who supported them every step of the way. Their love story, intertwined with cherished memories, was a reminder of what truly matters.

As the night came to a close for me, I reflected on how their wedding was a perfect representation of who they are—loving, warm, and full of joy. Here’s to many more beautiful moments in their future! 🥂✨
