A Canadian Photographer

Posts tagged ‘Gravenhurst Wedding Photographers’

Maybe you’ve heard? If you’re a Canadian Bride or on my Facebook page you may have recently seen that Muskoka has been voted among the TOP 10 Wedding Destinations in the world by bride.com. The WORLD! If you’ve been to Muskoka, have a cottage, know someone who has cottage, visited the area, just driven through – you know why it’s been voted the best! Water, sunshine, sailboats, sandy beaches, holiday resorts…you won’t find this unique brand of dedication to the ‘summer holiday’ anywhere else in the world. So I’d like to welcome you to the heart of Muskoka. Taboo Resort – Golf Course and Spa represents what it is to be ‘in Muskoka’. The combination of modern luxury and natural living, is it!

Melissa, who is originally from this part of Ontario couldn’t really imagine being married anywhere else. Her and Reggie created a pretty spectacular Destination Wedding weekend for their families. From all of Melissa’s Etsy.com and handmade details, to a live Intervention – hosted by the groomsmen, to their actor, model, comedian MC – who played the crowd like I’ve never seen, and most importantly their friends/club DJ’s who also played the crowd as I’d never seen. I always shoot from the middle of the dance floor..dancing and shooting. not this time. I couldn’t get in on any of it. This was the most crowded dance floor I’ve ever seen. And the music? Well let’s just say I felt right at home in their wild combination of remixed Top 40 and grade-8-public-school dance anthems. LOVED!

Thank you to my dear friend and often second shooter Dave of Dave Sloan Photography based in Toronto and my newest shooter Myranada.

If you’re a beautiful yogini (Moksha Yoga in Thornhill) and a super-duper-enthusiastic canoe tripper (that’s the mild version) living life in Muskoka where would you have your engagement session? ‘A Chip truck‘ is the obvious answer. Kind of a no-brainer. After fries you head to the cottage and hop in the canoe – again, obvious. Not sure I need to say too much more about these beauties – filled with love and compassion for each other, shooting them was easy and felt natural. They are deep and dynamic and full of kindness. My entire family may have a couple-crush on them. Last night my little Charlie couldn’t take his eyes off her. Their destination wedding is coming up in just 2 weeks. More trees, more yoga, open water, all over 3 days of sweet celebrations!

Muskoka’s Cottage Country is where family dreams are made of, where young couples raise their sweet summer families and where those kids eventually come to play and be married. This is the case with Sarah and Adam.

There is a long driveway at the end of a winding dirt road, on the far side of town. They have an old cottage, a new boathouse, and an antique cedar boat. There is a long history and shared property…and of course they will have their wedding here. In true Muskoka style their wedding day will be a mix of old family history, a rustic and romantic outdoor ceremony and a beautiful reception at the Muskoka Bay Club. This was a morning full of sweet and awkward giggles, some beer – but never enough, and a little bit of ‘making out in a field’. Loved photographing these two beauties.

I love this bride! Christine didn’t actually find me on her own, it was another Muskoka photographer whom she inquired with that gave her my name. And I’m thrilled she did. Christine is my kind-a-girl. She’s just a little wild, slightly crass, totally up front and honest. She’s loving, kind, funny, playful…and the sense of humour her and Mike share is unmistakably and unapologetically lewd. I love being around them. After a surprise boudoir session in the winter and later, an engagement session at Deerhurst Resort in the spring shooting their entire wedding day in Huntsville, from start to finish was just the icing on the cake.

Christine and Mike, I have loved laughing with you, photographing you and getting to know all of your quirks. It will be my pleasure photographing your family in the future and introducing you to mine. See you both soon – but not soon enough. xoxo

And to Ms. Liz Lott of Snapdragon Photography – you are a total joy to work with. You images never disappoint and as usual I’m looking forward to our wedding day in Muskoka.

Renee and Trevor! Such a joy to work with from day 1 (their winter engagement session). This was my first wedding of the busy season and I couldn’t have imagined jumping in with anyone else. It feels like these two are family which makes documenting their wedding pretty special.

April was a wild month up north, from the floods in Muskoka to unseasonably cold temperatures in North Bay. We were expecting snow, floods, overcast skies, freezing bridesmaids, the works. Instead this wedding day saw a giggling wedding party, blue skies, maybe a skiff of snow, a handful of lambs, and a Harlem Shake. It was what all wedding days should be; full of support, true love, laughs and some wicked little gifts from mother nature.

Much love to you both. Can’t wait until next time.

Thank you to my friend Kim of Authentic Glow Photography! She was huge asset. Loved having you there, Kim.
