Ingrid + Vince Wedding - Delta Hotels by Marriott

My second last wedding of the year was a family affair, which is was a nice change of pace. That doesn’t mean it was an easy day though. I still worked just as hard, if not harder, than my usual wedding days. With that being said, it was really nice knowing a lot of people at a wedding.

Ingrid and Vince decided to have their wedding at the always beautiful Delta Hotel right on the Marina waterfront. As with most weddings, my day started with the boys in their hotel room. They were pretty laid back which meant for a nice variety of candid moments. After I was done with them, I spent a lot more time with the ladies getting ready. Some of my favourite photos from the day took place during that time span.

I was then back with the guys outside, where we then made our way to the far end of the marina to get some portraits and eventually the first look. It wasn’t long before Ingrid and the rest of her crew walked from the hotel to meet us at the spot. I got in position and ended up getting some really special photos of the first look. Some smiles and happy tears.

We spent a bit of time after that, doing all the wedding party photos. After we were done there everyone headed back to the hotel to get ready for the ceremony. The ceremony itself was short and sweet, but filled with so much emotion. I think Vince cried more than Ingrid which was very sweet.

A short time later, once the room was done being turned over, the guests started to arrive for the reception. I love how the room looked and you could really see all the hard work and attention to detail that was put into it.

Ingrid, Vince and the wedding party all dressed up as Avengers for their wedding entrance, was quite the surprise for all the guests. It wasn’t so much the entrance that I enjoyed the most, it was all the photos I took as they were preparing. So much fun!

The rest of the reception went by very fast. The obvious highlight was the professional dancers Ingrid and Vince got to perform for the guests. They then both joined along with everyone else and the night of dancing was in full swing. Ingrid and Vince put on such an amazing wedding and I was glad to be a part of it.

Jennifer + Les Wedding - Delta Hotel Thunder Bay

The Delta Hotel was once again the latest location for a recent wedding I captured. Jennifer and Les were the beautiful bride and groom this time around, and it ended up being a very memorable and fun day. My day started about an hour before the ceremony which gave me some time to capture the details of the ballroom and some of the arriving guests.

Before I knew it, everyone was sitting down and anxiously awaiting the Jennifer and Les to make their way down the aisle. It was a very sweet ceremony, and capturing some of the reactions of the crowd, you could tell everyone in attendance were very happy for the couple.

Shortly after the ceremony finished up the wedding party, and a few of the closest family members headed down to the nearby Marina. Before returning back to the reception, Jennifer and Les spent a short amount of time with me getting some photos of just them amongst the gorgeous backdrop.

The rest of the night went by very fast for me. The food was amazing, the speeches were great and of course, the dancing, once it began, resulted in many spontaneous photos. I couldn’t have asked for better couple to photograph!
