As the wedding season winds down I am really cherishing the last few that I have. Luckily, my latest wedding was at yet another location which I have never photographed before. And, the weather was great, as usual. Stepstone Centre, which is located just north of Thunder Bay on Onion Lake Road, was where Tim and Alicia chose to have their wedding. As soon as you arrive, you notice the long driveway leading to the main house accompanied by a smaller guest house. Everything is surrounded by a huge forest.
Read MoreAlisha + Derek Wedding
After an engagement shoot at Chippewa Park a few works prior, it was time for the real thing. As soon as I arrived I made my way to the cabin where Alisha and her bridesmaids were getting ready. I took some elegant photos of the dress as well as some candid photos of everyone getting ready. With a bit of time to spare I then made my way to the ceremony area. It was located right by the water in behind the main cabin in a beautiful setting.
Read MoreRachel + AJ Wedding
When Rachael & AJ contacted me to photograph their wedding at Silver Harbour I could not wait to do so. It is a very beautiful area, especially this time of year. The location of the wedding was at house right on Lake Superior. As guests gathered and mingled by the waterfront I began taking candid photos right away. We also did some group shots while we waited for Rachael to get ready.
Read MoreMelissa + Robert Wedding
Melissa & Robert decided to have their wedding at their parent’s place just off Mud Lake Road. It was just a bit north of Murillo. Going in, I didn’t know what I expect, other then what Melissa and Robert told me about the location. I was blown away by the entire property. Upon entering, there was a huge gate with a sign on it indicating the marriage of Melissa and Robert. You can see it by scanning through the photos below.
Read MoreAya + Denis Wedding
Mission Marsh in Thunder Bay was once again the setting for yet another portrait session. This time around it was with Aya and Dennis. They got married earlier in the day and wanted me to spend an hour taking some post wedding photos.
Read MoreChellsea + Chris Wedding
It was yet another beautiful day for a wedding. This time around it was Chris and Chellsea getting married. The ceremony was the first thing on the agenda and it took place at the Slovak Legion in the east end of Thunder Bay. This is yet another location I have never photographed at so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. It ended up being perfect for a ceremony. It took place indoors but it was in a room on the side of the hall with a lot of skylights which allowed for tons of natural light.
Read MoreShelly + Paul Wedding
Shelly & Paul celebrated their wedding at Whitewater Golf Course in Thunder Bay. This was my first time photographing at this venue, so as always, I was very excited for the wedding date to arrive. The day was bright, sunny and hot. Luckily there was some shade on the outside deck where the ceremony took place. As all the guests slowly arrived there was a cellist playing music in the background.
Read MoreJen + Dustin Wedding
My first out of town wedding of the year took me to Fort Frances. This was the first time I shot a wedding in this city. I was very anxious to do so because I have really wanted to explore the city for some time now. I arrived early in the afternoon which gave me a small amount of time to scope out the ceremony location as well as some spots in the city which we would eventually be using.
Read MoreBob + Michelle Wedding
The location for this engagement photo session was the Marina. Bob and Michelle, like most couples, were a bit unsure as to what they had gotten themselves into. After the first few photos were taken though they immediately relaxed and had a great time. I just told them to sit back let me do all the work and act natural.
Read MoreKim + Glynn Wedding
Not too many people have winter weddings, especially in Thunder Bay, but this one was different. Kim and Glynn approached me to shoot their short and intimate wedding at the Thunder Bay Conservatory, which is a fantastic setting for a wedding.
Read MoreErika + Stephen Wedding
The last wedding of the summer was my second one in a row at Crystal Beach, a small waterfront cottage community just outside of Thunder Bay. Friends of the family let Erica and Stephen use their house and and enormous backyard for the ceremony. After a short but sweet ceremony guests and family mingled and enjoyed the great weather and appetizers.
Read MoreJessica + Billy Wedding
It’s been a very busy summer for weddings, but I was anxious as ever to photograph a small wedding at Crystal Beach. It was another amazing venue. The ceremony took place right on the rocks by the lake. After a 10 minute walk down the dirt road, everyone eventually found a place on the rocks. It was then Jessica’s turn to make her entrance with her father. Holding hands, they slowly made their way to the crowd and to her future husband, Billy.
