Picture
Steckle Heritage Farm is one of the great places in Waterloo Region to have a wedding. The grounds and buildings provide a picturesque backdrop for rustic weddings (and weddings of all sorts really... you can do the place up!). I absolutely love photographing at this place:)

Engagement Photos | Huron Natural Area | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

11/19/2019

Picture
On one of the last really perfect fall days this year, Lauren + Matt and I went for a walk through one of Kitchener's best parks - Huron Natural Area. This is a big space with water, forest and meadows... lots of different looks. On this particular fall day, there was a soft gold sunset and beautiful colours in the trees.

Elora Gorge Engagement Photos | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

11/4/2019

Picture
I was super excited to go out for these photos with Emma + Lukas. This summer I went camping a few times with my family and on one of our trips we stayed right beside the Elora Gorge. As we walked along stretches of the gorge I saw some great locations for photos (so many...). So anyways, fall comes around and Emma + Lukas and I start talking engagement photos. They told me they wanted to get out into nature... so I suggested we go check out some of these spots along the gorge that I'd hiked earlier in the season with my family. They liked the idea and we got a magnificent fall day for the shoot. I'm super stoked with how these came out:)

R+J Family Photos | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

8/26/2019

 
Picture
A few weeks ago I spent some time with Robin + Jaron and their family. This shoot was a special one... I`ve photographed R+J four times now - their engagement and wedding and their family after the arrival of each of their two beautiful kids. I met them at their home in Kitchener and spent some time in the back yard... playing without any shoes on, enjoying the summer air, getting a little bit of life with wee ones into pictures:)

Picture
Eitan and Carly are getting married in June in an intimate park wedding in Toronto. Eitan is one of the brightest and most genuine people I know and has been a good friend of mine since we attended University of Guelph together. He and Carly seem perfectly suited for each other:) I feel so privileged to be part of their wedding celebration... photos from the wedding will be out mid-summer. For their engagement photos, I met Carly and Eitan in Guelph, the city where they first met, where everything began:)

Black Swan Styled Wedding at Revival House

1/14/2019

 
Picture
Wedding Styling isn't magic, though when it works it looks that way. Styling is a culmination of efforts. It's the combined work of florists, hair + makeup stylists, designers, models and creators of beautiful paper. The cool thing is... it all comes together in a photo. This shoot at Revival House in Stratford was one of the highlights of 2018 for me. The venue is a converted church and there's lots of very cool features to work with - stained glass, big lights, balconies. We photographed outside as well and it snowed during the shoot... big white snow flakes for a Black Swan shoot.

​The photos start behind the scenes, then show the tablescape put together by Fresh Look Design (they're the masterminds behind this shoot). Then come the portraits:)

The ruby ring in the first photo is real. Ainsley Poirier is the lead designer/genius at Fresh Look... the ring is her grandma's:)

This shoot is currently featured in The Wedding Ring magazine - @theweddingring.ca

Venue: The Slit Barn (Fresh Look Design handles booking + decor)
Floral: From the Potting Shed
​
I knew that this wedding was going to be one of my favourites of 2018. Brian and Cara and I took a trip to the beach for their engagement photos and I knew then that we'd get along just fine on wedding day. On wedding day, the skies were friendly and Slit Barn was looking gorgeous, as usual. Brian and Cara were beaming and I was happy to be in the mix.

Ancaster Mill Wedding | Krystyna + Colin

11/23/2018

 
Picture
Krystyna + Colin got married in Guelph at the historic Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate. The church is a special place for Krystyna's family (and a gorgeous place for photos). After the ceremony, we headed to The Ancaster Mill for wedding photos and the reception. The Mill is another historic venue with lots of great views. I'm pretty pumped with how the photos came out:)

Picture
Hayley + Dan got married at Steckle Heritage Farm on a breezy day in September. The wedding ceremony was in Steckle's historic orchard. Portraits were taken on the grounds at the farm (and at the hotel before the ceremony). This was a fun one to be part of... H+D were beaming all day and I love being around to catch that kind of love in pictures:)

Picture
Shannon + Dylan got married in Downtown Guelph, at the Basilica of Our Lady, a venue that is just magic. The art and the windows are really something else. After the ceremony we took photos at the church and at the covered bridge. Stellar parking maneuvers by the limo driver to get us to the bridge. Seriously stellar. Shannon + Dylan were beaming all day. These two really have it:)

Tim + Kathleen are downtown Kitchener people. They live downtown, work downtown, run downtown... (well... that last one is more a Kathleen thing!) They're getting married at The Walper Hotel and wanted to keep the downtown vibe going for engagement photos. We hit up Victoria Park on a perfect summer evening. The bench is where the went for one of their first ever dates:)

Slit Barn Wedding | Maria + David | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

7/9/2018

 
David and Maria got married at The Slit Barn in Cambridge. The ceremony was planned for outdoors, but was moved into the barn due to rain. Then the rain let up. Everyone pitched in to help move the chairs back outside and everything went off as planned. It was exciting to see it all come together:) Fresh Look Design handled decor and was amazing at handling all the last minute changes. The photos are on site at Slit Barn and on the nearby trails.

Waterloo Region Museum Wedding | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

Natalie + Jeff
January 2018
Venue: Eastwood Fellowship Church and Waterloo Region Museum

Natalie and Jeff's wedding was a special one for me to photograph. Natalie's parents and my parents were good friends years ago when my family lived in Cambridge, so there were some familiar faces in the crowd on wedding day. I was happy to have the chance to say hello to some quality people that I hadn't seen in a very long time :)
But this day wasn't about the good old times, it was about the coming together of an amazing couple. Natalie and Jeff were ready to start on their own adventure and I was thrilled to be part of the celebration.

Steph & Higy + Elliott | Family | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

Picture
Steph and Higy love food, beer and downtown Kitchener. They've been frequenting B@Museum since it before it was B. It's one of their favourite spots and not much has changed since Elliott came along. He's just past 8 months old now and he too loves going out downtown for beers. Here are some of my favourites from a very fun session (how can it not be when there's craft pints involved!)

Cara & Brian | Engagement | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

11/3/2017

 
Picture
Brian and Cara got engaged at Pinery Provincial Park, on the beach. We decided to go back there for photos. We started off walking through the woods where they hiked on the day they got engaged, then we went down to the beach and revisited the place where Brian proposed. It was a warm fall evening, just barely warm enough to dip your toes in the waters of Lake Huron.
