Rene & Marty | Steckle Farm Wedding | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

Picture
Rene and Marty's wedding at Steckle Heritage Farm was pretty neat. Marty is a firefighter and he was able to get a vintage firetruck to bring out to the farm on wedding day. After the ceremony had finished, the newlyweds walked away with sirens going on the old firetruck. It was different but it was really something... I got shivers.

Geoff & Thea | Burning Kiln Winery | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

​

Thea & Geoff's wedding at Burning Kiln Winery was one I'll remember for a long time. There was a speech at the reception, by Thea's stepdad, that had nearly every eye in the building blinking tears. This was a truly unique and emotional moment. The silence was stunning.

The wedding ceremony was on the lawn in front of the vines on a hot summer day. Photos were taken around the grounds at Burning Kiln. The reception was held right in the heart of the winery, where the magic happens.

This was a special day. It was a privilege to be part of it.​

Lisa & Josh | Slit Barn Wedding | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

Picture
Josh and Lisa got married in Cambridge, at a very cool venue along the river, just outside town. The Slit Barn is a restored stone barn that sits in a nature reserve called RARE. It's a beautiful spot. Fresh Look Design handled the decor and absolutely knocked it out of the park.

Wedding day was a perfect summer day. Lisa and Josh were beaming. I was really happy to be there for photos :)

Here's how it went...

Grace & Michael | Wedding | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

It was a day that was all their own...

Grace and Michael got married in Stratford. Their wedding ceremony was at the beautiful Knox Presbyterian Church in downtown Stratford. Wedding party photos happened around the church and near the river that runs through town. Grace and the ladies got ready at the nearby Albert Street Inn.

Grace is a math major who really digs numbers. She's known among her friends for sporting a calculator watch. You can see it made an appearance in their engagement photos. Michael got her a newer, fancier watch for the wedding :)

Sean & Sarah | Toronto City Hall Wedding | Balzac's Reception

7/5/2016

Comments

 
Sarah and Sean got married at Toronto City Hall, in an intimate ceremony with family and close friends. It was perfect. Afterwards they invited a larger group to join them for a reception jam at the Balzac's Coffee shop near their condo. It was a neat space that was filled with great people. The walls echoed with their laughter. They cried and danced and cheered in celebration of those newly wed. I was so happy to be there to get the wedding into photos.

A Cottage Wedding on the Moon River in Bala

Picture
Heading to Bala in late August is such a good feeling. August is my favourite time of year and being in Muskoka is just the best. This particular weekend was as great as they come.

Dawson & Alanna asked me to come up and take photos at their wedding. It was held at a family cottage on the Moon River in Bala. What a great place for a wedding :)

Wedding Photos at The Arboretum and Blue Springs Golf Club

'Twas a gorgeous day in August. I made my way over to Guelph to take photos for Trevor and Jocelyn. Their parents live on the same street - the guys got ready on the south side and the girls on the north. This is the first look in the backyard...
Picture
Picture
Picture
After the first look the wedding party took a limo over to The Arboretum for photos. I love this place :)

Amy & Graham get Married at the Family Farm

Picture
These are the highlights from Amy & Graham's wedding at Braeside - the family farm. I arrived early and had the pleasure of taking a quick tour around the farm with Amy's dad. He filled me in on the history of the place, which was great. It was nice to know some of the story.

Throughout the day, as people spoke of the farm and all the memories centered there, the picture I had formed of Braeside grew - I had a sense of the laughs and tears the walls had seen, the generations that had walked the earth there and swum in the cool, spring fed pond by the willow.

I knew by the end of the day that Amy and Graham's wedding was the next chapter in the history of Braeside. Here's how it went down.
Picture
before the guests arrived, Graham and Amy met for a first look under the big old willow by the pond...

Amanda & Brennan's Wedding in Kitchener

Picture
Brennan & Amanda got married at Steckle Heritage Farm in Kitchener (I love this place!). I started off my day with the ladies and then headed over to the farm.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
You wouldn't know it from the photos, but it poured rain right before the ceremony. This was not a little sprinkle of rain... it was a torrent dropped from a big angry thundercloud. The good folks at Steckle got the ceremony quickly moved from the orchard to inside the barn and everything went off without a hitch :)
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
By the time the ceremony was over, the day was hot and sunny... the remnants of the earlier weather made for some dramatic skies.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

The food was created by Little Mushroom Catering, who knocked it right out of the park - the supper was outstanding.

After the meal Brennan had a song for Amanda...

Chris & Pam's Wedding in Avening

Picture
Pam and Chris got married in a tiny little town on the route up to Collingwood, a place called Avening. It's not much more than a few houses and this old hall - The Avening Hall.

The hall has a quite a history, dating back over a hundred years when it served as a gathering place for the local farmers. Walking through the doors feels a little like stepping back in time a generation or two.

The Avening Hall is still a hub for locals, regularly hosting quality bands (Neko Case, The Sadies, Hayden, Sarah Harmer and lots more) alongside community BBQ's. It's a pretty neat place - stop in if you find yourself passing by.
Picture
Tucked away, across the road and just a few driveways down, is this amazing little park. Pam and Chris got married beside the river. It was a hot sunny summer day... a perfect day for a wedding in the park.

Jess & Jason's Rustic Wedding in Kitchener

Jessica and Jason got married on July 4, at Steckle Heritage Farm in Kitchener. Here's a look at the day...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Jason & Jess nailed the wedding décor at Steckle. They had some great ideas and talented friends and the result was a really nice space.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Jessica chose to add a tag from the family dog's collar to her bouquet. Deuce had been in the family home for thirteen years but sadly he passed away not too long before the wedding. You can see him in Jess & Jason's engagement photos.
Picture
The ceremony was in the apple orchard at Steckle on a brilliant sunny day...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The barns and sheds and old outbuildings make Steckle an amazing spot for wedding party portraits...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We stopped to play some lawn games, including giant Jenga, which sometimes goes well and sometimes... well, not so much.
Picture
Picture
This next one is probably my favourite photo from the wedding...
Picture
Picture
Picture
The reception was in the old barn, a warm place, well used and well loved...

Winter Wedding Photos in Cambridge with Allison & Ross

Picture
Allison & Ross have something special going on... it's not hard to pick up once you spend a little time with them. There is a joy about these two that is completely contagious. Honestly... my smiling muscles were exhausted by the end of the day.

They got married at Whistle Bear Golf Club in Cambridge - a recently renovated venue that is set to host some fairly prestigious events this coming year. The design of the place accentuated the emotions of the guests, wedding party and family in just the right way.

It's special to be part of something special... I felt great just being around these guys on wedding day. I hope the energy comes through clearly in the photos. Here are my favourites...

A Winter Wedding in Niagara-On-The-Lake

Dale and Sarah got married at The Pillar and Post, in Niagara-On-The-Lake, just after Christmas. The hotel was all decked out for the holidays, which blended beautifully with the red and white themed wedding that Sarah and Dale had planned. It started snowing big chunky snowflakes at the perfect moment for a few of the photos. The venue was spot on, the décor perfectly fitting and everyone was glowing in the christmas lights. Sarah wore her mother's pearls.

I spent most of the day behind the camera, covering the goings-on from makeup until reception. These are my favourite photos from Dale and Sarah's winter wedding...

Summer Wedding Photos Featured on Today's Bride

Picture
Steph and Chad's wedding this summer in Muskoka was the best. A great group of friends and family attended a beautiful ceremony on a summer day that was exactly the kind of day you hope for. The wedding party was stunning... Chad and the lads were dashing and Steph and her ladies could not have been more radiant.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that some of the wedding photos were to be featured on Today's Bride. You can find them here. It's not a done deal yet, but it looks like some of the photos may be featured in the print magazine next summer as well!

You can find more of photos from Steph and Chad's wedding on my blog.
