To be honest, this was a ceremony I manifested - it’s precisely the energy I am drawn to. Imagine New Year’s Eve by a frozen lake, everyone excitedly dressed in black and white for the occasion, disco balls casually placed throughout @bonnieviewinnresort and you will know why I was beyond excited to be there for M&J. Did I mention the fireworks as they made their way back down the aisle? To share in these moments, and for couples to say the loveliest things about the experience, is genuinely a dream for someone like me. Thank you @marleegadway for trusting me, @kaylagardiner for the attention to detail @bonnieviewinnresort and @caitlindunlopphoto for capturing all the vibes. Xo
It’s nearly above zero, can we get excited about lakeside ceremonies yet? This perfect day on Lake Cecebe last summer, on the dock, surrounded by friends and family is the energy I’m desperate for. Thank you @maddiechef for trusting me with your ceremony, and @katieobrienphotography for being my partner on days like this. Xo
Don’t mind me, just over here manifesting Tobermory elopement ceremonies. This was such a perfect day and I would love to experience the joy again! Please reach out if you are looking at these photos and wishing you were there…because you can be. Thank you @t__page - I loved being there for you both, and thank you @brendanjoelphotography for capturing these incredible moments. Xo
I have made so many wonderful friends from the fellow vendors I’ve worked with over the years. Honestly, the very best people, and this is one of them. Jess of @hyggebloomflorals and I have collaborated on countless weddings, but only met for the first time yesterday at @wedwellsimcoemuskoka. Wedding day schedules are such that our paths never crossed! What a joy to meet in person and have some time together. It’s worth noting that her floral work is exceptional. Highly recommend!Lovely creative people are my people. Xo
Just making it legal over here. The process of getting married is fairly straightforward from a legal perspective. You both apply for your Ontario marriage licence, you’ll be given a date to pick it up, and you bring that with you to the ceremony for signing. I arrive early to fill in some details as well as copy information into my blue book (back up). We sign, along with your two witnesses, and make it official. Following the ceremony, you keep your signed Record of Solemnisation, and I post your licence to register your marriage with the province. I will also send you an email with details to order your marriage certificate online (legal proof of your marriage). You are legally married following the ceremony, but it’s going to take the government some time to catch up and produce your marriage certificate (about 12 weeks!). Not the most romantic moment of the day, but obviously an important one. K&S’s elopement along the Bruce Trail made for a beautiful back drop! Xo
Unpopular opinion lately, but winter is beautiful! If it’s the season when you feel most yourself, and love being surrounded by the calm and quiet energy of nature when it’s sleeping - you may want a winter wedding. Whether it’s a big celebration or an intimate elopement, let the season you choose be part of the story. Stunning photo by @celestejusticephotography

When K&D discovered this rocky amphitheatre on their property here in Kawartha Lakes, they knew it would be the perfect place for their wedding. They worked incredibly hard to reveal the space, create room for guests, and navigate a trail through the woods to get there. It was so worth it. As guests made their way to the ceremony space they found themselves contained in this magical cocoon. And I can tell you the view from up there was impressive. This is definitely one of the more remarkable settings I’ve married couples in. Shout out to the lovely groomsman who helped me down! If you are captivated by this setting, K&D are in the process of making this space available to other couples to get married. Let me know if you’d like to be connected. What a joy to be there with you @kaylea_fitzpatrick! Grateful to share the day with @beyond.photography.mm who always captures the energy of the moment xo
Happy Galentine’s Day! Weddings are obviously a celebration of love, and that means they are also a celebration of friendship. For these big moments in life, we want our favourite people right there with us. I love seeing the big smiles as your friends make their way down the aisle, just like they did for C&J last summer. This was a perfect day @campedenwoods with the sun shining, and children and dogs happily roaming. The energy was JOYFUL! Grateful that I get to be right there and part of it, and love that @jessleephoto was there to capture all the wonderful moments like this one. Thank you @chantelle_sewell xo. #campwedding #haliburtonwedding
I well and truly get so emotional when I read the reviews couples leave me. How can I not? This day was an absolute Hallmark movie and I am so grateful that M&C trusted me to be there for them. Xo
My ceremonies are handmade, and rooted in your story. It’s easy to get swept up in cliches when we talk about love and marriage, so it’s important to make sure that your ceremony not only shares your story, but also captures the tone of your relationship. It should just sound like you, it should feel like you, too. This was a genuinely perfect day for E&A. Xo
