Cassandra and Terry {Muskoka Wedding Photographer}

They worried it wouldn't be warm enough.  They worried the ice wouldn't have melted yet. They worried there may even be snow still on the ground.  For months, as winter seemed like it would never leave us, Cassandra and Terry worried about their dockside May wedding.

It turns out they didn't need to worry at all.

Terry and Cassandra were married on a gorgeous sunny day in Muskoka, on the dock at Rocky Crest Resort.  Surrounded by friends and family that were literally buzzing with excitement, they said their vows to each other, knowing that even if the weather hadn't been perfect, they wouldn't have cared.  They just wanted to marry each other.

Congratulations, Cassandra and Terry!  Thank you so much for choosing us to document your day.

Be sure to head over to my Facebook page and leave me some love, and maybe I'll post a few more images there ...

Winter Wedding Photography Inspiration {Muskoka Wedding Photography)

I adore winter weddings.  They can be so much fun!  Don't be afraid to get cold, and I promise you we won't let your dress get dirty.  

Claudia and Mark, in the photo above, were married years ago at The Northridge Inn & Resort, and it's still one of my favourite examples of rocking a winter wedding in Muskoka.  Mark & Claudia were married on the pier above in an outdoor ceremony, with their family and friends surrounding them.  Everyone, including the bride, bundled up.  Hand warmers and blankets were given out.  I'm not going to lie, it was a cold day in March - but as soon as the wedding itself started, no one noticed the weather.    They were too busy paying attention to Claudia and Mark, standing on a frozen lake, saying their vows in a way that was so true to them.

Sherwood Inn Wedding Muskoka - Cristy and Mike

Cristy and Mike knew they wanted to get married, and nothing would stop them.  Not a fire at the originally booked venue, and certainly not a little bit of rain during their vows.  Chilly weather?  They didn't even notice.  

Cristy walked down the aisle, umbrella in hand, with only one thought - standing beside Mike to tell him how much she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life.

Their Sherwood Inn wedding was perfect - hand made rustic decor was spread everywhere, and little touches hidden in every nook and cranny.  

Congratulations, Cristy & Mike!  I'm so honoured that when it came time to choose your photographer, it didn't even cross your mind to go with anyone else.  You, and your families, were so amazing to work with, and I was so lucky to end my 2012 season on such a high note.

Northridge Inn Wedding Muskoka - Heather and Eric

It wasn't exactly how they planned - their family and friends were there, it was relaxed and low key, it was sunny ... but it was windy.  Windier than it's been in a long time.  The chairs along the long dock of their ceremony site almost blew away.  Hair got messed up.  Programs took off in the wind.  But Heather didn't care.  The windy walk down that dock barely registered as she focused on the man waiting for her at the end.

Not only is the dock at the Northridge Inn and Resort in Muskoka one of my favourite ceremony spots, but the owners and staff are some of the friendliest I've come across.  They do my favourite kind of weddings exceptionally well - relaxed, laid back and natural, making it easy to concentrate on the reason for being there.  That's what matters.

As always, Terry from Scotia Entertainment was the only DJ for the job.  Who else could easily manage multiple rooms AND a ceremony on a fifty foot dock on an insanely windy day?

Congratulations, Heather & Eric!

Allison & Andrew's Wedding | Windermere House, Muskoka

A gorgeous day. A historical landmark resort in Muskoka. Loving friends. Excited family. Allison & Andrew.

Allison & Andrew's wedding at Windermere House in Muskoka was amazing in every way. From the moment we arrived, before Allison put on her gorgeous Oscar de la Renta gown, until way after their first dance on the stone porch of Windermere House, their day was nothing short of casual elegance.

Thank you, Andrew & Allison, for inviting me to be part of your gorgeous day in Muskoka!
