Julie and Brandon were married on a beautiful fall day in Southern Ontario. Mike and I started out in a cloud of hair spray and flurry of bridesmaids at Julies house.
We then popped on over to Brandons house for a quick couple of shots. The groomsmen figured out their boutonnieres and
posed for an important shot in Brandon’s dad’s motorcycle, complete with a
purple socked tribute to a much loved man.
Speaking of a much loved man, I have a soft spot for daddy’s
and daughters on the wedding day, and these two shots are two of my favourites of the day.
The church ceremony took place at the beautiful Cathedral of St Catherine of Alexandria, the same place that Julies parents and brother were both married in.
In this shot, Mike replicated the same photograph that was taken by Julies parents photographer, back in the day.
The group photos were taken at the beautiful Royal BotanicalGardens in Queenston. There were so many amazing spots to take pictures here, we could have spent hours there, it was perfect. Plus, we are always grateful when it’s raining just a little bit, because the
greenery is always so much more vibrant and lush looking.
As Julie and Brandon met at a golf tournament, it was
fitting for us to get a couple of shots on the nearby golf course.
Next, we headed off to the beautiful Queenston Heights for an intimate dinner party and reception. During the cocktail hour, the bride
and groom surprised their guests with a special war of 1812 presentation, put
on by the fine folks at Queenston Heights. The guests were delighted and Mike
was able to get some really unique shots, these guys were so cool!
After a delicious dinner and dessert (where I was introduced
to Crème Brulee for the first time and have now commenced a true love story
with it…delicious!), it was time for the speeches & dancing. This little dude is not only imitating the cute monster on his pj's, but he totally drops down to the ground for some very intense break dancing.

| dress shoes and pj's? so cute! |
Finally, Julie and Brandon danced together to
The Luckiest, by Ben Folds (Mike and I had chosen the same one for
our first dance tooJ
).
We had such a great time hanging out with Brandon and Julie and we know these two
are going to have a beautiful life together!
You rarely think photo's can give an occasion justice. You have accomplished more than that.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. They make me feel just as I remember feeling that day watching my brother marry the love of his life.
