Danielle and Steven’s Rustic Lakeside Wedding

Posted in weddings & engagements

Have you ever seen a gorgeous rustic lakeside wedding turn into a trash the dress session in the same day?  Where the bride, groom, and photographer jumped into the lake after the reception and got some awesome photos? Well you are about to! Not only that, but this wedding was chop full of DIY (do it yourself) details, lace, burlap, and gorgeousness! I can’t wait to share it with you! It was a peaceful summer day next to lake Ontario. It was pouring in the morning but the sun came out just in time.  I’ll start by showing you some of the lovely details from the day!2013-01-01_018 2013-01-01_021 2013-01-01_019 2013-01-01_012 2013-01-01_020

She is always coming up with something funny and witty to say. On this particular day she was so calm, happy, and relaxed. It really set the mood for the whole day. Also I have to say she looked absolutely breath taking on her wedding day.

They compliment each other. Also when you are around them it’s just so obvious how in love they are with each other. It’s just oozing from them! They decided to do the “first look” which resulted in some great pictures.

After doing the first look we went to do some bridal party pictures. I had a lot of fun with this crew! Also we had a lot of time to do portraits (2+ hours!) which is awesome. We were able to go to three different locations.

And for the moment you have all waited for…when we jumped into the lake! I love that they wanted to do this. Don’t worry we didn’t have to swim. The water went up to our waists. It was so much fun. We got some irreplaceable pictures as well.2013-01-01_071 2013-01-01_073 2013-01-01_074 2013-01-01_072 2013-01-01_075 2013-01-01_076

 

I had such a wonderful time photographing this wedding. I wish them a lifetime of happiness and love! What an absolutely blessed day.
