Intimate Wedding at the Grange Winery in Prince Edward County-Marc and Fiona
On a day filled with sunshine, anticipation, and love Marc and Fiona came together to celebrate their love and commitment to one another with their closest friends and family.
It’s hard to put into words the sheer beauty and calmness that surrounded M&F’s wedding. Calmness- now that’s not a word that is heard a lot when describing weddings, but M&F wanted a day that was just that, calm, relaxed and filled with the people they love oh yeah, and good food. ;) I could feel the love and joy for the happy couple brimming from every single guest. There were many happy tears shed throughout the beautiful ceremony that took place amongst the rolling vineyards at the Grange Winery.
M & F started their day out by getting ready together privately before arriving early to their wedding for family portraits that were planned to take place before the ceremony. After hugs, and hellos to family members we headed down to the beautiful ceremony space to take those keepsake family photos.
We continued on to wait for all the guests to arrive for some sips in the courtyard before the ceremony began. During this time I was delighted to capture many candid moments of the people closest to M&F. Speaking of “capturing” , there is a little pond by the courtyard that M&F’s nieces were playing by, I was photographing them in their own little world when we saw a frog hop out from the grass. Naturally I had to catch the frog and show the girls the slimy little critter! What a fun moment it was when they proceeded to take the little guy over to the guests, happily showing them their new little friend- don’t worry we put him back before the ceremony began.
M & F’s ceremony (officiated by John from Weddings by Karen)was followed by a cheers for the new couple, and then moved straight into time dedicated for friends and family. I stole them away for a quick 15 minutes of couples portraits during Golden hour, and then promptly returned them to all their guests. I then left them to indulge in the rest of their wedding celebration- quietly capturing memories for them as they unfolded before me.
What Marc and Fiona had to say about their wedding day experience, “We hired Mac for our September wedding and working with her was a dream. Not only are we thrilled with the photos but communication and professionalizing throughout the whole process was excellent. Mac’s friendly personality made all our family and friends (including two children) feel comfortable and made the experience fun. Mac was able to accomplish all of our photo request quickly (which was important to us) without compromising the quality. We would be pleased to hire Mac again for any of our future photography needs.”
