Kurtz Orchards Wedding Photos | Randy + Jovy

December 10, 2016

Randy and Jovy’s Niagara Vineyard Wedding at Kurtz Orchards was a day full of heart.
You could feel the sweet love these two share, as well as so much warmth in the love of their family and friends.
This was especially evident during speeches, when tears were flowing anywhere you looked. So touching.
Kurtz Orchards is such a scenic place for wedding photography – Not only is there the beauty of the vineyard (vineyard weddings are so lovely as it is!), but they have a historic house for getting ready, an orchard for an outdoor ceremony, a tent for an outdoor reception (yay, natural light!), and the most AMAZING sunset on their horizon! The warm fiery glow was absolutely perfect for some magical sunset shots.
Here are some snaps from their happy Kurtz Orchards wedding day <3

Niagara Wedding at Pillar and Post Hotel

January 1, 2016

Marissa and Sean are just cute as a button.
Their love is so, so sweet.
When they speak to each other, not only do you hear the words they say, but you witness them expressing from their heart. Truly – you can see that they are connected on a soul-level. There is a deepness about their partnership that is so moving.
Their wedding occurred just as Fall was ending – The Pillar and Post Hotel had their halls decked with a gigantic, magical Christmas tree, which made the day feel all the more special.
Here are some snaps from these high school sweethearts’ Niagara-on-the-Lake wedding <3

A little bit about where you met?
We were lucky enough to meet each other in highschool actually, so we’ve really grown up together. Since then, we’ve been together for over eight years – it’s been quite the adventure!

What was the style/vibe of your wedding, and why did you choose to make it that way?
Because our family and friends are so important to us, we really wanted to focus on keeping the celebration small and intimate. It was absolutely incredible to share the day with our nearest and dearest – the outpouring of love from everyone on that day was extraordinary!

What made you choose to have your wedding in the season you did?
Both of us loved the idea of getting married when there was a chill in the air. It just felt so romantic to light a fire and dozens of candles and cozy up for the evening!

What was your favourite wedding moment (bride & groom)?
Our first look was a really special moment for both of us. It was so exciting and emotional to see each other for the first time on our wedding day, knowing that day was the start of our married lives together!

Any advice for engaged couples planning their wedding?
My hope for all couples planning their wedding is that they focus on the love that the two of them share and are surrounded by the people they love most. It will truly be a magical day!

Warmest congratulations again, Marissa & Sean!!

Niagara Vineyard Wedding – Laura & Zach

January 11, 2015

Laura and Zach’s Niagara vineyard wedding was set against the most spectacular and romantic setting – the gorgeous green rows of grapes touched by the golden sun made us feel like we were in a dream.

Laura’s attention to detail brought the beauty inside the reception tent, as lovely mis-matched yet co-ordinating vessels held an unexpected and totally fresh array of florals, and each plate was adorned with an adorable burlap and lace pouch which housed home-made caramels as a ‘Thank You’ to guests.

The whole vibe of the day felt so beautiful – amongst the days I’m sure we’ll all remember fondly as one of those epic Summer memories that we’ll never want to let go.

There was so much happiness, warmth and love that day, and the gorgeous setting mirrored how we all felt.

Here’s a look at Laura and Zach’s beautiful wedding at Ravine Vineyard… And be sure to read some words about the big day from the couple themselves at the bottom of the post!

… And here are some words about these lovebirds and some of their advice to engaged couples:

Q: Tell us a bit about your love story?

A: We were originally introduced through friends during University. With both of us at different schools and living in different cities and with no physical introduction, we continued on our separate paths. It wasn’t until July 4th, 2010 on a random Sunday, that we decided to meet up in Toronto on a whim. For those that know us, this was out of character for both of us! We then spent the day exploring the city, opening up to each other about our lives, the difficulties we’ve overcome, hardships we’ve endured but perhaps most importantly, where we wanted to go in life. We joked, we laughed and we continued to just let it all happen! After an incredible 8 hour walk through the city, we sealed it with a kiss and have been best friends and soul mates since.

Q: What were your favourite wedding moments?

A: It is almost impossible to narrow down a favourite moment, the entire day was magical! From the moment we woke up to the time we fell asleep, the day was perfect.

Q: Any advice for engaged couples planning their wedding?

A: Enjoy the planning process, stay organized and stay on top of things! By doing this, you will be able to relax and enjoy the weeks leading up to the wedding. Don’t forget to think about the guests in your planning, the small things go a long way! Most importantly, it’s your wedding, so throw an extraordinary party to celebrate your love with family and friends!

Q: Any final thoughts about the day you’d like to share?

A: The day won’t go by quickly if you are relaxed and ready to enjoy!
