Belcroft Estates Wedding | Emily & Nick
Ontario Barn Wedding

Emily and Nick had the MOST beautiful Ontario barn wedding in the Autumn – the leaves were all sorts of stunning colours and the sun peeked through in the most sparkly ways.
And of course, the people were my favourite. These two have such open and full hearts, as do their families – just look at all the amazing ‘heart on their sleeves’ expressions! *sigh* such big love.

Here are a few highlights from their day, along with some words from the couple themselves!

What is your wedding theme / style / colour palette? Why did you choose this?
Romance meets whimsical. The colours for our wedding are burgundy, black, white and golds. We had chosen this look because it suites us as a couple. Throughout the venue you will see lots of soft lights and pumpkins . We had choose this because fall is an important season for us. We started dating in October, got engaged in October and soon to be married in October ! We wanted to incorporate fall into our day but being surrounded by warmth of the lights and candles.

What 3-5 words best describe your wedding?
Good food, drinks , music and love !

What have you been looking forward to most about your wedding day?
We both can not wait to be officially husband and wife ! Getting to start our new chapter in the presence of our closest family and friends ! It will for sure be a party !

Venue: What made this venue the one for you?
We both come from European backgrounds and wanted to do something non-traditional . As well, the barn is a significant symbol in our lives. Nick and I had our first date at Sunnybrooke Farms and continued to make a tradition by visiting a farm annually . Nick had proposed at Springridge farms . So , when we had came across a barn venue — we thought what could be more perfect !

Photographer: How did you know you had found the right photographer?
We both knew we had to have Anastasia as our photographer because not only did we love her work, but her as well! Our first initial meeting with Anastasia felt like we were talking with one of our friends because she made us feel comfortable and took her time going over any questions or details we had asked .

Any words of advice for couples planning their wedding?
Enjoy every moment in wedding plans! Most importantly don’t forget who you are as a couple. Focus on each other and do what you both would want in your special day together !

Pioneer Village Wedding

You may remember Morgan and Nicolas from their engagement session – Well, they’re now married! Boy was it ever a great day.As you may remember, I went to elementary school with Morgan, and these days she actually works with my husband at the ROM! Naturally, he had to come as my assistant that day! (He’s in some photos with black shorts and a black buttoned shirt.)

Their wedding was in London, Ontario at Fanshawe Pioneer Village. We stayed over the night before in their old apartment, a house rented by his parents now as an Air BnB. The backyard was lush and lovely and I had to use it for some photos in the morning.

When the day came, it was just so wonderful. An outdoor ceremony under a canopy of trees, a barn reception with outdoor areas for people to explore and lounge, and a food truck dishing out dinner – the vibe of the day was relaxed, low-key, and full of heart.

There were lots of personal touches too:
– Nick’s mom & aunt did all the flowers and pottery for the favours
– Nick’s brother and brother’s girlfriend designed the logo for the favours
– Morgan’s dress was designed by Catherine Langlois, an amazing Toronto designer whom she used to babysit for
– Their young nephews (we’re talking barely above single digits young) did their DJing! (Their actual DJ unfortunately fell ill so their music-savvy nephews came to the rescue.)

I won’t say too much but rather will let the photos do the talking – Each time I look through their photos I get the warm and fuzzies. Congratulations again, Morgan & Nicolas!!
