When James and Courtney first contacted me about their wedding day, I could tell right away that they would be a super fun couple to work with! Our first in person meeting was for their engagement session at Princess Point in Hamilton – one of their favourite places to spend quality time together. Their love for one another was palpable during that photoshoot, and I couldn’t wait to photograph their wedding day!

When the big day finally arrived, I met with James and Courtney at Melrose United Church, an iconic stone church in the city’s southwest end. James and Courtney got ready in different locations within the church, and before their ceremony they held hands with their backs to one another in order to calm their nerves and have a quiet moment together before seeing each other for the first time across the aisle.  In 15 years of wedding photography this was the first time I had seen a couple do this and it was SO SWEET!

Their emotional ceremony was followed by family photos and bride and groom portraits on the church grounds, which were adorned in the autumn colours!

Courtney and James’ wedding reception took place at the nearby C-Hotel by Carmen’s, where we captured some fun nighttime photos outside with the the unique hotel facade!

I had such an amazing time getting to know and to work with this lovely couple, and I can’t wait to see them again sometime!
