Alayna and Jason’s Early September Wedding
September 1st 2018
St Peter’s Cathedral Basilica & Best Western Plus Lamplighter Inn
Officially onto sharing my September weddings on the blog and I am excited to kick them off with one of my favourites, Alayna and Jason’s super sweet wedding day! You may recognize these two by now as since meeting them I have had the pleasure of capturing their engagement photos, wedding photos and a family session! I can’t wait for when I get to hangout with this awesome couple again but in the meantime I am super excited to be sharing their wedding day today!
My amazing second shooter Shannon of Shannon Constantine Photography and I began the day capturing getting ready images, she headed to Jason while I headed out to St Thomas to capture Alayna get ready for the day!
We then met up at the always stunning St Peter’s Cathedral Basilica in downtown London right across from Victoria Park, this church is honestly one of the most beautiful I have ever seen or photographed so it is always an honour to capture wedding ceremonies there!
We then headed over to Civic Garden’s (also where their engagement photos were taken) to capture their portraits, bridesmaids and groomsmen! It was one of the hottest and sunniest days of my wedding season last year so we had to get a little creative with locations to try and avoid the hot sun! These two rocked their photos though and their bride and groom photos are some of my all time favourites!
These two photos are a great example as to why you should consider a second shooter on your wedding day, while I was capturing the traditional shot, Shannon was getting the more creative shot through the flower bush!
After finishing up all of their images we headed over to their reception venue, Best Western Plus Lamplighter Inn (fun fact their reception was in the same room that I had my prom almost 10 years ago now)! We had some downtime so we made sure to capture all of their lovely details before getting the night started!
The rest of the evening was full of the sweetest first dance and parent dances, a delicious dinner, adorable speeches and probably the cutest cake cutting of all time! We ended the evening capturing a few more creative bride and groom images before wishing them an amazing honeymoon and letting them party the night away!
Congratulations Alayna and Jason! Your day was absolutely stunning and I am so honoured have have gotten to meet the two of you, your families and friends and of course capture such a lovely day in your lives together!
Sincerely,
