A Divine Affair: fall

Niagara on the Lake Elopement at The Vintage Hotels

Niagara Wedding Planner

Julia and Tom got married on Friday, November 13th in a lovely intimate ceremony with 20 of their closest family and friends. The couple was planning on keeping the Wedding a surprise and weren’t going to tell their guests until the Wedding day. They invited their guests down to Niagara-on-the-Lake to Queens Landing for an engagement Party Brunch. At the brunch they announced to their guests that they will be getting married in a few hours and that they were to attend their ceremony. Their ceremony took place in the Secord room at The Pillar & Post. After the ceremony, family pictures were taken before Julia and Tom braved the cold and went out for some beautiful pictures of the two of them. Julia and Tom met while sailing in Greece. So, they just needed to head down to the harbour and take some photos by the sailboats. After photos, they had a dinner for two ready for them at Escabèche at The Prince of Wales. They spent their day visiting all 3 Vintage Hotels in Niagara-on-the-Lake. My favourite part… You could just feel how much they love each other from the beginning to the end.

Rustic Fall Wedding at Knollwood Golf Course

Shanna and Matthew had their beautiful wedding at Knollwood Golf Course on October 9th, 2015. It was a wedding full of joy, laughs, and a lot of emotion. The couple had their first look outside, among the beautiful trees beside the adorable inn on the grounds. The deep emotion on their faces made it a truly heartwarming moment.

Despite the cooler weather, Shanna and Matthew decided to have an outdoor ceremony by the beautiful pond, to capture the essence of the changing leaves. To keep the guests cozy, there was a basket of warm blankets and a table with cider and mini donuts. In true rustic fashion, there were hay bales and beautiful wooden signs set up, along with an array of pumpkins and mums. Some of Shanna’s students, who came together as a quartet, played during the ceremony and it was absolutely breathtaking.

To add to the beautiful rustic barn that the reception was held at afterwards, all of the tables were scattered with colourful leaves that Shanna and Matthew had picked the year before. Along with these, Matthew had designed a bunch of wooden slabs into beautiful décor for the tables and cupcakes. The wedding was full of personal touches and my favourite one was the little live gold fish on the head table, as Shanna and Matthew met on the dating website Plenty of Fish.

The super fun couple made for some hilarious photos and a great party.
