What about children at pop up wedding?

March 27, 2020 by pnkdadmin Leave a Comment

We see children at most weddings we’ve photographed. They’re cute, fun, adorable and run around like a bunch of crazy people.

And we love it! Why not. Children at some level bring us hope and love.

At pop up weddings there seems to be a higher than normal average amount of babies and children. Many couples have started their family and obviously bring the children.

A pop up wedding is personal, intimate and involves moreso the immediate family.

Which means more kids. And makes it somehow more personal.

In the end, whether or not you have a huge wedding guest list, a smaller wedding is more intense, more meaning.

Should I wear a wedding gown at my pop up wedding?

March 22, 2020 by pnkdadmin Leave a Comment

I’ve said this many times about pop up weddings. Imagine a regular full sized wedding, hundreds of guests, all the frills, fanfare and pageantry….

And simply compress it down to a mini-version of the same.

Everything pretty much stays the same. The elegance, the joy, the traditions or non-traditions, the experiences. All pretty much the same.

Except the size. Including the size of the guest list, the reception hall, the meals and all those goes into a larger wedding. And way, way less hassles and stress. (who needs those right?)

Oh, let’s not forget the expense. This, a big one.

One tradition that does not seem to be affected by reducing the size of your wedding is the wedding gown. It seems every bride loves the idea of wearing her dress of choice.

We’ve noticed this in all the pop up weddings we’ve participated in. And this includes the guys. Many wear a nice suit, tux and always classy.

Keep your wedding classy, elegant and somewhat traditional. Why not?

Great memories, photography and joy. And little to no stress.

Cool funky locations for pop up weddings around Sudbury…

March 20, 2020 by pnkdadmin Leave a Comment

There was a time when just about everyone got married at the local church. And then new trends started where different locations became trendy and cool.

This includes resorts, both locally and far away destinations, at home, the cottage, reception halls, local parks, on and on.

We’ve even officiated a wedding on a trail in the bush. Anything can work.

Here’s just a few samples from weddings we’ve participated in. Click on the image to access the website for more information.

When the wedding guest list is way too big…

March 5, 2020 by pnkdadmin Leave a Comment

It’s a classic struggle. The bride and groom have their wedding list, and the parents add theirs, and the list is way bigger than expected.

What do you do? One solution of course is a Pop Up Wedding. We hear this often. Our brides often say: “Thank you! Now I have a valid reason to not invite everyone to our wedding.”

Who knew? But it is valid. And the bride and groom and family is off the hook. A pop up wedding is what it is. A small, elegant wedding with a limited guest list. Often times no more than 25 guests.

Interested in hosting your own Pop Up wedding in or around Sudbury, Ontario? We’re a legal wedding officiant and professional wedding photographer.

We can even create a one-off uniquely designed for you Pop Up wedding at your favorite location. You’ll have a great experience and save a ton of money, and stress.

Five popular reasons why Pop Up Weddings are a big hit…

February 24, 2020 by pnkdadmin Leave a Comment

I was chatting with Tina and our daughter Danielle this morning. We got on the topic of why Pop Up Weddings are so popular.

After a few minutes, we came up with five key reasons. These answers come from experience, what we’ve heard, noticed and what many couples have told us.

Here they are:

REASON NUMBER 1- Stress free. I posted about this in this post.
Who wants their wedding to be a stress filled event? No one really. Hence, a pop up wedding.
REASON NUMBER 2- Photography is included. Everyone wants high quality wedding photographs, and the digital files. Hiring your cousin who bought a new camera from Costco doesn’t cut it anymore. Who needs sketchy images and the stress of worrying about whether they will do a good job capturing your wedding day memories?
REASON NUMBER 3- All in one, done for you, plug and play turnkey. This ties in to why pop up weddings are stress free. It’s a complete package. All the bride and groom needs to do is consult with Tina on creating the wedding vows, planning the details, photography and such and other details that needs organizing. One stop is all you need!
REASON NUMBER 4- Brides have thanked us for now having an excuse to have a smaller wedding. The stress of organizing a large guest list is gone. You’re off the hook. Many brides and grooms still want a larger celebration, and that’s ok. But for those who want to keep it small and stress free, a pop up wedding is darn near perfect!
REASON NUMBER 5- You save a ton of money. This one is popular with many and is fairly obvious. We hear it all the time. Couples who would rather have a pop up wedding also want to put their money in other areas that they value…a home, a trip or two or simply hold onto the money for later use. The savings are crazy.

There are more reasons, but these are the main reasons.

Enjoy,

Rob

There’s only two ways to guarantee a stress free wedding…

February 20, 2020 by pnkdadmin Leave a Comment

I always feel bad for the stressed out bride. Most of the time she’s overwhelmed and didn’t expect so many hassles. Some turn into bridezillas. And it’s not their fault. Who knew it would be such a hassle!

What if it rains on my pop up wedding day?

February 12, 2020 by pnkdadmin Leave a Comment

We always sit and consult with our couples about the details on their wedding day.

This applies on all weddings…. either for a regular wedding or pop up wedding. Same rules apply. You need to be organized and ready. In case.

I’ve always tongue in cheek said: “If you plan for rain, it won’t rain. If you don’t, it will. Be prepared.”
