Weddings

Last October we hosted a pop up wedding day at the Northern Water Sports on Ramsay Lake, Sudbury. It was a huge success and we’re hosting another event in October 10, 2020 Check that out HERE

There’s a lot of interest in these events and we’re talking inquiries. Some are asking about the actual photography. Of course, the weather plays a big part in how the photos look at this location, but rain or shine, we get them done.

Rain can be a real damper. Worse yet, when you have a large crowd of close friends and family, all outdoors, nothing but umbrellas, hopefully, and if it starts raining, that dampening effect made way worse by the mere fact that so many are in attendance. Ugh….what a mess!

Not so much with a smaller, more manageable crowd at a pop up wedding.

As mentioned, even on a pop up wedding, there are many opportunities for relaxed, candid and photojournalistic photos.
This style of photography is very popular and the images are many of the favorites with brides and grooms…some more samples….

No matter the size of the event, I always like to capture the heart and soul. There’s a story to tell, and one of the best ways to do this is by using a photo journalistic style and black and white photography.

I have learned over the years and by applying myself with decades of of wedding photography experience to “anticipate” and be ready when the shot will reveal itself.

Couples love this style of photography of course. And when blended with the more artistic, classic photography, it adds so much more to the overall collections of memories.

I’ve been photographing engagement sessions for a long time. My main photography studio has a long history of wedding and engagement sessions.

Whenever I am asked the main question: When should we have our engagement session done? I always suggest that sooner if better than later.

I’ll do just about anything to “get the shot”. This includes ruining my clothes and climbing onto roofs.

One thing about pop up weddings and smaller home based weddings is the fact that you don’t really need a PA system. You could call this a low tech solution. Everyone can hear you fine, because the crowd is smaller.

And everyone is crowded into the living room. But it doesn’t matter. Everyone is happy, excited and feeling the love.

Of course the weather needs to play a role here.  Any pop up wedding can have the exact same elements as  a larger event with hundreds of guests. But with way less expense and hassle.

I’ve said it before, worth mentioning again, pop up weddings are getting more and more popular for these reasons. Less hassle, less expense, and far more fun and intimate. Here’s a short clip from Ashley and Mikes backyard wedding.
