Lake Lauzon resort…an ideal location for a pop up wedding. Here’s why…
Lake Lauzon resort is about 1.5 hour drive west of Sudbury, right on Hwy 17 on one of the most stunning and beautiful lakes in Northern Ontario.

Lauren and Andre had their wedding license, hall, all wedding plans ready to go. Like all wedding this season, they all got cancelled and postponed.
Lauren and Andre like so many other couples simply postponed their hall and reception. But decided to get married in their backyard, since their wedding license was only good for 90 days.
She plans on having some form of celebration next year, perhaps with a vow renewal or whatever makes sense at that time. Either way, a bigger, much bigger celebration will happen in 2021.
For now, they are legally married. And following the lockdown rules had a great day. Many of the same elements and experiences of a bigger wedding still happen, only smaller. It’s the nature of a pop up wedding. Elegant, well done, just small. And legal of course.
Here’s a few samples….

“Calgary couple distraught after unlicensed wedding officiant marries them”
What a nightmare this would be. I suppose some problems that show up at a wedding event could be worse, much worse. Like a bride hating her wedding photographs weeks after the wedding because she hired the wrong person. Or, constant rain at an outdoor location. Or someone getting hurt, or, worse yet, dying. (This happens!)

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.

This style of photography is very popular and the images are many of the favorites with brides and grooms…some more samples….
Candid black and white photography at the pop up wedding…
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.
