Sudbury Ontario Wedding Officiant
A random post. Not much to do with pop up weddings. Onwards…
Most kids love to fly. That’s why I often create these moments where dad throws the kid up in the air. They do this anyways, why not? Sometimes, like the first shot below, I see it happening, so I grab the moment. Fun. Scary for mom. Kids love it.
And it creates some cool memories of the wedding day.

As we were driving to our wedding location where Katie and Chris were going to exchange vows and host a small almost Pop Up style wedding event in her parents yard, I turn to Tina and ask: “You enjoy officiating these weddings, don’t you?”
She replied “Yes, I do. I really do. It’s kinda cool.”
See, this is her first year, first summer as a wedding officiant. And she’s kinda good at it. I have to admit too she’s very, very organized and plans things to a T. That’s always been her super powers.
As we were driving, she’s still rehearsing the vows over again. She wants to make sure things go well.
It’s her style. She wants to do a good job and it shows.

What happens when your brother in law is skilled in all things carpentry. And you need a custom made wedding arch for your pop up weddings.
This…..
It’s almost eight feet tall. Comes a part for easy travel. This is key, since we’ll be bringing it to our pop up wedding events.
Imagine this creatively designed arch tucked in among a strand of trees, on grass, surrounded by white covered chairs and accented with coral wraps?
And we can bring it to any event. It’s modern, with a mix of vintage and elegance.
We’re excited. Thanks Dan!

Back yard weddings are popular these days.
Of course it’s amazing when the weather is perfect. However, having a ‘back up plan’ in the event of rain is important, whether it’s a pop up wedding or larger wedding with many in attendance.
[Read more…] about Back yard weddings are popular…One of Sudbury’s favorite place to head to for food, fun, social and a small wedding.
Last Saturday Tina officiated such an event, where there were no more than 20 family and close friends in attendance.
More to come soon!

I’ve noticed this years ago when photographing weddings and engagement portraits on location. Everyone loves water. And love the idea of being photographed near, or on the water.
My guess is this….water is a symbol of life. More specifically, new life. Which can be a metaphor for a new life as a couple or the promise of bringing forth new life with babies and a family.
Who knows? It’s my take…what’s yours? We love water…
And it makes a great backdrop.

I keep thinking that just about any area, any location would work for a Pop Up Wedding ceremony…..
In all the many, many family portraits I’ve created over the years, where the locations often include the family’s homes, yards, driveways and other spots in Sudbury, like on Ramsay Lake at Science North, it inspires many options.
The possibilities are really endless. I know most folks like trees and nature, and we know there’s a lot of that available. But that doesn’t mean you couldn’t get married just about anywhere. Weather permitting. Setting up for a pop up wedding is light and mobile.
Some recent family portraits I’ve created at some inspiring locales:
I see lots of unique things in my 35+ plus years of shooting weddings. I always capture images of them, since they are all important and hold emotions and memories.
Of course, the rings are a standard item. You might say a ring is a ring is a ring. Or is it? Of course not. Each set of rings is a valuable symbol that goes back who knows how long in history. I’ve heard it said they represent eternity. I try and still get creative with the rings by placing them in unique spots.
Bobble heads? Well, they say it all… unique and creative!
