Sudbury Ontario Wedding Officiant
What is candid photography? Typically it means images that are unscripted, unposed and take on a photo journalistic style. I love shooting candids and push hard to get as many as I can, even at pop up weddings.
Candids create images that resonate with everyone. They have more emotion, mood and memory.
Even though pop up weddings are smaller affairs, there’s is still many opportunities for candid images.
Last fall when we ran our Thanksgiving weekend Pop Up wedding event, Danielle and Peter grabbed the 8:00PM time slot.
[Read more…] about When your pop up wedding is after sunset, light some “candles” for a special ceremony…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.
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!

Haily & Brad were our last couple last August on our first ever Pop Up Wedding day event. They chose the last time slot and had an amazing sunset ceremony.
Here’s some samples…
One of the couples who we had the honour of officiating and photographing on our Pop Up Wedding day last October was Amelie and Kevin.
Here’s but a few samples from that day, both indoor and outside with the fall colours and lake Ramsay…

We had another inquiry yesterday from a couple who are interested in eloping. This Sudbury couple googled the terms: Sudbury elopement and we showed up.
I wrote about eloping yesterday.
Here’s the dictionary definition of eloping:
Elope
verb
run away secretly in order to get married, especially without parental consent.
This explains in many ways why eloping and a pop-up wedding are so very different. A pop up wedding, well, everyone knows they’re getting married. It’s not a ‘secret’.
And, even though it’s a much smaller crowd -closest friends and relatives- it breaks away from the long standing tradition of a large wedding- with all its hassles, pageantry and expense.
One of the biggest challenges that comes up, and often resolved, is how do you only invite your closest friends and relatives?
Isn’t it bad manners to exclude?
Actually, no. It’s not. This is a fear which is made up in our imaginations. Most are supportive and happy for the couple as they start their lives together.
That, plus, it solves the bigger problems and challenges that goes along with “who do you invite?” and “how do I keep it small?”
Simple. Have a pop up wedding. No need to elope is there?

I’ve shot many weddings at City Hall. It’s legal and, well, serves a purpose. You get married.
They are mostly straightforward and ‘nothing fancy’. Mostly utilitarian, if you know what I mean. After all it takes place in the city chambers and is performed by a city clerk.
