Over the summer, I had the honor of photographing Kristen and Matt’s real wedding at Gracewood Estates. I met Kristen in 2017 at my very first wedding.

In honour of their wedding coming up in just a few weeks, here is K and M’s engagement photos. They couldn’t decide between having their engagement photos at Guelph University, where they first met, or at the beautiful Guelph Lake Conservation Area, where the Harris Mill Ruins are found.

In the wedding niche, editorial photography is a stylized, posed approach to photographs that are directed and created by the photographer or creative director. They don’t leave much of the photograph to chance and take control of every element such as colours, posing, and background to create something specific. The reason behind the name “editorial” is this style of photography is traditionally accompanied by an article or publication in a magazine or online. Of course, that is an incredibly broad definition by itself, so when you see that description used in the wedding industry, you can safely assume it means the photos will have a magazine-worthy look and feel.

Documentary style photography is finding photographs instead of creating them. The photographer with this style will be watching events unfold in front of them to understand the narrative and then capture it in a way that documents that as accurately as possibly.

Jenny & Bob’s wedding was not short on elements that were unique to them. To start, Jenny had her two pups walk her down the aisle to her groom to be, they had a DIY floral bar where anyone could make their own bouquet — and let me tell you, the ladies LOVED this.
