Oh these two! I don’t usually pick favourites, but they definitely hold a very special place in my heart. So thank you to the lovely Melissa from Moments by Melissa Miller for having me along to help for this wedding!
Blake & Lindsey tied the knot on a bright and sunny May afternoon. The wedding was held at the Hamilton Waterfront Centre. I shot a wedding here in 2011 with Melissa as well, and they’ve made some updates to bring a more modern sensibility to the space. The entire day was lovely, but Blake & Lindsey were definitely the star of the show. They are just so in love with each other. He absolutely adores her, and she makes him laugh. And when he kisses her, she does this thing where she scrunches up her nose. They absolutely love each other wholeheartedly. And that love isn’t just for each other, but for their friends and families as well. You can feel it. I don’t even know what else to say about this day without making it sound clichéd, except that this is why I love what I do, to witness such heartfelt love and document it, and know that as long as such love exists, the world is still a beautiful place.
Blake & Lindsey opted for a First Look, and it was really sweet. They spent the time laughing together, chatting and just being themselves.
One of the nearby boats sounded their horn (do you still call it a horn from a boat?!) to congratulate the couple!
Their MC’s made a special video for the couple that began with: “Good Evening, I’m Peter Mansbridge, and today from Hamilton, Ontario…” Everyone was absolutely floored.
The video then continued to interviews from some of their closest friends and family. Words that had everyone laughing and tearing up. Including us photographers.
