Stunning Toronto Wedding at Hart House

December 3, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

From inside to out, Hart House couldn’t have been a more beautiful backdrop for Tamara and Kevin’s Toronto wedding. The couple said “I do” on the steps outside the tall stone building before heading into the reception, where the dark wood interior set the mood for a sophisticated and romantic celebration. We love that the couple kept their reception decor simple, focusing on long garlands of greenery on each wooden table. Daring Wanderer captured all of the festivities, including the couple and their guests dancing The Zeffeh along with Handmade Entertainment.

The Couple:

Tamara and Kevin

The Wedding:

Hart House, Toronto, Ontario

The Zeffeh (traditional Middle Eastern folk song and dance) that was performed by Handmade Entertainment was so special! Roula Said wrote and created a song in English with little personal anecdotes about us that were so funny, well written and unique – I think everyone, including us, was pleasantly surprised by how thoughtful and talented Roula and her band were. It was even more wonderful than we ever could have imagined!

We didn’t need to do much to Hart House to make it what it was – it has so much history and charm. The dark wood, the garden in the quad and the gorgeous stone buildings really spoke to us. We really wanted everything to fit into that type of organic and timeless aesthetic.

Our cake was absolutely delicious, everyone wanted seconds!!! Hart House does not have air conditioning so Nadia timed the drop off and refrigeration perfectly – small details that we did not have to worry about and trusted our vendor to take care of.

Southwestern Desert Wedding Inspiration in Phoenix, Arizona

December 3, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Southwestern-Desert-Wedding-Inspiration-in-Phoenix-Arizona-39

If we told you that an antique wedding dress inspired this edgy Southwestern desert wedding inspiration shoot, would you believe us? The brilliant minds of photographers Jonnie + Garrett decided to create a wedding scene so unlike the nuptials in which the dress was initially worn. Subtle tribal patterns, animal skulls, air plants, and a color palette inspired by the natural hues of the desert are a few key elements that transformed a sandy spot in Phoenix, Arizona into a romantic and daring wedding location.

From the Photographer: Our concept began with a 100 year old wedding dress from Garrett‘s great great grandmother. This dress dates back to 1915! We wanted to take this beautiful antique dress and give it a wedding that was something it had never seen before.

We created a Southwestern inspired wedding with an alternative and edgy vibe. We used a neutral color palate influenced by the desert itself along with the blues found in turquoise stones. The animal skulls, geometric shapes, unusual florals and unique attire were just a few of the elements we used to pull together this unique shoot.

On one of the hottest days of the year, we braced the heat to photograph a beautiful alternative wedding inspiration in the Arizona desert.  This inspiration is for the bride who is not afraid to push the limits, stand out in the crowd, never afraid of taking a risk and loves to be a little daring.

Boho-Yorkshire-Wedding-at-Jervaulx-Abbey-Miss-Gen-Photography-019

Not wanting their day to be overly formal, Anna and Jonathan’s Jervaulx Abbey wedding was equal parts bohemian and romantic. The pair were married in a garden ceremony where guests tossed flower petals on the newlyweds as they descended back down the aisle. RL Films Co and Miss Gen Photography beautifully captured the sweet moments and overall effortless spirit of Anna and Jonathan’s relaxed Yorkshire wedding.

The Couple:

We wanted a relaxed, boho and fun wedding. We aren’t very formal people and we love to have fun so for us we wanted it to feel like minimal fuss and for everyone to have a blast.

My favourite moment was Jonathan’s speech. Jon can be quite shy and I know that he had been so busy with work in the run up to the wedding that he was struggling to find the time to write it. The speech was funny and also very beautfiul. I loved every moment of it.
