Jill and John – Sault Ste Marie Wedding

Jill and John had a super awesome day for their wedding which closed out the month of May. It was one of those days where just looking outside would make you sweat. Add the nerves of the wedding day or being in possession of the wedding rings to that and it would be the best of us to our knees. One thing that I took away from the day is that Jill, John and their friends and family love to laugh; either with you or at you they’ll be smiling and laughing. Even if you did something that would have others throwing shoes at you, they’ll smile and laugh and just enjoy everything that is happening.

Jill and John opted to have all of their formal photos shot before the ceremony which helped ease the day in for them. They were able to spend time together for the majority of the day allowing them to enjoy it that much more.

Today is also Jill’s birthday. So happy birthday Jill! Hope you and John have a great day today and thank you for the great day on your wedding.

Photographer’s Tip #29KH06: If you happen to be in the possession of the wedding rings setting up some fun shots and you hear “make sure you don’t drop those under the deck” and say “pfffttt” then proceed to drop the rings under the deck 30 seconds later – blame the closest bridesmaid. Thanks for grabbing the camera Lissa, thanks for the drill assist Mr. Orlando. I can’t believe I was wearing my bald wig when this happened!

Jess and Mike – Wedding Reception

You may remember Jess and Mike from their engagement shoot posted earlier on the site. I was an invited guest to their wedding but was hired to shoot their reception so essentially I had a half day off and got to enjoy the meal while working! The wedding reception was held in the main banquet hall of the Great Northern Hotel and Conference Centre here in Sault Ste. Marie and everything was perfect. The details were just right, the cake made by Jeannette from Jeannette’s Custom Cakes was awesome (she also made my wedding cake so I might be biased!), and everyone had a great time partying with the newly married couple. Here’s a sample of what we shot that night.

Some shots of the first dance:

And then what I have made a custom of mine, I stole Jess and Mike away from the party for a few minutes to get some night shots of them:
