Pastel Backyard Wedding

A beautiful backyard summer wedding in Thunder Bay
I’m Allison.
Welcome to my blog! This is where I'll share past weddings, my favourite wedding tips, and sometimes I'll even throw in some sage photography advice or a personal blog post or two.

Some things are meant to be together; peanut butter and honey, Sabrina and Harvey, Rory Gilmore and books and Jenn and Julian.

Jenn and Julian are high school sweethearts. They met 13 years ago at a party and at the next party, when they met again, it became very apparent to both of them that there was something there. That something lead to what they have today and even when their lives took them in separate directions they always found their way back to each other.

After years of waiting, in a beautiful wedding this past Saturday, Jenn and Julian finally became husband and wife. Jenn and Julian put so much work in to making their day special; all of their decorations were hand made and finished off to perfection with gorgeous flower arrangements from Velvet Rope Floral. Jenn spent months doing the calligraphy for all of the signs, creating the centrepieces, the list goes on! Julian put his talents as a carpenter to work and built stands for the signs and the photo booth which kept their guests entertained for hours at their reception!

The amount of work they put in to their wedding is a testament to their love as much as their vows to each other were and it all came together in the most perfect way! And, after months of hard work, in front of their family in friends, in Julian’s godmothers backyard with the most perfect backdrop of the mountains and valley below they finally said their vows and sealed them with a kiss!

It was an absolute dream to spend such a special day with two special people! Jenn and Julian are the sweetest most genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Even though it was their wedding day they managed to make everyone around them feel special, loved, and cared for because that’s just who they are!

Jenn and Julain, thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a special time in your lives. I had the best day celebrating with you! Everything that you envision was brought together perfectly and you both looked AMAZING! I wish you an eternity of love, laughter, happiness and beautiful memories as you begin this next chapter of your lives together <3
