If anyone happened to plan a GTA wedding this July, they know first hand how many rainy Saturdays we had. And on July 17th, we were worried that would be the case for Jacob and Meriah’s beautiful, outdoor ceremony in Brantford, Ontario. But luck was on our side, and although the day remained overcast (which makes for very flattering photos!), we managed to get through the whole day without more than a few drops of rain.

Jacob and Meriah opted for a first look before the ceremony, in order to make the most of their cocktail hour with friends and family. Especially after distancing for so long, nothing felt better than laughing and enjoying time with loved ones.

If you’re considering a first look, we always highly recommend them. They’re such a beautiful moment, and a great way to extend the day with your partner.

The whole day was beautiful and so full of love, and the sun even came out just as it began to set for some stunning golden-hour photos. And nothing felt better than finally getting the chance to enjoy a full wedding day with a happy couple and all the people they care about most.
