Ryan + Sarah celebrated their day with an outdoor ceremony in the crisp October air. The Meadows provided the beautiful backdrop where documentary-style photography merged seamlessly with an editorial vibe. R + S requested non-traditional wedding party photos so we grabbed champagne, their glammed up group and I captured friends celebrating friends.

These lovers had such a beautifully emotional first look, it had me in tears. Their entire day felt like art – this gallery also highlights some of my favourite black and whites. Each image focuses on the essence of the moment, accentuating contrasts and textures highlighting raw emotions and intricate details.

If you are engaged and you want your wedding to feel elegant yet full of life, here is your inspiration.
