Neil & Veronica | Guelph Wedding Photography (Part I)

I'm going to have to split this up into two posts... there are just WAYY to many photos to show!

And now I introduce to you two of my favourite people in the world, and a couple who have become very close and dear friends over the last year and a half: Veronica and Neil.

Veronica contacted me very shortly after I had started into wedding photography (I think I had only done two or three weddings at that point!), and asked if I would be willing to travel... to Guelph! Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I love to travel and that Guelph is like in my backyard in comparison to some other locations I've driven or flown to. ;) Almost immediately, we TOTALLY hit it off!

Over the next year and a bit, plans changed as Neil got a job in Ottawa and they moved north, and then their original wedding was moved up six weeks ahead of the original date! No sweat though--I went up to Ottawa for their engagement shoot (SO much fun!), and the new date worked out just fine!

We did all the portraits before the ceremony, so we had lots of time and got a TON of amazing photos! The whole day was so much fun, but I think my favourite part may have been the "first look" where Neil and Veronica saw each other for the first time (in their wedding garb, of course ;).... I get all teary-eyed when I look at the photos from this whole day. Their families and wedding party and friends... everyone was just SO amazing and I was completely honoured to be a part of it all. Just incredible memories...










































































































































































































































In addition to the photos, I'd also like to brag a little more about V... She's recently come on board to be my studio manager (w00t!!), making my life so much more organized and giving me more time to breathe, and she was also recently featured on Maggie Sottero's website!! Check out her bridal gown shopping story!

Coming up next, the ceremony and reception photos! Stay tuned!!
