Wedding Cinema at Nottawasaga Inn Resort in Alliston, ON

Heather + Tony | Wedding Cinema in Alliston, ON



Once upon a time, there was a girl named Heather. We met her in 2009 when we photographed the wedding of her good friends, Stephen + Tammy. Fast forward to last year, when we received an email from Heather informing us that she had met her prince and they were engaged. We were thrilled, and even more delighted when they chose us to film their wedding. This is their fairy tale wedding story.

PREPARATION
The wedding took place on the grounds of Nottawasaga Inn Resort in Alliston, ON. Paul met up with Tony and the guys as they suited up for the day, while Melanie spent the afternoon with Heather and the ladies. Heather slipped into her Kate Middleton inspired gown (which she designed herself) with the help of her mother. She tearfully shared a moment with her parents and grandparents, as she eagerly anticipated seeing her husband-to-be. The guys helped each other with ties, suspenders and pocket squares, then made their way over to the gardens. Despite some ominous clouds, the decision was made to have the ceremony under the gazebo outside. An excellent choice!

CEREMONY
All the guests gathered in the gardens. Heather + Tony declared their vows in front of family and friends, kissed, then participated in a sand ceremony, before walking down the aisle as newlyweds.

CREATIVE
We were so thrilled to finally work with our friend, the talented Jennifer Klementti (who we have known for years but have not had the pleasure of working alongside). We explored the beautifully manicured gardens with the bridal party. Heather + Tony have a mutual love of hockey, so we walked over to the onsite arena for photos. They even had personalized Toronto Maple Leaf jerseys designed for the wedding! Go Leafs Go!

RECEPTION
The theme song for “Hockey Night in Canada” blared as Heather + Tony made their grand entrance into the Bourdeuax Ballroom in their matching jerseys. The red goal light flashed and sounded off! Everyone cheered as the couple made their way to the dance floor for their first dance. The room was full of thoughtful details – from the party favours for each guest to the gorgeous crystal centerpieces – each item set the mood for a magical evening of food, speeches, photo booth fun, and dancing.

Heather loves Disney! In fact, we share a love for the wonderful world of Disney. One special detail that we loved was the Cinderella cake topper delicately set upon their delicious cake. It added a perfect fairy tale element to their entire wedding.

THANK YOU
Thank you so much, Heather + Tony, for inviting us to capture your wedding day! We had such a great time spending the day with you both, and wish you all the very best! And they lived happily ever after!
