So, I’m going to keep this brief. Less talk, more photos. Because they really do speak for themselves. And they really do speak so highly of the people Christina and Danny are. They are kind and considerate. They believe in people. They believe in love. And I’m so proud I got to document their beautiful day in the Barrie/Springwater area. 
Ahhh, these girls were so lovely! I miss you all!
Christina makes getting ready look like an art. Pure art. 
I loved the few moments we took before we left for the ceremony for Christina to have a minute with her parents. 
Onto the main event … and a huge shout out to Father John at St. Mary’s Parish in Barrie (who not only held a beautiful ceremony but joined our crazy bridal party afterwards)
It was a beautiful ceremony. 
Of course, my favourite part of the ceremony… the kiss! :) And in their case, the high five hahah! So cute! 
Now, this is where the fun started. We had a lot of time to take photos. It was extremely important to Christina – and to be completely honest, I respect that so much. As a photographer, it can sometimes be very deflating when you only get 15 minutes with a bride and groom for photos. I get that sometimes, weddings just don’t work out the way you want them for the sake of bridal portraits – but I always try to ensure that my couples get in ample time with me. In this case, we had almost 3 hours to play and frolic in the rain, visiting beautiful places along a stretch in Springwater. It was an experience I’ll never forget. 
Can we just stop for a second to note how beautiful Christina looked on her wedding day. It was really a dream come true for her. 
This barn was really important to Christina and Danny. I’m so glad it worked out, despite the rain (fortunately it only lasted for about 20 minutes). 
Such a beautiful couple. 
Of course, it wouldn’t be a party without a bridal party (haha get it!!). And they were quite the spirited bunch! 
I loved that Christina ditched her shoes for cowboy boots. She totally rocked them too, doncha think!
We can’t leave the handsome Danny and his groomsmen out. Doesn’t everyone just look amazing? 
I told you, it was a lovefest of photos but when you look as stunning as Christina and Danny, can you blame them? 
Off to our next two locations, including another farm with baby horses and Christina’s grandmothers home that had the most amazing backyard! 
Then, this happened. Don’t ask ;) 
Hey, I won’t stop when inspiration calls! Since this was our last location before heading to Drysdale Tree Farm, we made sure to do a few more full bridal portraits. I can’t get over that sweet light. 
I adore this. 
Danny, I hope you didn’t think I forgot about you. You cleaned up pretty nice I must say! 
So, Kelsey and I pull up to Drysdale Tree Farm and wow… we were just blown away. Not only was it another gorgeous spot for photos, we were in awe of their reception area. How did we get so lucky! The light was simply beautiful. 
Isn’t that cake simply to die for? It was made by a family friend, I was so impressed. And yes, while it might have started shifting due to the humidity in the air, it honestly was one of the most beautiful cakes I’ve ever seen (and I see a lot of cakes). It had so much character! And the racoons!! Oh, those racoons!! ;) Once we settled in, we were treated to fun introductions, a delicious dinner (thai and indian), heartfelt speeches, and beautiful dances — we laughed and enjoyed the most beautiful summer night under the stars. 
Their first dance was pretty heartfelt and beautifully choreographed. I love that Christina changed her dress for it. I loved the lift at the end! 
Seriously!!!! How cute is Danny’s little niece?! She totally stole my heart! 
I love this; pure and simple. 
After they cut the cake, they were up for a few more photos outside. I’m so glad we got to enjoy a little quiet downtime on the premises for more photos. It was a photographer’s paradise! 
I know…. just when you think they can’t get cuter or more in love …
And that dress…. stunning! 
Christina and Danny, it was a beautiful night! I’m so glad I was a part of it. When Christina’s parents got up to speak, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room. Yvonne’s poems were beautiful. And the words spoken about her son Patrick was undeniable. On a personal note, as a mother, listening to Yvonne speak about the loss of her son broke my heart. We could all feel his presence. He was there… he was there.
Ha! Christina’s dad is the best … I don’t think there was one person who didn’t laugh at this (except for maybe Danny at first haha).
Of course, we ended the night with sparklers … 
And a few more photos… of course! How could we not under that beautifully lit gazebo under the stars!
I know this is long overdue guys, but as you can see, this is probably the heaviest blog post I’ve done in a while. But there was so much beautiful imagery, I wanted to make sure I gave you guys a proper look into your day. I hope you enjoyed looking back at your wedding day. I know I sure did! 
Lots of love, Robyn xo
