Louis and Leanne are such an awesome couple … I had an absolute blast shooting their wedding this past weekend.  We started the day at Leanne’s Mom’s house for some detail shots and getting ready photos.  Isn’t this dress, just stunning?

Leanne had lots of bling, and boy did she wear it well!!

We then headed to the ceremony at Melrose United Church in downtown Hamilton.  Louis and Leanne wrote their own vows together … they were absolutely beautiful!

And to my surprise, this studious couple (a lawyer and a librarian) wanted to do their formal photos in the gritty center of downtown Hamilton.  I was so excited to hear this!!  How do you think they turned out?

I fell in LOVE with this wedding party!  They were absolutely awesome!  We had a tight timeline to keep, and everyone really pulled together and got it done.  Such a great group of people … it was easy to see why Leanne and Louis love them all so much!

Could you two be any cuter???

All I can say is … RAWR!!!

I love how this shot turned out!!  It’s my new favourite downtown fire escape …

Then we all headed to Hernder Estate Wines for the family formals and reception.  This was my first time at Hernder … what a beautiful location!

I absolutely loved the centerpieces!  All of the florals were done by Naturally Beautiful Floral Designs.  They did a fantastic job!!

Mmmm … cake pops!!

Congratulations Louis and Leanne!!  It was such a pleasure working with you and meeting your awesome family and friends!  I know you will have many long and happy years of marriage!
