My second wedding this past weekend was just as amazing as the first.  Once again, it was calling for thunder showers and not a single drop fell on us … WAHOO!  I fell in love with Zachary and Sophia the moment I met them at last year’s bridal show.  This insanely sweet couple has so much love for one another and they wear their hearts on their sleeves … it was a joy watching them start their lives together as man and wife!

We started the day at the gorgeous Homewood Suites Hotel in downtown Hamilton.  Zac and Sophie both got ready there which made the preparation photos a breeze.  All of Sophia’s details were accented with blush pink and lace … a classy combination for a sophisticated girl!

Va va voom Sophia … look at those lashes!!!

The day was filled from beginning to end with joyful tears and warm embraces.  It was an honour to be a part of it!!

Zachary and his buddies were so much fun!!  A great group of guys …

Two amazing “first looks” in one weekend … how did I get so lucky?  I barely held back my emotions during this one … you guys are just the sweetest!!

After the first look we went down to Bayfront Park for some “formal” pictures.  Now that’s a good lookin’ bridal party if I do say so myself … ; )

Speechless … I don’t even have words …

Sophia, you belong on a magazine cover somewhere … like, for real!

And one of my favourite things about Bayfront … the tall grasses …

After formals we made our way to the Ancaster Mill where the ceremony and reception were being held.  Here are a couple special moments just before the ceremony …

The Ancaster Mill has an outdoor chapel that is so romantic and intimate.  It’s cozy, but lovely for pictures!

All of the handmade details did not go unnoticed!  Zac and Sophie made all of their guests CDs to take home as favours … such a unique idea!  But my favourite detail was the hand carved centerpieces …

Sophia & Zachary,
I could not feel more blessed having been a part of your special day!!  I wish you many long years of sweet memories and happiness together!
Don’t be a stranger!!
xoxo, Melissa
