Goldie Mill Ruins Wedding

Goldie Mill Ruins Wedding :: Shannon + Neil

Shannon and Neil’s Goldie Mill Ruins wedding was full of love, laughter and smiles. Their summer wedding started with bride and groom prep in Guelph, just before their first look.

It was the sweetest!

Shannon and Neil met while studying at the U of G. It felt pretty special to head back to campus where it all began for them. It was the perfect place to document the start of their new chapter. Shannon and I also studied art together, so it was extra neat to visit the arts building Zavitz for photos!Groom getting his boutonniere put onBride and groom having their first look at the University of Guelph Bride greeting groom during their University of Guelph First look Groom looking happy to see the bride for the first time at the University of Guelph Groom giving bride a very big hug during their first look Bride and her bridesmaids in blue dresses at the University of GuelphBride and her bridesmaids smiling and laughing at the University of GuelphWhite and navy bridal bouquets all togetherWedding party walking on the University of Guelph campus Bride and groom portrait at the University of Guelph Close up photo of the bride and groom holding handsBride and groom walking and holding hands at the University of Guelph Groom hugging bride tightly

In the middle of our shoot the weather was all over the place – cloudy skies, rain drops, and bright sun we had it all weather-wise. Shannon and Neil were so relaxed about it, and just embraced their time together as we waited out the rain under umbrellas. They saw it as a quiet moment alone in the woods, and shared a hug as the rain pattered down. Once the rain cleared, Shannon shared the prettiest spot by the river. As soon as I saw it I knew we’d venture in!

This is one of my favourite ceremony spots, and I’d love to capture another Goldie Mill Ruins wedding!Wedding party standing together in front of Goldie Mill RuinsGoldie Mill Ruins wedding Guelph Grooms parents walking him down the isle during their Goldie Mill Ruins ceremonyBrideView of the brides dress from the back as her parents walk her down the isle Bride and Groom saying vows during their Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBride and groom holding hands during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBride and groom smiling during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBridesmaid holding their bouquets during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremony Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBride and groom holding hands during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyGroomsmen smiling during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyGuests smiling and clapping during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBride and Groom signing their marriage license during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBridesmaids smiling during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBrides parents smiling during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBridesmaid holding their bouquet during the Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBride and groom exiting their Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBride and groom exiting their Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyBride and groom exiting their Goldie Mill Ruins wedding ceremonyClose up photo of bride and grooms wedding ringsBright blues and teals with gold accents, provided a beautiful backdrop for their reception at the Delta Chelsea .  Following a few spins of the ‘wedding wheel’ the wedding party energetically opened the dance floor, sunglasses in tow. If you are looking for a fun and interactive way to avoid guests clinking the glasses, check out the their wedding wheel below. DJ Bear kept everyone dancing with an awesome mix of music throughout the night.

Congratulations Shannon and Neil, thanks for having us capture your special day!
