Wedding Photographer | Why this Hamilton wedding helped showcase the diversity of the city | Hamilton, ON

When Matt and Agata approached me at the Ancaster wedding show regarding their proposed Hamilton wedding, I knew it would be a good fit. Being familiar with Hamilton and a number of its hidden gems, I knew I could deliver some amazing images.

We started our day at Matt’s mother’s bungalow where he got ready for his big day. I decided to use black and white images to document his preparations because it added a look and classy tone.

Meanwhile Agata was getting herself ready in the presence of her daughter, sister and mother. Being of Polish decent, her mother and sister gave her a traditional blessing which was emotionally charged.

Once dressed, we headed over to St Stanislaus Roman Catholic church where I chose journalistic style coverage for their ceremony.

By scheduling to be inside at the hottest part of the day, it allowed everyone to cool off.

Summer weddings are generally great weather but it’s important to stay protected from the sun. A sweaty and squinty eyed wedding party is always tricky to work with.

Once everyone had cooled down, we headed outside for a brief outdoor session at Kings Forest Park. The beauty of having a wedding in Hamilton is the range of varying backdrops in such close proximity. You have access to waterfalls, industrial looking historical buildings, parks, lakefront properties, event spaces and a tonne of character. These diverse looks offer incredible photographic opportunities.
