Magical Hockley Valley Resort Wedding

February 21, 2019

Hilary and Mike are awesome! I know we say that about all of our couples (and we totally mean it) but these guys really are awesome! (Oh and so funny too)! They are both in fashion (and it shows) and both have a quirky sense of humour that compliments our own – so what’s not to love? So when they asked us to be part of their Hockley Valley Resort Wedding last spring, we were thrilled! Not only because Hockley Valley Resort is one of our fave out-of-Toronto venues, but also because we just knew that this was going to be a wild party! Nestled in the hills near Orangville, Hockley is a photographer’s dream – it’s scenic, beautiful, rustic yet elegant, and the food is to die for (try the arancini balls, you won’t regret it!) it’s the perfect setting to say your “I do’s”!

As we mentioned, Hil and Mike are both in the fashion industry so it wasn’t a big surprise that their wedding was beautifully styled. Both used the natural elements and backdrop that their venue is so attractive for and created an incredible vibe in an already beautiful space. With soft and muted tones, such as blush, white, and deep greens – the reception decor brought the outside in and felt like an extension of the gorgeous grounds of the venue. Soft candlelight provided a romantic and intimate dinner atmosphere, as happy chatter and wild laughter of guests rang throughout the evening. Dinner concluded with a romantic kiss under the sparklers while guests mingled outside and inside with cocktails and warm beverages, patiently anticipating the night’s dancing festivities! And let us tell you, the dancing was on point! We are pretty sure that no one was left off the dance floor, where young and older generations alike kicked off their shoes and got their groove on! But don’t take our word for it – scroll through the photos and take a look for yourself!Hockley Valley wedding landscapeBridal details invitationVogue book and ringsHockley Valley bridal dress Bride getting ready at Hockley Valley Bride getting ready at Hockley Valley black and white Bride getting make-up ready at Hockley Valley Bride getting hair done at Hockley Valley Bride getting flower crown at Hockley Valley Bride getting dress at Hockley ValleyBride getting ready at Hockley Valley with bridesmaids Bride getting ready at Hockley Valley collageBride putting shoes on at Hockley Valley Bride putting shoes on at Hockley Valley with birdesmaids Bride reading love letters at Hockley Valley Bride reading love letters at Hockley Valley and opening presentsbrides ring at hockley valleyGroom getting ready at Hockley Valley Groom reading love letter at Hockley ValleyGroom getting ready at Hockley Valley his suitGroom putting on suit at Hockley Valley Groom getting ready at Hockley Valley with groomsmen Bride coming for the first look at Hockley Valley Bride coming for the reveal at Hockley ValleyBride and Groom and the first look at Hockley ValleyBride and Groom first look at Hockley Valley groom seeing his bride for the first time at Hockley Valley Bride and Groom shoes at Hockley Valley Bride and Groom at Hockley ValleyGroom helping his bride at Hockley ValleyIntimate coupe portrait at Hockley ValleyBride and Groom at a barn at Hockley Valley Wedding Bride and Groom in the vineyard at Hockley Valley Bride and Groom holding hands at Hockley ValleyBridal Party at Hockley Valley bridal party at Hockley valley in the forest Groomsmen at Hockely ValleyBridesmaids at Hockley ValleyButterfly at Hockley valley Bride holding dress at Hockley Valley groom kissing bride's shoulder at Hockley Valley Intimate Bride and Groom portrait at Hockley ValleyBride and Groom at Hockley Valley on hillBride and Groom portrait at Hockley ValleyBride and Groom kissing at Hockley ValleyBride and Groom walking away at Hockley ValleyTrees at Hockley Valley Bride and father walking to ceremonyceremony at Hockley valley Bride and Groom exchanging rings at Hockley valleyCouple's first kiss at Hockley valleycouple's first kiss at Hockley Valley ceremonyReception Decor at Hockley Valley Reception Decor and flowers at Hockley ValleyReception Decor at Hockley Valley restaurant Polaroid Booth at Hockley Valley Couple's entrance to reception hockley Valleydinner at hockley valleycheers at hockley valleybride selfie at hockley valleyreception at hockley valleygroomsmen hanging out at the bar at hockley valley couples first dance at hockley valley first dance at hockley valleydancing at hockley valley couple kissing on the dance floor at Hockley Valleyparty at hockley valleyreception party at hockley valley bride dancing at hockley valley guests dancing at reception at Hockley Valley reception dancing at hockely valley couple kissing under sparklers at Hockley valley

Weekly round-up: nothing is spookier than two wedding weekends in a row after you proclaim your retirement to the world! 🫣🤦‍♀️ I owe @gillianfosterphotography for that one! But seriously, this week has been a little lighter (personally - I’m aware that the world is still on fire and I’m processing). But here it is - visually at a least : our last week, spooky ghouls and all!

Some nigh-time gems from my last wedding - this one was definitely an epic way to end on a high! Thank you @jasoncshum for your magic and @marymodd for trusting us in the dark and cold - the struggle was real (but oh so worth it) 🫣🤪🥰

Another weekly round up (i am beginning to get into a groove here!) This week was bittersweet. Everything that is happening in the world just seems so heavy - so finding little everyday things helps.

 Also celebrated my last wedding of my career (or at least that’s the plan). I will still take on small elopements and help out with second shooting for close friends but as for my own big formal weddings, I’m hanging up my weddings shoes.It’s the end of an era for me! I have to say that this one was epic and one for the books and I leave the industry on a super high note (thank you @jasoncshum & @marymodd for the best send -off!)

And that’s it lovers, another week gone. Getting closer to the winter months and I feel at peace. At least at the moment…

How was everyone else’s week?

Weekly round-up: it’s been a tough one. The loss of a very close friend and everything happening in the world has weighed heavy on my heart. But Ali taught me that life isn’t worth living if you don’t find the good in everything and I hold that close to my heart. She was truly a gem! So I’m finding happiness in the smallest things and honouring her memory every day…

How was your week lovers!?

Super late but here is a little summer round-up! It was a busy one this year but we soaked up every moment possible! I’m also super proud that I actually took some photos of our own family with my pro camera and not just my iPhone! Sure, I am not in any of them but I’m 💯  okay with that! LOL. Also, I can’t believe fall is already here - life just goes by so fast! 

What was your favourite moment this summer?

There are times when you are called somewhere and you cannot ignore that call - this was one of those times. Thank you @msbeltempo for making this trip lighter. @alistylinhughes next time we will meet outside of the HSpot and we will tear it up! Love you girls!

This one’s been years in the making - so much so that Hugh is coming out of retirement to capture it with me. I’m not saying it’s going to be epic…but it’s going to be epic! Congrats @hashtagterra & thank you for choosing us with your precious memories!
