to this amazing shoot with Leora and Shawn.⁠
⁠
They wanted something really special for their photos. When the opportunity arose for them to book a Dream Session with us, which was near their home in Israel at the time, they jumped at the opportunity!⁠
⁠
Caesarea is an ancient port town dating back to 20 BCE. It features amazing Roman ruins including an aqueduct, coliseum, and many columns. It was an amazing place to take photos, with the added significance that it was where Shawn and Leora actually got married. It was just spectacular!⁠

Even though summer has come to an end, here are some tips for the unexpected heat wave or humid weather ☀️⁠
⁠
If your wedding happens to fall on a day during a heat wave or a humid day, it can be tough to keep your look fresh for the entire day 💅💄 ⁠
⁠
Keep your beauty look flawless by choosing lightweight, breathable makeup to avoid melting and focusing on humidity-resistant and waterproof products; hairspray is your friend! Opt for simple and secure hairstyles, like braids or buns, to stay put in the heat. ⁠
⁠
Don’t forget to keep your skin protected by choosing SPF products! 🌞⁠

A wedding by the water or at the beach⁠ is always a favourite of ours, but there are some things to consider to stay looking flawless all day long!⁠
⁠
Choose lightweight, breathable attire and opt for lightweight, waterproof makeup to withstand the hot weather and off-shore breeze 🌊⁠
⁠
Simple, secure hairstyles like beachy waves or loose updos are perfect for combating the elements and match the beach-vibe. Don’t forget to protect your skin with SPF when near the water and stay hydrated ☀️🏖️⁠

Whether it’s a destination wedding or a matter of choosing your wedding season, there are many things to consider when it comes to your look 💅💄👰⁠
⁠
If you choose a winter or wedding or want to travel to a cold climate for your special day, moisturizer is your friend! To keep your skin looking hydrated, make sure you have moisturizer and lip balm on hand!⁠
⁠
When it comes to hairstyles, you really can opt for anything. Your curls will hold and blow outs or straight hair will stay tame; no need for endless hairspray! ⁠
⁠
Also, when choosing your attire, you have more options. You can go for a short sleeve, or long lace sleeves and not have to worry about dripping in sweat! ⁠

Getting married at the beach or by the water offers the perfect backdrop for your day with little need for extra decor. But for the decor you do want to include, there are many options you can choose to compliment the landscape! ⁠

⁠
White, Green, and Gold: ⁠
This elegant combo brings a touch of sophistication and blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings.⁠

Peach, Blush, and Sage: ⁠

Considering a first look at your wedding? Here are some insights to help you decide!
⁠
Pros:⁠
🌟 Intimate Moment: Share a special, private moment together before the ceremony. It’s a beautiful opportunity to connect and soak in the significance of the day.⁠
🌟 Calm the Nerves: Seeing each other before the ceremony can ease those pre-ceremony jitters and make you both feel more relaxed.⁠
🌟 Stunning Photos: First looks offer more opportunities for portraits! Capture raw emotions and beautiful reactions in a private setting, resulting in candid photos you’ll treasure forever.⁠
🌟 More Time Together: Enjoy more time alone together on your big day, rather than waiting until after the ceremony to be alone! ⁠
⁠
Cons:⁠
⏳ Traditional Reveal: It can take away the traditional, dramatic moment of seeing each other for the first time as you walk down the aisle.⁠
📸 Time Management: A first look requires additional time before the ceremony, which means a tighter schedule and possibly starting your day earlier.⁠
🌼 Logistical Challenges: Coordinating a first look can add complexity to the timeline, especially if you have a large bridal party or multiple locations.⁠
⁠
⁠
Every couple is unique, so choose what feels right for you on your big day. Whether you go for a first look or stick to tradition, your day will be magical! 💕 ⁠

One of the top things on the list for your wedding is choosing the date. Depending on what season you choose will dictate almost everything like attire, venue, decor and more! ⁠
⁠
When you choose to get married can also make a big difference in cost! Here are the months that are often more affordable:⁠
⁠
January & February: ⁠
While this month isn’t so popular because of the cold, but you can start the year with a winter wedding. Venues often have lower rates after the holiday rush. Just make sure to check the weather, as winter snow storm could change your plans!⁠
⁠
March: ⁠
We all know that March can either be cold and snowy or lush with spring. ⁠
However, this time of year offers mild weather so you’re not dripping in sweat and budget-friendly prices before peak spring and summer season hits.⁠
⁠
November: ⁠
Enjoy the beautiful fall colours and cooler temperatures, perfect for an intimate, cozy wedding. However, consider your location as the weather can be harsh this time of year! ⁠
⁠
Stephanie and Francis were married in November on a crisp, fall day. ⁠Their day was sweet and emotional and even made me tear up a few times as well. Stephanie got ready in the coziness of her family home and the first look was in a green space nearby, capturing the fall colours. Then, their ceremony and reception took place (The Symes) adding an industrial-chic feel to the day!⁠

Dreaming of a beautiful outdoor wedding, but have a strict budget? Here are some ideas! 🌳✨⁠
⁠
Opt for naturally beautiful venues like parks or gardens to save on decor.⁠
⁠
DIY Décor: Get creative with repurposed household items to make table numbers or signs and use seasonal flowers to add a personal touch. ⁠
⁠
Build a Simple Altar: Stop at your local construction store to pick up wood and other material for a simple altar. You’d be surprised at how beautiful it will look when everything is all put together. ⁠
⁠
Use Single Blooms and 2nd Hand Vases: With varied, individual blooms, it gives a more informal, summer vibe. And with repurposed you can either go for different colours or clear for a more sleek look. ⁠
⁠
Hang String Lights: To add a nice touch for the evening, hang string lights for the perfect lighting and vibe!⁠
⁠
Overall, keep things simple and you can still have your dream wedding!⁠
