There were quite a few things we were excited about going into Jordan and Andrew’s wedding day. For one, it would be taking place at Kurtz Orchards in Niagara on the Lake, one of our favourite vineyards in Ontario. They would also be sharing a sparkler-lit first dance in front of a coach house during golden hour. On top of that, they would also be having a horse join them at sunset for a stroll through the vines.
All of these elements lent themselves to a fairytale, storybook theme that allow Jordan and Andrew’s dreamy decorations, picturesque backdrops, and emotional narrative to shine through.
We knew from talking to J+A before the wedding day that we’d have plenty of time for our creative session during golden hour and, knowing from experience just how beautiful sunsets at Kurtz tend to be, we decided to make it that much more magical by shooting their walk amongst the vines (along with their choreographed first dance) in RAW on the Canon C200. The extra detail, vivid colours and increased dynamic range really brought the footage to life. So much so, that it’s been our go-to format for specific portions of our couples’ weddings this past season.
This one’s a stunner and anything we say on here couldn’t possibly do the narrative and visuals any justice so hit that play button and enjoy!
