Letting love shine on a day when the rain clouds came right at the end of the service is exactly what Stef and Jay did on their wedding day. They smiled through the light rain and enjoyed the day despite the weather.

Getting married in a vineyard in Southern Ontario’s green belt, they had pictured a sweeping vista of grapes and leaves in the background with open and warm blue skies to compliment it all. Instead they got overcast with scattered showers and I had to improvise.

I had scouted the location out a head of time and found a few sheltered places where the wind wouldn’t be so bad, and I did the best with what was there. Stef and Jay really brightened up the photos with their smiles and attitude.

Jay didn’t want to let Stef’s dress get dirty, so he was a true gentleman and carried her to the car, but not before a quick photo op to prove he actually did it!

In the end, they did find a spot where they could be photographed with a beautiful, sunny, vineyard in the background.
