Matt is a landscape architect and Sarah is in marketing. We both are very passionate and driven – we enjoy working hard, but also enjoy our downtime together.
We initially weren’t sure that we’d have a wedding at all so landing at our style/mood was consumed by the mantra of easy, fun and special to us…
From the moment I saw the Barrel Hall at Sirromet I knew I wanted that warm romantic candlelit atmosphere, minimal florals and colour and just the abundance of candles reflecting off crisp whites and neutrals. The reception space turned out dreamier than we could have ever imagined.
We were nearly inseparable after the first couple of dates. It was hard not to want to be with each other all the time.
I’ve been a wedding photographer for 15 years and Hannah is a landscaper. Hannah and I are opening up an elopement chapel, Faithwood Chapel, as our first venture together.
It was our first time seeing each other after being long-distance when I got those crazy butterflies in my stomach and understood I would never be able to be without him.
I think we knew pretty early on that it was something special but after we moved to a new town together and lived with each other for the first time, it really sealed the deal
From the day we started dating, we became best friends. Like a hand in a glove, our personalities mesh well together. Or as our friends would say – he is the calm to my chaos.
We had a very small and untraditional wedding. To be honest we didn’t know what we wanted so we started by each choosing 2 none negotiables and went from there.
The wedding style I wanted was timeless, classic, and romantic. I wanted a design that looked effortless and unlike a traditional wedding.
In the beginning, our relationship was a case of right person, wrong time. At 21 and 22 respectively, we both had a lot of growing up to do and ended up parting ways.
