What to Expect for your Engagement Session

1. Consider Off Season Months Since this virus has hit us during the spring season many couple are moving their wedding to the fall which is already a busy season for the wedding industry. Consider moving your wedding to either November, December, January, February or March. All of these months are classed as the off season and service providers in the wedding industry are more likely to have availability. 2. Weekday or Sunday Wedding Just like off season months, having a weekday or Sunday wedding is also an option. If you are looking to move your wedding to the fall this is most likely going to be the best chance at being able to keep all of the vendors you have already booked. 3. Downsize Your Plans Instead of having a large wedding you may have planned consider downsizing your guest list. Although this isn't Ideal it would still allow for immediate family to attend. You could even live stream the ceremony for extended family to watch. 4. Elope Now, Have a Larger Wedding Later If you and your partner want to get married right away and don't want to wait you could always elope. Later in the year or even next year you could have a big celebration with all of your family friends. 5. Move it to the Same Time Next Year If your wedding is this spring or early summer and you are postponing it, but you have always wanted to have it at that time of year consider moving it to next year. Some venues and vendors may still have openings for next spring on a Saturday. If not consider having your wedding on a Friday or Sunday like mentioned above.

You might be wondering whether or not you should have engagement photos done. I am here to give you a few ideas why you should have them done to help you in your decision.

This past year has completely flown by! On September 7th, my niece and nephew turned one and it definitely doesn’t feel like it has been a year.

Kristina and Brandon were married on August 25th surrounded by many loving family and friends. The morning of the wedding as everyone one was running around getting ready, I found Kristina sitting quietly by a window doing her makeup and sipping on a mimosa. I asked her if she was nervous and her response was that she was excited but still a little nervous.

On August 18th, Ashley and Tyrell were married outside at Spring Side Park on a beautiful summers day right by the falls. They shared their special day with many family and friends and especially their adorable son Bentley.

On August 4th, Kaitlyn and Jon were married on a hot summers day at the beautiful Loyalist Golf & Country Club. Their wedding was filled with so much raw emotion, there were many tears of joy shed by family and friends.

Hey friends, one of my goals this year is to share some more of my personal life and what I get up to on a daily basis. So, this blog is going to be some insight on who I am and some of my favourite things! I actually never thought I would be a photographer. I attended the University of Guelph for agriculture with my major being equine management. Growing up I always loved visiting my grandparents farm; seeing cows and riding horses. As I got older I started to show cows and become heavily involved in 4-H and my love for agriculture grew. My high school job was milking cows then I worked at a feed and farm supply store then in feed sales for a large agriculture feed company. But throughout this time, I always had a camera by my side and I honestly never thought I would be able to turn by hobby into a business. Once I finished school in 2017, it was time to give it a shot and I have never looked back!

On May 26th, probably one of the hottest days that month, Kaitlyn and Jacob were married in a beautiful church surrounded by their closest family and friends. Kaitlyn’s dress and hair piece were both absolutely stunning. Their décor included beautiful pink peonies, baseball memorabilia and a big hot air popcorn machine. They picked out the… The post Kaitlyn + Jacob – Beautiful Church Wedding appeared first on Sarina Darlene Photography.
