The ceremony took place inside the garden courtyard at the Guelph City Hall, surrounded by glass windows of the tall building. Although the courtyard was surrounded by walls, the wind would blow through the courtyard rustling skirts and creating windswept hairstyles.

Although this was the couple's first marriage they wanted an intimate ceremony, surrounded by just close family members. It was important for the bride, to have her father, who had late stage Alzheimer's, and her mother, who lived in a different province, to attend the wedding. With everyone in attendance, the couple said their personal vows on the most beautiful day in the courtyard of the local city hall.  The wedding was simple, elegant, intimate and just perfect. It was an honor to capture this special time in their lives.
