Ontario Wedding Photography of Slow dancers in the backyard, while social distancing with their family for COVID safety

The bride and groom danced, with their family joining them for a slow dance in the backyard to celebrate their small, intimate outdoor wedding

Slow dance in the backyard, while social distancing (with their family).

Kathleen and JP wanted to get married downtown, in a big venue, with lots of guests. But this year threw a wrench in those plans.

Instead, they hosted only close family members at their family home, on the waterfront. The ceremony and small gathering ended up being the most magical elopement: better than Kathleen could have imagined.

Without the stress of coordinating a large guest list, they were free to enjoy their day exactly the way they wanted to: laughing with their family, sharing a slow dance on the grass, and later - watching their kids and JP's mother go for a swim out back.
