Not A Wedding Photographer - Kiel & Carly

This past weekend I attended the wedding of Kiel and Carly at a scenic little winery in Niagara called Vineland Estates.

This was my first non-Italian, non-traditional, non-banquet hall wedding and I was excited. I met Kiel (exactly a year ago) when we both were starting out at our PR agency. I remember when we had to drive up to Niagara Falls together for a work event, barely knowing each other in my second week on the job. He told me all about his amazing and smart fiancee Carly, and a year later (we were not only great friends) but I was attending their wedding. Along with my two other great ~~co-workers~~ friends, (Kathleen and Navi) we road-tripped it up to Vineland for the big event.

My favourite unique touch was the bride walking down the aisle to Cat Power's Sea of Love, and I also enjoyed the wine tasting before dinner. Carly looked gorgeous, and was one of the most relaxed brides I'd ever seen, while Kiel looked dapper in his trademark plaid and bow-tie. (He wears plaid everyday). We all had a great time and I was honoured to be one of their chosen guests.

Congratulations to them both! Below are some photos. Enjoy. xx

The Wedding

Diane and Chris have officially tied the knot!

I (Not A Model) was there blogging about the engagement, Save the Date cards and bridal shower so naturally I had to share the grand finale. Seeing my cousin Diane get married was surreal to say the least. I remember when we were kids and she would get phone calls from boys after school at my grandfather's house. To me, she was cooler than Kelly Kapowski. While Zack Morris may have been our crush back then, she couldn't have chosen a better guy to stand by her now.

Overall, the day was beautiful and when I wasn't fulfilling my bridesmaid duties, I tried to capture some of the candid moments. Enjoy!
