Century Barn Wedding | Cavan Ontario

I’ll never turn down the opportunity to shoot a Century Barn Wedding in Cavan. Not only is it one of the prettiest properties in the rolling Cavan hills East of Toronto, but the very best people own it (hi Susan & Dave!). When Leah & Peter reached out to me about their turn for a Century Barn wedding… you know I wasn’t about to turn that down.
Let’s talk about this wedding for a minute, shall we? Leah & Peter picked a September day to celebrate and we had pretty much every kind of weather. I can’t help but laugh when I think back to past weddings and how the possibility of rain was the biggest of our problems… oh how trivial it all seems in hindsight. These two gems weren’t scared of a few dark clouds though, they waited to make a call on the ceremony as long as they could, and the clouds parted just in time! The ceremony took place under a gorgeous chuppah (although without the canopy as the wind would have lifted that sucker right off the ground), and there was not a dry eye in the crowd as the vows were exchanged. An unplugged ceremony (heck yesssss) had everyone tuned in and you could feel the love pulsing through every moment. If you want to limit the distraction of technology at your ceremony, I cannot recommend an unplugged ceremony enough.
The party began immediately following their heartfelt ceremony with wedding party photos and of course, some sweet portraits of Leah & Peter on Century Barn’s sprawling property. We couldn’t have been happier with how things played out! Oh, and did I mention their adorable dog Bowie (also my dog’s name) was part of the festivities? He was such a good boy and posed perfectly for photos before he headed home for the evening. We had such a fantastic day with these truly wonderful people and the best dang team in the game (scroll to the bottom for vendor love).

Thank you to Leah & Peter for making this such a fantastic time at one of our favourite venues! Julie & I are so grateful to you and your families for all the love and joy you shared with us. We hope you had the best day ever and that you’ll keep in touch :).
