What does a halloween wedding shoot look like? a midsummer nightmare...


This was a spooky shoot a few wedding vendors from Toronto, ON put together. It's the perfect scary treat for this All Hallow Eve day. I hope you are eating candy, carving pumpkins, and watching Hocus Pocus. Happy Halloween!

a beautiful enchanted garden wedding

Ever wondered what an Enchanted Forest wedding might look like? Here's a magical photo shoot that makes me dream of summer days, green grass, pink florals and woodland fairies. 

My jewellery is featured on the bride and bridesmaid. I take vintage family heirlooms, and antique pieces and recycle them into new modern pieces. Something old, something new and maybe something blue for a bride to wear on her wedding day. This shoot is something real special and even makes you believe there's a woodland nymph or tree troll going to pop out of this enchanted forest. 

This shoot was lucky enough to be published in The wedding planner magazine for Fall 2014.

top 5 wedding vendors in Toronto... for the vintage chic bride!

Here are the top 5 wedding vendors in Toronto to serve you a dose of beautiful vintage chicness on your special day. I've worked with all of them and can't say enough about their service, commitment and lovely personalities.



1. Bueno Market makes the most beautiful stationary. She does wedding suite invitations, RSVPs, seating charts, place cards, number table cards, dessert table cards, EVERYTHING. The best thing? She goes ABOVE and beyond to make your day have that special touch. She even goes as far as to incorporate a vintage lace (from the 1800's) piece into your wedding invitations. Check her out here. www.buenomarket.com

2. Blair Nadeau is the most talented milliner I know (and it's not just because she is the only milliner I know). Her work is so exquisite and makes your heart flutter every time you lay eyes upon one of her new creations. Check out over 150 of her creations here. http://www.blairnadeau.com/

3. Vintage Rentals is a lovely place in the country near Caledon. Vikki is the most lovely lady. Her barn is full of treasures and her customer service is top notch. She's so lovely to work with and has the most amazing collection to make your wedding day unique and beautiful. Check out their website or make a site visit to their barn.

4. Maureen Patricia Bridal creates beautiful custom hand designed wedding dresses. Maureen hand makes all her own dresses. Her studio is the cutest place complete with hanging chandeliers and Maureen herself who is adorable. Click here to visit her shop. http://www.maureenpatriciatoronto.com/

5. Hattitude Jewellery is made from vintage reclaimed pieces. Hattie (me!) takes old brooches, earrings and re-works, recycles them into new modern day jewellery. Sometimes a bride will give Hattie their grandmothers brooch to be turned into a new modern piece for her to wear on her wedding day. Something old, something blue. These vintage inspired necklace are made from family heirlooms or old pieces of jewellery. Check out the jewellery site here. www.hattitudejewels.etsy.com
