For the last two years, I kept hearing about this venue that ties all things beautiful, outdoorsy and romantic all into one camp like setting. This venue was of course Whispering Springs Wilderness Retreat. A venue you can bring your guests glamping, unplug (there’s no cell service!) and spend a weekend together.

Last December, I got an enquiry from a couple telling me they were getting married at said venue and that one of the things they are most excited for, was having their big beautiful dog present (Finnigan!). Well, if you follow me online, you know dogs are life basically and tie in my love for outdoors, cottage, camping and basically everything these two empower, I knew it would be an incredible fit. (Thanks Matt + Monika for passing my name along!!)

Well, I was right. I spent the day laughing and crying (and dancing and eating Woody’s burgers #dreamwedding) and I couldn’t love Erin and Sashar more. Also, their friends and family treated me like one of their own which doesn’t always happen, and I truly am thankful for that too.

Erin was a planning QUEEN who just so happens to be uber creative too and a good chunk of the decor she made herself AND planned everything for the day perfectly. When I asked Erin, “any planning advice for future couples?” shes said, “Your vendors are everything! These are the people you’re working with on the most important day. If you don’t get along with them on a personal level, you won’t like their final product and you won’t enjoy your wedding day as much. Your vendors will be amongst the closest to you all day so you need to make sure everyone works well together” (Scroll to the bottom to see Erins dream team vendors!).

Erin and Sashar, THANK YOU!!! Your photos still make me cry, laugh and be in awe. Your day was a dream and I am so darn happy you found me (and are letting me share your faces all over the world LOL)

xoxo

As a wedding photographer, you are always hoping to find people who share your same outlook on life, who trust you and your crazy ideas, who make you laugh and just people you want to hang out with on the regular. Well I 10000000% found that in Robyn + Scott. I also have been so lucky to of documented quite a few of their friends weddings too (like Rachel + Matt at Fanshawe Pioneer Village or Rebecca and Pat at Berekley Church or Rosie + Dave at the Story’s Building or Christina and Zach in Grand Bend and Shane + Andrea’s camp wedding at Bark Lake Leadership Centre in Haliburton), all of whom are my kind of people. Nothing means more to me then a friend or client recommending me to someone dear to them, so thank you thank you THANK YOU #teammegan!

Robyn, who is quite the crafty and creative bad-ass business woman(be sure to check out her incredible handwoven skills here), nailed it when it came to the planning and details of their wedding. Every little detail was so beautiful from the Shisha table with string lights and pillows to the black candles and vintage holders to the hand written name tags on plant paper (you plant your name tag and watch it grow!!). Scott had a part in this too I might add haha he built some of the wooden details including the Shisha table for their guests!

In addition to all the beautiful details, Robyns moms property and farm couldn’t of been a more perfect location surrounded by fall colours, long grass and beautiful gardens.

Robyn and Scott, I love you guys and cant wait to see you again. I am truly honoured to of been a part of your day. It will forever be a favorite
