Party like you’ve been waiting two years for this backyard wedding reception…oh wait, we have!

Backyard wedding reception after 2 years of Pandemic delays

So excited to be sharing images from Olivia and Kenzie’s backyard wedding reception today, or – as we like to call it, “Wedding 2.0”!

If you’re a regular to the blog, you might recognize Olivia and Kenzie – ’cause well, this is the fourth time they’ve been behind my lens! Like so many couples who planned to get married in 2020, delays and postponements completely upturned the plans that Kenzie and Olivia had made for their backyard wedding in Mountain, Ontario. Fortunately, they went ahead with a ‘micro wedding’ in 2020, and have since welcomed their bouncing baby girl, Toni, to their family! I was given the amazing privilege of documenting their winter maternity photos and their ‘newborn’ photos and through all these sessions, I’ve just become so used to having a reason to look forward to seeing these guys! Now, with wedding 2.0 finally behind us, it feels bittersweet to be wrapping up all of the photoshoots we had lined up for these guys! I’ll keep my fingers double crossed that our fates cross again as I’m not ready to say goodbye to this incredible family! Awe, *wipes away tears*!

Okay, here goes! Without further ado, enjoy this final piece to Olivia and Kenzie’s backyard wedding celebrations, for wedding 2.0! Lots of family pictures, a super snazzy vintage car, and the most wonderful people you could ever hope to meet! Enjoy!

Congrats, Olivia and Kenzie!  I’ll always be forever grateful to have met you through this time of planning your wedding, and in a way, I’m not mad that this pandemic dragged on our time together just that little bit longer (haha)! Bittersweet that your celebrations have come to an end, but I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and your family. Lots of love! xo, A.
