Jay & Laura - Wedding Photography
A full day of wedding photography featuring cinematic nature portraits, multiple locations, and vintage film photography across Kingsville and Harrow, Ontario.
A Day of Planning, Photography & Creativity
Jay and Laura’s wedding gave us the opportunity to combine professional wedding coverage with our love for cinematic photography and natural landscapes.
The day began with a short ceremony at City Hall before we made our way to Kingsville Lakeside Park for the main portrait session. In the week leading up to the wedding, we planned our route through the park, considering lighting conditions, colour combinations, and the best locations to capture the style we had in mind.
Starting along the beachside walkway and working toward the natural gazebo, we took our time finding the right compositions and making the most of the surroundings. The soft shadows and vibrant greens worked perfectly with the cinematic look we were aiming for.
We spent the most time around the iconic stone bridge and nature-surrounded gazebo, exploring different angles and compositions to get the best out of each location. By the time we finished, we were confident we had captured some of the defining photographs of the day.
From Lakeside Park to the Vineyards
Our next stop was Paglione Estate Winery in Harrow, Ontario, where we continued documenting the day through dinner service and additional portraits.
Although dinner coverage wasn’t a main requirement, we took the opportunity to capture the atmosphere and details of the celebration. We also brought Jay and Laura out into the grapevine fields, creating another set of portraits that carried the same natural, cinematic style from our first location.
Moving between locations allowed us to build a more complete collection while keeping the quality and attention to detail consistent throughout the day.
A Different Look Through Film Photography
Alongside our digital coverage, Luke joined us to assist with secondary content and vintage film photography. Using a variety of cameras, including the Mamiya RB67 and other handheld options, he captured different film styles that added another layer to the final collection.
From the greenery of Lakeside Park to the vineyards in Harrow, the film photographs complemented our digital work and brought a more traditional, timeless feel to the project.
Together, we delivered 110 digital photographs and 65 film photographs, giving Jay and Laura a collection that captured their wedding through two distinct photographic approaches.
A Message From Jay
“Thank you guys so much for all the effort and attention to detail you put into our big day. You were amazing and made our day very special!”
Capturing the Moments That Matter
At Obsidian Creations, we believe the best work comes from taking the time to plan, understand each location, and make the most of every opportunity. Jay and Laura’s wedding was a great example of how thoughtful planning and a collaborative approach can turn a day into a collection of photographs worth looking back on for years to come.
We’re grateful to Jay and Laura for trusting us to capture their special day.
