Jon + Bella
This wedding was as spectacular as it was quaint. Bella and Jon got ready in separate locations before convening for a private first look at Kehoe & Kin in Wainfleet, Ontario. Nestled among farmers' fields, the rustic barn was the ideal setting for this relaxed, easy going couple.
Their first look, tucked away in the quiet corners of Kehoe & Kin, was intimate and emotional, a beautiful moment shared before the excitement of the day kicked into full gear. The private exchange was a perfect reflection of their love for each other—sweet, thoughtful, and genuine.
Before the ceremony, Bella and Jon took a moment to breathe in the fresh air and connect with nature. Together, they strolled through a nearby conservation area, the wildflowers surrounding them creating a peaceful, timeless backdrop. Although dark storm clouds loomed overhead, the couple remained entirely focused on what mattered — each other.
A heavy downpour just before the ceremony had everyone wondering if they’d need to move things inside. But, in true magical fashion, the sun peeked through the clouds just in time, creating the perfect moment for Bella and Jon to say their vows surrounded by family and friends. The barn’s rustic charm paired with the open skies set the stage for a beautiful outdoor ceremony.
The reception carried on the relaxed, whimsical atmosphere with an outdoor cocktail hour featuring a popsicle stand, picnic games, and delicate macramé decor. These thoughtful touches added a playful vibe to the day, perfectly mirroring the couple’s fun-loving personalities. Guests then gathered inside the barn, which was immaculately decorated with string lights and rustic accents, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere for the evening’s celebration.
From the unexpected weather to Bella’s dream-like tulle skirt, everything about this day felt enchanted. Every moment, from their quiet stroll in the wildflowers to their heartfelt vows, was a testament to their love and connection.
