The Hollows Camp Wedding | Stephanie + Jimmy

Oh, this wedding day!! What a photographer’s dream. I met Stephanie back in our second year of university—she’s one of those people who’s endlessly creative, wildly talented, and just radiates kindness. I always knew her wedding day was going to be something special, and she and Jimmy absolutely made it their own.

These high school sweethearts tied the knot in early September at The Hollows Camp in Bradford, Ontario. The venue was perfect for them—close to home, close to their people, and totally immersed in nature. Everything took place outdoors, beside a quiet lake and surrounded by tall trees. It was relaxed and heartfelt in every way.

When I asked them what mattered most while planning, their answers were so perfectly them. First: craft beer. Ever since living in Calgary, they’ve loved discovering local breweries together. Their two favourites—Flying Monkeys and Muskoka Brewery—were on tap, and they gifted sommelier glasses as favours. They even worked hops into the décor and the boutonnieres. Amazing.

Second on their list: live music and dancing. Naturally, they brought in a live band, and the dance floor stayed full all night.

And third (and probably my favourite part of the day): Stephanie’s Nana was the Flower Lady. At 91, this legend walked the aisle ahead of Stephanie, tossing petals onto the path and at guests, laughing the whole way down. Stephanie gets her love for gardening from her, and this was just the perfect way to include someone who means the world to her.

Everything about the day was thoughtful, fun, and easygoing. It ended with one of the best sunsets I’ve ever photographed—an absolute dream.

Congratulations, Stephanie and Jimmy. Your wedding was magic.
