INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS WEDDING

Photographer and Swish List Member Jenna of Niagara Wedding Co. shares with us: “One of our favourite wedding from last season was Rita and Matt’s celebration at the always wonderful Kurtz Orchard. From the calm morning, to their heartfelt ceremony, capped with an epic Zaffe and dance party into the night, our team had way too much fun. Or favourite images from their day was when the newlyweds snuck away to enjoy a moment alone exploring the property at sunset. Kurtz really has the most beautiful sunsets, and lots of private grounds to explore! Another perfect Niagara-on-the-Lake wedding in the books, working with a team of outstanding wedding professionals to bring together a unique and unforgettable experience for this couple and their favourite people!”

The bride wore a lace off-the-shoulder gown, paired with whimsical Rifle Paper Co. floral Keds — an unexpected yet charming detail. Her bridal party complemented her look in dusty blue dresses. Her bouquet, a stunning mix of peach, pink, white, and blue blooms, featured romantic trailing ribbons.

The ceremony was set against a backdrop of Gracewood Estate’s picturesque orchards, with floral arrangements perched atop wine barrels — an elegant nod to the region’s vineyard charm. As Matt and Rita exchanged vows, their happiness radiated through every moment, making for one of the most esthetically pleasing events imaginable.
