It is always so beautiful!.” - N PHOTOGRAPHY: Raw Footage Photography (rawfootagephotos.com) London, ON “We planned our wedding in only 9 months and usually you book a photographer a year in advance. I also really wanted our whole HRM Photography team to be at my wedding as guests. They are family to me so I wanted them to celebrate with us! We decided on Sophie from Raw Footage Photography. She is a friend of ours and I love her work. It was perfect! I loved the morning session of photos, the first look and our photo session with just the two of us. It was an early morning with our ceremony starting at 10am, we had our photos done at 8:30am and we had the best light!” - N THEME: “We really didn't have a vision or theme, all I knew was I wanted an outdoor Hindu ceremony. I wanted the whole day to be about
