Preview of Aksana & Mark's Elegant Evermore Wedding by Joey Rudd Photogrpahy

Aksana & Mark’s wedding at Evermore Weddings and Events was truly an elegant affair. I enjoyed being able to witness this special event and celebrate with this lovely couple! The day started at the incredible Almonte Riverside Inn with all of its charm and elegance. I have had the opportunity to photograph at this location on a few occasions and have always enjoyed its natural light and curated interior design. The rest of the day was celebrated at the always lovely Evermore. Although the autumn air was starting to get brisk, Aksana and Mark (and their guests) braved the chilly fall air and held their ceremony outside surrounded by the beautiful colours that autumn brings.
I had the privilege of having the talented (and fun to work with!) Ryan Seyeau from Rubicon Photography join me for the day.
I am excited to share a few preview photos from Aksana & Mark’s wedding with you here.

Sarah & Zephir's Farm Wedding by Joey Rudd Photography

I was so excited for Sarah & Zephir’s wedding leading up to their big day and the day itself did not disappoint! It was so much fun capturing memories for this amazing and beautiful couple! Ophelia (their 1937 Buick) was a huge part of their day, as well as so many friends and family from around the world! There were so many tender moments and I had to fight back tears several times, like as Sarah’s father talked about dancing with her as a small child and looking forward then to dancing with her on this day. I couldn’t help but think, ‘that’s me now with my tiny daughters!’ or when Sarah surprised her new husband with the most beautiful song I have ever heard at a wedding. You can check out more of Sarah’s beautiful music here.
I love all of the photos from this wedding so much and had a tremendously hard time selecting which ones to include (or not include) on this blog. It’s going to be a long one folks!
The Saziemaz Farm was transformed into an amazing venue with so much help from friends and family. I was excited to see the same person who performed my wife and my ceremony over seven years ago marry this couple as well. Chris from Peaking Zebra was there to work his magic with video and Flowers By Maggie did an incredible job with the bouquets and other flowers. I could go on with how much fun this wedding was, I haven’t even mention the ice cream, the cheese bar, or amazing food yet, but I will just skip to sharing some photos from their wedding with you.

The photo above was a double exposure that I created in camera by keeping one photo from Sarah & Zephir’s engagement session still on my camera card for several months and then taking a second photo on top of it on their wedding day in order to create this unique double exposure that warps time.
I love to create unique and fun photograph experiences for my couples. I love that my couples allow me to be creative on their wedding day (or in this case, on two different days spanning several months).
