Fairmont Waterfront Styled Shoot

For this shoot, we dodged rain drops but managed to make it through without getting soaked and of course, as is Mother Nature, the sun came out in brilliant fashion as we were packing up! 

The Fairmont Waterfront provides a stunning pool side patio and garden which we set up for a city elopement.  There can be a lot of misconceptions about elopements... that perhaps the couple is settling and not getting what they really want or you can't wear a wedding dress or have any decor.  Not true! In this case, we chose a gorgeous setting that didn't need a lot of extra decor but we wanted to still make it look like a wedding, specifically by creating an altar and an aisle for the ceremony. We also kept things classic by doing an all-white look and against the green of the garden it really popped.  Overall, it was a small amount of decor but it was a big impact.  

​

If you are eloping and it's only going to be the two of you or a very small guest list then perhaps a wedding cake isn't the way to go but having a toast and a little bite to eat to celebrate is still great and I love the idea of having macarons as a sweet treat.  Super simple in the sense that there are no plates or cutlery needed.

We also chose real touch flowers as opposed to fresh flowers, working with the idea that the decor should be as easy as possible and that these arrangements and the  bouquet could be done well in advance.  

If you are contemplating an elopement you have so many options!  Choose a wedding that makes you and your partner happy be it big or small.
