M&A’s Waterfront Wedding at The Cable Wharf was a day nothing short of magical. There’s something uniquely romantic about a foggy, drizzly day in Nova Scotia. It’s as if the weather wraps the world in a cozy blanket, creating an intimate and magical atmosphere. This was precisely the backdrop for M&A’s wedding at The Cable Wharf on the waterfront in Halifax, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
Getting Ready at the Muir: A Touch of Luxury
The day began at the luxurious Muir Hotel, a perfect choice for M&A’s bridal party preparations. Nestled in the vibrant heart of the city, the Muir offers an elegant and sophisticated setting, making it an ideal backdrop for pre-wedding moments. The hotel’s modern amenities, combined with its impeccable service, ensured that the bridal party felt pampered and relaxed. The rooms, with their stunning views and plush interiors, provided a serene environment for M&A to get ready for their big day.
A First Look to Remember at BKS
One of the most memorable moments of the day was M&A’s first look, held at the Muir’s private speakeasy bar, BKS. With its 90’s art deco vibes, BKS offered a unique and stylish backdrop for this intimate moment. The warm lighting and elegant décor created a romantic atmosphere, allowing me to capture portraits that are both timeless and full of emotion. The couple’s expressions of joy and love were simply priceless as they saw each other for the first time, setting the tone for the rest of the day.
Bridal Party Portraits at Queen’s Marquee
The rain paused long enough for us to capture stunning bridal party portraits at Queen’s Marquee. This picturesque location in Halifax provided a beautiful setting for the group photos. The charm of Queen’s Marquee, combined with the overcast sky, made for striking and memorable images. The entire bridal party looked stunning dressed in all black attire, and their joy and excitement was evident in every shot.
Thoughtful Details and Elegant Touches
M&A’s wedding was a testament to thoughtful planning and exquisite taste. Every detail was meticulously put together, reflecting their personalities and love for Nova Scotia. The couple rented a luxury car for their downtown Halifax portraits, adding a touch of glamour to their photos. The cocktail hour featured a seafood theme, perfectly capturing the essence of the region. A bagpiper played during the ceremony, adding a traditional and heartfelt touch to the proceedings.
The ceremony itself was framed by a breathtaking broken floral arch, created by Props Floral Design, creating a stunning focal point as M&A exchanged their vows. Later in the evening, the bride surprised everyone with a second look for the dance, adding an element of surprise and delight to the celebration.
Proud Parents and Joyful Celebrations
One of the most touching aspects of the day was witnessing the pride and joy radiating from M&A’s parents. Their beaming faces and heartfelt expressions of love and pride added an extra layer of warmth to the celebration. It was clear that they were overjoyed to see their children so happy and in love.
A Celebration to Remember
Despite the fog and light rain, M&A’s wedding at The Cable Wharf was a celebration filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments. The energy on the dance floor was electric, with friends and family coming together to celebrate this beautiful couple. As a wedding photographer, it was a privledge to capture these moments and be a part of M&A’s special day!
