Jessica & Dane's Carmen's Banquet Hall & Cotton Factory Wedding, Hamilton, Ontario

July 24, 2020

Want to hear something really cute? Jessie and Dane are highschool sweethearts. They drifted apart for a bit (as so many highschool loves do) but Jessica's mom knew in her heart that these two were meant to be together, so she saved some special momentos of them when they were dating and when the two got back together and engaged, she brought them out.

Isn't that actually the cutest thing?

Needless to say their wedding was super emotional, honestly I just can't help but squeal a little when I see emotional grooms like Dane. Mike was teary eyed on our wedding day and it's just the best thing ever to make a grown man cry because he's so happy.

Jessica and Dane not only share a long history together, they are both professional rock climbers. Mike got a chance to do a really cool rock climbing engagement shoot with them and it was such a fun experience. 

These two opted to have a first reveal at The Cotton Factory and it'll just melt your heart. Later on they headed over to a Hamilton, Ontario classic wedding venue, Carmen's Banquet Hall. It was such a pleasure shooting this wedding with so many elements to it that made us fall in love with our job all over again.
