Cellar 52 is one of my favourite wedding venues in Waterloo Region, and I was delighted to photograph Kristen and Chris’ wedding day there in September of 2023!
While I’ve been photographing weddings at Cellar 52 and all Stella Collective venues for years, I always find myself newly inspired by each couple that I work with, especially combined with the dynamic surroundings of the St Jacobs area outside of Cellar 52 and the venue interiors as well. In this post you’ll find two of my favourite Cellar 52 images from this wedding season - Kristen and Chris outside of Cellar 52 being photographed with the stairs and the colourful St Jacobs mural. The photo at the very end of this post is a creative night portrait that was actually created using a combination of the bridal suite on the second floor of Cellar 52, and the string lights hanging on the patio on the venue, where cocktail hour takes place during warmer wedding days.
I’m thrilled with how both of these photos turned out, and I look forward to continuing to iterate on these ideas in the coming years of photographing weddings at Cellar 52 in St Jacobs Ontario. Beyond the creative portraits, this blog post is FULL of candid moments from Kristen and Chris’ gorgeous wedding day. You’ll find detail photos and portraits that were captured inside of the sunroom of Cellar 52, you’ll find a touching first look (something I highly recommend), you’ll find teary-eyed wedding members, hugs from parents, food photos from the always delicious Gilt Catering, and beautiful sunset photos in the quaint town of St Jacobs Ontario.
In addition to photographing their day, we also captured a highlight film for Kristen and Chris which you’ll find just below this.
