Melissa & John | Museum London wedding | London, Ontario | Canada

Melissa and John were married at the lovely Museum London, which is in a whole other country: Canada! This was the first time I'd shot a wedding outside of the states and it was a fine experience. I had Tim Hortons and paid with weird plasticy money and can confirm that Canadians are bizarrely, delightfully friendly and polite. But before I did any of that, I photographed Melissa and John's wedding. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com I met John a few years ago at a photo conference in Charlottesville, and turned out we lived just a few blocks from each other. He's since gone to live up in the Great White North. You'll note I've taken my soapbox of a website here to post embarrassing pictures of the people I knew at the wedding. Enjoy! We started the day at Hotel Metro in downtown London with some of Melissa's closest and one canine friend. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Meanwhile, Lisa my local second (thanks Lisa!) was with the gentlemen. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.comLondon-Ontario-wedding-photographers-10 We scooted over to Windermere on the Mount for the ceremony. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Special Canadian-only part: signing the registry! © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Maybe because I know John and Melissa and a handful of other folks at the wedding, but there were lots of great street-style scenes to capture. I hope John will be pleased with them, as he happens to be a street photographer himself. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com And look - he managed to marry a total babe.

Unfortunately they didn't let us do anything in the galleries, but I still enjoyed the big windows and the fact that I was shooting in Canada! © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com More "street" action. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Dude on the right here danced with every single lady at the wedding, including me. He insisted and for probably the first time ever at a wedding (because who doesn't want to cajole the photographer into dancing?) I couldn't say no. He's a really good dancer!

This family was so freakin' cute. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.comLondon-Ontario-wedding-photographers-47© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.comLondon-Ontario-wedding-photographers-73© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.comLondon-Ontario-wedding-photographers-79© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com The aforementioned photos of people I know looking goofy.
