As a Kitchener wedding photographer, I had the absolute joy of capturing K + J’s beautiful backyard wedding in New Hamburg — a day filled with natural light, heartfelt moments, and the kind of relaxed celebration that makes summer weddings unforgettable.

As a Kitchener wedding photographer, I’m lucky to capture celebrations all across the Waterloo Region, but there’s something extra special about days like this — where the couple transforms a family property into the most meaningful venue they could imagine.

 A Ceremony Filled With Heart

K + J shared their vows surrounded by trees, soft summer light, and their closest people. The whole ceremony felt peaceful and intimate — the kind of moment where time slows and you can actually feel the emotions in the air.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen brought the energy all day (the cheering photo under the trees is one of my favourites!). Nothing staged, nothing forced — just a genuinely fun wedding party hyping up two people they adore.

Portraits at Black Barn

Before heading back for the reception, we stopped at Black Barn for portraits. This spot is iconic in the New Hamburg / Kitchener area and the perfect backdrop for modern, editorial-style wedding photos.

K + J absolutely crushed their portrait session — relaxed, connected, and so easy to photograph. Their chemistry made my job a dream.

Why This New Hamburg Backyard Wedding Was a Dream to Photograph as a Kitchener Wedding Photographer

Backyard receptions have their own rhythm — string lights, home-cooked details, kids running around, music floating in from the deck. This one was full of laughter, incredible food, and the type of warmth that only comes from celebrating at home.

It’s everything I love documenting as a Kitchener wedding photographer: real moments, real joy, and a setting that already means something to the couple.
