Ellen & Ryan: From Rustic Romance to Retro Glam at the Retro Suites

Steven Taylor • Feb 13, 2024

Get ready, Chatham Kent couples, because Ellen and Ryan's wedding proves you can have it ALL:  rustic romance, a touch of modern elegance, and some seriously fun Retro Suites moments.  Think cozy barn portraits (chandelier included!), stunning outdoor shots beneath the trees, and the coolest hotel celebration!

I always tell couples variety is the spice of life...and  photos! Let's break down Ellen & Ryan's location journey to see why having options truly enhances their album.

  • The Barn: Romance with an Edge The rustic wood and soft light in my barn set the scene for stunningly intimate couple portraits. That incredible chandelier? A showstopper backdrop for a few dramatic shots Ellen and Ryan will treasure.
  • Tree-lined Laneway: Love in Nature Just steps away, we transitioned to the tree-lined laneway for that magical golden hour glow. Their stroll between those majestic trees? Timeless romance captured against a stunning Chatham Kent landscape...even capturing the sun peeking through makes photos feel extra special.
  • Studio Shots: Not Your Average Backdrop Think studio photos are boring? Think again! For Ellen & Ryan, it was a mix of timeless elegance using simple backdrops, then we switched it up with pops of color, funky textures...proving there's endless room for creativity!
