Wow, what a wedding day at Pillar & Post in Niagara-on-the-Lake! Darby & Malcolm’s celebration was absolutely packed with love, laughter, and incredible photo ops. I delivered more images from this day than I ever have before—it was *that* good!
We kicked things off at Pillar & Post with getting-ready photos. This venue makes every detail shine, from the cozy, elegant rooms to the picturesque backdrops just outside. Darby was glowing, and Malcolm’s excitement was palpable as they prepared to see each other for the first time.
The first look took place in the back garden of Pillar & Post, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. There’s something so magical about that moment when a couple locks eyes for the first time on their wedding day! And let’s not forget their adorable dog, Finn, who stole the show for a few photos. The red brick of the building paired with the lush greenery made for timeless, romantic shots.
We ventured to the rose garden near the front of the venue for a few portraits, but the wind had other plans! No worries, though—Pillar & Post has so many beautiful spots, and we made the most of every one.
The ceremony in the rose garden was both stunning and memorable. Yes, the wind made its presence known (Darby had to ditch her veil halfway through!), but it didn’t take away from the heartfelt vows and the beauty of the setting. The rose garden at Pillar & Post Niagara-on-the-Lake offers such an intimate and romantic vibe—perfect for couples who want a picturesque outdoor ceremony.
After the ceremony, we moved the family formals indoors to escape the gusty winds. The cozy indoor spaces at Pillar & Post provided the perfect shelter while keeping things elegant. Then just as the day seemed to be winding down, the skies cleared, and golden hour arrived in full force. Cue my favorite part of any wedding day! We headed back to the rose garden for couple portraits, and the light was absolute perfection. The soft glow highlighted the bridge, barn, trees, and even the pond—Pillar & Post truly has endless options for breathtaking backdrops.
The reception took place in the barn, my favorite space at Pillar & Post. It’s cozy yet grand, and the ambiance is unmatched. From heartfelt speeches to a lively dinner and an even livelier dance floor, the evening was a total hit. Darby & Malcolm’s energy was contagious, and their friends and family brought their A-game to celebrate this amazing couple.
Darby and Malcolm, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your wedding day at Pillar & Post. Your love for each other—and for Finn!—made this day unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting or a more wonderful couple to photograph. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and more perfect golden hour moments to come!
