Michelle and Jack's Niagara Falls Elopement on the Hornblower

Elopements are my favourite event to photograph, and there's something extra special about tying the knot at Niagara Falls. Getting to photograph an elopement at the base of Niagara Falls with the rushing water so close is an unforgettable experience. Recently, I had the privilege of photographing Michelle and Jack's elopement on the Hornblower Cruise.

Planning a Picture-Perfect Elopement

Michelle and Jack reached out to me early in the summer, excited to share their plans for an October wedding while visiting from the UK. From the moment we connected, I knew their elopement would be fun. Together, we decided on a few photos at the Oakes Garden Theatre before heading to the Hornblower for their ceremony.

A Dreamlike Start at Oakes Garden Theatre

When we met at Oakes Garden Theatre, the fall foliage was in full display with the colours peaking. Dressed in their wedding attire, Michelle and Jack turned heads and drew congratulations from tourists and people driving by. The atmosphere was amazing, with honking cars and cheering onlookers adding to the festive energy.

Their chemistry was undeniable. They radiated joy and warmth, and their British charm made things even better. The combination of their laughter and love made photographing them effortless.

Saying "I Do" Beneath Niagara Falls

The highlight of the day was, of course, their elopement ceremony aboard the Hornblower Cruise. Standing at the base of Niagara Falls, surrounded by the thunderous roar of the water and its swirling mist, created an atmosphere like no other.

As Michelle and Jack exchanged vows, the love between them was obvious. Despite the falling water making it difficult to hear every word, their smiles and laughter told the entire story. The best moment was when they shared their first kiss with the mist and wind swirling around us all.

Once they were officially pronounced husband and wife, Michelle and Jack put on their ponchos and experienced the full force of Niagara Falls with everyone else.
