When my awesome bride Sophie contacted me as a referral from a previous wedding I shot with a friend of hers, I was beyond ecstatic to capture her and Ben's special day. Their energy is enriched with contagious joy and love that can make your jaw hurt from smiling. But being welcomed to their big event wasn't all that I was excited about. In fact, Sophie and Ben had a special connection with the venue they selected beyond anything I could ever expect.

 

Tapestry Hall, located in the scenic city of Cambridge Ontario, was the desired location of Sophie and Ben's wedding day. The hall is well known for their magical artistic display stretched along the ceiling called "Meander" - and it is said to be the largest living architectural sculpture in the world. But who would've known that one of the leading engineers to help bring renowned artist Philip Beesely's art to life then Sophie! My amazing bride was a part of the team who enabled such a masterpiece for visitors to pass under a sculpture that moves, lights up and makes sounds as it reacts to people passing below. It also reacts to temperature changes and casts an array of sparkling lights with those changes. The glee in all of our faces during this revelation was enough to make the day even more exciting!

 

The day consisted of a heartwarming bridal dress reveal with friends, laughing in the rain with the groom's party, a peaceful Lutheran church ceremony, family portraits with bubbles, a wild and whacky wedding party photoshoot, sandwiches and waffles for dinner, and a boisterous Irish folk dance featuring most of the guests. It was a night to remember for a couple who left their footprint forever on Tapestry Hall's beautiful architecture forever.

 

A Photographer's Review of Tapestry Hall:

Stepping into the Tapestry Hall, the sheer grandeur of the place strikes you immediately. The space is big and beautiful, an expansive canvas for me as a photographer to paint my clients' love stories on. The way the sprawling area can comfortably accommodate over 400 guests without feeling overwhelming is nothing short of architectural brilliance.

 

One feature that particularly catches my eye is the striking contrast between the dark walls and the golden lighting. This combination creates an atmosphere that's both warm and intimate, the perfect backdrop for timeless wedding photos.

 

As a visual storyteller, I've always found architecture to be a thrilling element in my photos. The Tapestry Hall doesn't disappoint in this regard either. The beautiful architecture setup on the ceiling is a feast for the eyes. Shooting under this magnificent ceiling, I am able to create pictures that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also full of character and depth.

 

The venue's design is where timeless elegance meets contemporary. It's a harmonious blend of the old and the new, making it the perfect setting for couples who wish to celebrate their love in a unique style.

 

Another distinct advantage of the Tapestry Hall is its accessible parking. This might seem like a minor detail, but let me tell you, on a day as hectic as your wedding, easy parking can be a godsend for your guests.

 

In conclusion, the Tapestry Hall, Cambridge Ontario is a remarkable wedding venue. It's not just about the aesthetics; it's about the feeling you get when you're there. It's about the way the light falls, the way the space feels, and the way the architecture lends itself to your story. From a photographer's perspective, it's a dream come true, offering endless opportunities to capture unforgettable moments. And as someone who loves to celebrate weird, wild, and wonderful love, I can't think of a better place to do so.
