Sherwood Inn on Lake Joseph

A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I were talking about going away for a weekend this summer. I came across an ad for Sherwood Inn on Lake Joseph in Muskoka and thought it looked amazing. They have a beach, hiking trails, canoes, kayaks, paddle boats and fishing...so it was a no brainier for us to book our weekend there.

While on the website for Sherwood Inn I noticed that they host weddings. You can book the entire Inn for you and your guests and have an intimate wedding on site. The thought of that kicked my wedding mind into high gear as I starting envisioning all of the small details, DIY decor and personalized touches you could have at a venue like that.

Then, just a few days later while scrolling through instagram I saw some photos of a beautiful wedding by Green Autumn Photography. I wasn't sure where it was, but I knew I loved it. I even showed the BF the photos and told him that that would be the kind of wedding I would want one day. And, he didn't even roll his eyes ladies, he's that good of a boyfriend.

Anyhoo, while chatting with Jimmy of Green Autumn at my re-branding photo shoot I asked him where the wedding took place and he said Sherwood Inn! How awesome is that?!?

Check out all the natural light! Love it!

Needless to say, I can't wait to go there! Be sure to check Bride's Butler out on Instagram for photos of  our mini vacay at the beautiful resort on Lake Joseph.

Re-branding photos with Green Autumn Photography

Firstly, let me start off by saying; I love Twitter. I have made a lot of connections through the social media site. From drinks and laughs with @JohnLepp, to talking gluten free recipes and weddings with @Sarahdanielleph, to staying informed about Hamilton (#HamOnt) from the likes of @JoeyColeman, @Kitestring and @TourismHamilton...I have fallen in love with Twitter.

This is now my Twitter avatar. :)

It was because of Twitter that I was introduced to Jimmy and Sonya Bender of Green Autumn Photography.We connected because of his beautiful photos, but also because his colleague Tim was the videographer for this awesome wedding. We started chatting on Twitter, then became friends on Facebook, and then starting following one another on Instagram. We made plans to meet over coffee, and became instant friends in real life.

When I started telling Jimmy and Sonya about my plans for Bride's Butler, and they shared in my excitement, I knew that I wanted to bring them on board for my journey. Not only did they spend two hours of their time the other week taking photos for the new website, blog and printed material, but they also agreed to offer an exclusive discount to future clients of mine. They have joined me along with a selected group of other wedding professionals to provide a package that will meet the needs of so many Brides in the Hamilton and surrounding areas. I can't wait to unveil everything in July!

There are no words or gifts to show my gratitude to Jimmy and Sonya for their time, support and friendship. I just can't wait until the bookings start coming in for the package we will be offering that includes Green Autumn so that we can join forces and create magic doing what we love to do!

Thank you Jimmy and Sonya for a fun morning of photos, and for making me feel comfortable and laugh at myself in your presence. And thank you to Twitter for introducing me to friends that have become more than words on a screen, but friends I can hug.

Goofing around with Jimmy & Sonya.

Smiling for the rapid clicking of the lens.
