Jackie and Matt were married at their beautiful farm in Woodstock in July 2010. They battled a hail storm but came out with some amazing pictures from HRM Photography in London.

Something a bride never wants to see on their wedding day: a hail storm. But Jackie and Matt rolled with the punches and ended up switching an outdoor ceremony with a beautiful celebration in their barn and it turned out better than they could have possible imagined.

Here’s what they had to say about their big day:

Describe the vision/theme you had for your wedding in 5 words or less: ‘Typical Jackie and Matt”

What are you favorite memories of your wedding day?
Bride: So many to choose, the dance
Groom: The hail storm

Best wedding related decision:
Not letting anything bother me, the hail/rain, anything that didn’t turn out perfect, letting it be.

Favourite detail:
my grandpa’s handerchief, which I actually used.

Advice for future brides & grooms:
Do want you want to make it your day, and remember at some point to stop and enjoy the process.

Would you change anything if you could do it all over again?
Besides the weather? Have the dogs there anyways, and find the time to eat my meal….

Best surprise of the day: The card Matt wrote me.

Anything else you’d like to add:
Thank you for taking such amazing pictures to allow our memories to last forever.
