Sunny rooftop vows, a gallery full of flowers, and one hell of a bachata party. Hannah and Elias’s Winnipeg Art Gallery wedding wasn’t just elegant—it was alive. Their day fused cultures, color, and creativity into a celebration that felt straight out of an editorial spread.
Not Just Clients—Friends With Wild Chemistry
Fun fact: I (Jensen) met Elias back when he was slinging film rolls as a photographer. We bonded over nerding out about analog magic, and soon after I got to meet Hannah. Together, these two are pure fire—loving, upbeat, and camera-ready without even trying. Elias already knew his angles (occupational hazard of being behind the camera), and Hannah’s natural glow made the whole shoot feel like a Vogue rooftop feature.
Rooftop Ceremony at The WAG
The WAG rooftop wedding setup was jaw-dropping: lush florals spilling over every corner, the Winnipeg skyline as their altar, and sunlight casting sharp, dramatic shadows that begged to be played with. Hannah walked down an aisle exploding with colorful floral decor, and the whole space felt like an art installation.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery isn’t just a venue—it’s a canvas. Their rooftop space gave us endless opportunities to lean into an editorial wedding portraits vibe, letting light and architecture shape the shots.
From Rooftop Romance to Bachata Beats
When the sun dipped, the energy flipped. Elias and his mom kicked off the reception with a bachata that set the tone for the wildest dance floor of the year. From there? Absolute chaos—in the best way. Hannah and Elias’s families brought the kind of joyful, rowdy energy that makes a downtown Winnipeg wedding unforgettable.
The tablescapes carried the floral story indoors—bursts of color against elegant settings—and the gallery backdrop added a moody, modern edge once the lights went low.
Editorial Wedding Portraits in the Gallery
Here’s where my inner artist fully thrived: taking the couple into the gallery itself for editorial wedding portraits. Think: bold shadows, clean architectural lines, and that magazine-spread feel. Hannah and Elias trusted me to go full creative mode, and the result? Portraits that feel cinematic, timeless, and wildly them.
If you’ve ever dreamed of wedding photos that don’t just document but dramatize your love story—The WAG’s rooftop and gallery combo delivers big time.
