So you want to tie-the-knot in the snow, but all that glittering white seems a little too much. Here is how to give your winter wonderland wedding a little more of a moody edge. This beautiful wedding shoot was dreamed up by the talented Shannon Bellisle and expertly captured by Snowy River Images.

This enchanted forest shoot was set in the woods near a horse farm in Oro Medonte and was inspired by a love for vintage thrifting. With an intimate ceremony in the woods featuring a stunning organic floral piece in the middle of the trail, followed by a romantic trail ride on a white horse, this wedding is giving us tons of medieval vibes.

For the design, we really wanted to create these two opposite visuals. First, the extremely intimate and earthy ceremony surrounded by tall trees really set the tone for the day and allowed our couple to get cozy and heat things up a bit in the colder temperatures. Our table set up was in the middle of an open field with a stunning scenic view behind it, with the darker colours really making it pop against the snow.
