Amy and Donnell’s late-May wedding at Whispering Springs Wilderness Retreat was the perfect mix of heartfelt emotion, natural beauty, and laid-back boho elegance. Tucked into the forest near Grafton, Ontario, this outdoor glamping venue provided the most magical backdrop for their celebration.

As a preferred wedding photographer at Whispering Springs, I’ve had the chance to capture many weddings here—but Amy and Donnell’s was something truly special.

A Whispering Springs Wedding in the Heart of Nature

Whispering Springs Wilderness Retreat is a one-of-a-kind wedding venue designed for couples who want to escape the city and be surrounded by nature. Just 90 minutes east of Toronto, it offers forest ceremonies, luxury glamping tents, and a beautifully styled reception space. It’s a dream location for anyone planning a glamping wedding or outdoor wedding in Ontario.

The forest ceremony space feels completely secluded, with towering pine trees, handcrafted wooden archways, and curated vintage decor throughout. It’s easy to see why this venue is a favourite among couples looking for a unique, nature-filled wedding day.

Emotional Vows and a Boho Ceremony in the Forest

Amy and Donnell’s ceremony was full of authentic, emotional moments—one of the most touching being when Donnell gently wiped away Amy’s tears as they exchanged vows under the trees. The ceremony was styled with vibrant florals in shades of orange, peach, and magenta, giving it a playful, bohemian feel that perfectly suited the forest setting.

Later in the day, the couple took a quiet canoe ride across the pond—a Whispering Springs signature moment that gave them time to connect and soak in the joy of their day.

This venue offers everything needed for a relaxed, full-weekend wedding experience. Guests can stay on-site in luxury glamping tents, enjoy forest walks, and unwind around the campfire. For couples who want a wedding that’s both elevated and outdoorsy, it truly offers the best of both worlds.

Because I’m a preferred photographer at Whispering Springs, I know all the hidden photo locations and how the light moves across the property throughout the day. I work closely with the venue team to make sure your photography experience is seamless and stress-free.
