Estate Magic – Krista & Hasnain Jamal {Real Wedding Story}

WEDDING DATE: May 29th, 2021

LOCATION: Wheatfield Estate (www.wheatfieldestate.com), Sparta, ON

PHOTOGRAPHY: HRM Photography (♥) (www.hrmphotography.com) London, ON “We found HRM Photography online. We only met with one other photographer because we already knew who we were going to choose.
Heather was amazing to work with. Hasnain isn’t great at taking pictures, but she made him feel comfortable and relaxed. He still says choosing HRM Photography was the best decision we made. My favourite part of our photos was with just Hasnain and I, it was nice spending that time with him and goofing around. All of our photos exceeded our
expectations and we couldn’t be happier with them!” – K

TELL US YOUR STORY: “Hasnain and I first met in our place of work. When he came in on his second day questioning if his position was a good fit for him, but when he found out he was working with me he decided to give it another chance. The rest is history! Neither of us still works for that company, but we sure do owe a lot to our time spent there. We were dating for just over 5 years when he proposed. It was at the Eldon House in London, ON. It’s a historic house and museum. We went for a walk-through on December 29th, 2019, so it was all decorated for the holidays. He decided to do the proposal here because of my love for period dramas and Downton Abbey. He got down on one knee in front of the big Christmas tree in the living room. I was so shocked I couldn’t say yes right away. But when I did, I could hardly see the ring because my eyes were full of tears. It was a day I’ll never forget. Our wedding was a magical day. Although we struggled with a lot of aspects of our planning, everything still turned out wonderfully. At that time, we were only allowed 10 people, so all the people closest to us were there. We had a lot of fun and loved all the small details.” – K

BIGGEST CHALLENGE: “Our biggest challenge was working around government guidelines and regulations with the pandemic. We had to change our wedding venue last minute and our guest list a bunch of times. It was pretty chaotic, but we decided from the beginning that we didn’t want to postpone our wedding. We just wanted to be married.” – K

ADVICE: “Take your wedding planning one step at a time and have fun with it! Enjoy the little moments you and your partner share because things can get stressful very easily. Remember the most important thing is that you’re getting married. The rest is just detail.” – K&H
