We didn&#8217;t want a hotel wedding and there weren\u2019t many venues that could fit our group size to cater for a outdoor ROM and Indoor dining experience. We visited more than eight venues before deciding on Au Petit Salut.  <\/p><p> For our photographer, we wanted someone who was easy to work and communicate with, skilled at capturing raw candid moments and Fiona from Smittenpixels Photography embodied everything we wanted in a wedding photographer.
