Wedding at Maplehurst Manor & Carriage House, Maitland Ontario: as seen by Abelle Photography

These lovebirds exude youthfulness and vitality. They are creative and talented musicians. To photograph them was a treat. This wedding took place at the end of a glorious warm summer. The groom’s last name inspired the peacock theme and the navy and green colour scheme.

The venue is superb. Set on the side of the St-Lawrence Seaway, at the mouth of the Thousand Island in Maitland, Ontario, is Maplehurst Manor and Carriage House: “a magnificent Georgian Style Manor overlooking the beautiful St. Lawrence River.“ The historical manor has a Downton Abbey feel.

The bride revealed her gown to her father before the ceremony. This “Father Reveal“ was very touching.

The couple didn’t wish to see each other before the ceremony for a first look. However, they shared a prayer prior to the ceremony. This was another emotional moment.

Sophia is a brilliant musician and has a voice that is divine. She surprised and treated her family and friends by playing one of her own compositions.

A special thank you to the staff at Homewood Museum in Maitland, Ontario. They gladly let us photograph the couple on the museum’s grounds. It is one of Ontario’s oldest houses that is well worth a visit.

 

Montreal Urban Wedding as Seen by Abelle

This last wedding was an emotional one. It was an understated, authentic and warm event, much like the bride and groom’s personalities. Voici les grandes lignes de l’histoire de la journée de mariage de J et X.

The First-look took place at Parc Marguerite-Bourgeoys in Verdun, Montreal. Nous avons bien ri durant la session de photos; nous devions éviter le gazon coupé sortant des tracteurs à gazon des employés de la ville de Montréal. 🙂

After the couple photography session in a park in Verdun, the ceremony was held outside at Grumman 78 on De Courcelles, in Montreal. The tent was a last minute decision as the day called for rain, which didn’t come until late evening. C’est le père du marié qui a présidé la cérémonie du mariage. C’est lui qui a eu l’honneur et le plaisir d’être le célébrant du mariage de son fils. Ceci a ajouté beaucoup d’émotion à ce grand moment.

The day was all about close family and friends, awesome food and a great party. Mexican appetizers and finger food were served all evening. If you like Mexican food, you will LOVE the food at Grumman 78.

La soirée a été remplie de bonne bouffe, de musique, de conversations et de Téquila. Les invités ont eu la chance de ramener à la maison une petite douceur: des beignes faits avec amour par les mariés et leurs parents. I think this may have been the first wedding where I gained weight snacking on appetizers and desserts.

Tasty homemade doughnuts!hie.

This will not make me seem any younger but… I met Meagan when she was in grade 8. She was a student in the grade 8 math class I taught in another lifetime… when I was just 16. 🙂

Seriously, even back then Meagan was a talented, determined, authentic and elegant young girl. So look at her now. What do you see? I photographed her bridal portraits in Bondville, by Brome Lake.

Love the flowy skirt of this dress. In the back, Brome Lake.

She and Stefan came to me to document this blissful wedding. They wanted something simple and fun. They wanted a celebration of their love and a party for their loved ones. We scheduled a first look (Scroll way down for information on the what is “First Look”) in Bromont, at the Bromont olympic equestrian park. On that day, the 20th edition of the Quebec Equestrian Games were taking place for the weekend. So amidst a sea of horse trailers and horses and their riders, we set out to photograph that their first look. Look for the crisp September light in some of the mid afternoon shots. I love it.

The wedding ceremony and reception were held down the road at Le Refuge du Mont Gale. That is where I went on most of my end of year school trips when I was in elementary school. Did I mention my high school bus driver, David, was also the horse carriage driver?

I’m grateful to have had the privilege of being surrounded with this much fun, love and positive energy on that day. These two make me want to smile, a lot.
