Malaika + Kelvin : The Lake House Wedding

It was already about 2 years since they had gotten married. Malaika and Kelvin decided on a low-key wedding ceremony a couple of years ago and now, they were getting ready for a large celebration with all of their friends and family. Their marriage vows reaffirmed and a beautiful reception to close out their special day. Definitely special. How many couples do you know get to go through such a poignant moment twice in their lives in as many years?

I’m fortunate to have known Malaika for a significant portion of my life. In fact, she texted me the other day saying she’d come across one of her high school yearbooks that I had decided to get a little, umm… creative with in the signing process. Yes. I was that girl in high school. The I’m-going-to-see-how-many-pages-I-can-write-across-while-signing-your-yearbook-at-the-end-of-the-year kind of girl. I’m seeing her later this week so I’ll get evidence for y’all.

Malaika and Kelvin, thank you for allowing me to document such a special moment in your lives. Your families, your friends, they were all so welcoming and wonderful. You are both such amazing individuals continuing on a journey with the love and support of amazing people surrounding you.

Love + hugs, Jenne.

Love that the day started out with laughter!

Fascinators… j’adore.

There’s so much to love about Malaika’s Mori Lee wedding gown… and when you pair it with those shoes? Hawwt!

Goooooooorrrrrrr-geous.

The MPC500 cake was a surprise. Kelvin, the DJ/producer/artist that he is, loved it.

Oh, the sweet moments…

Catherine + Jeff : Serenity Cottage Wedding

No amount of darkening clouds and thunder could have put a damper on Catherine’s wedding day. This was the day she would marry her mate, the mate to her soul. The rain poured down over the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay but inside the gorgeous Serenity Cottage, Catherine and Jeff shared their momentous day with close family and friends, in tears, laughter and plenty of love.

In an area of Ontario with a beautiful landscapes and historical landmarks, Catherine and Jeff also wanted to incorporate some of their own family history as a part of their wedding day. From family orchards to vintage Studebakers, this was a day filled with history. The apple orchard we visited for their photo session used to belong to Jeff’s grandparents. Jeff, as a young boy, helped plant some of the apple trees along the seemingly never-ending rows of newly blooming blossoms. A truly wonderful way to celebrate the continuation of generations to come.

Catherine & Jeff, thank you to you and your families for being so open and welcoming… for allowing me to capture the poignant moments on your special day and sharing with me a small bit of the history in your lives.

Love & hugs, Jenne.

Becky + James : Grimsby Winter Wedding

Winter weddings are actually really, really pretty. The white snow on the ground in contrast with the dark branches of the surrounding trees make for some incredibly beautiful images. And, if you get lucky, the temperatures can be pretty tolerable for the portrait sessions.

For my first winter wedding ever, I was pretty excited to be documenting the wedding of my cousin James to his soul mate Becky. It was a pretty chilly day but no chill could ever dampen the warmth and cozy feeling you felt when you saw Becky and James together. Seeing the joy and tears on their faces the first time they saw each other on their wedding day left me breathless and teary-eyed. It was clear that their wedding day was only just the beginning to a great journey in their lives together.

Becky & James, thank you so much for allowing me to capture such a special moment in your lives. James, I’m so, so happy that you have found an incredible partner for life in Becky. Becky, you’re such a beautiful person and I’m excited to welcome you to the family.

Much love & hugs, Jenne.

It’s a tradition in Becky’s family to have a mouse present on the wedding day… such a cute little mousie!
