Intimate Chalet Wedding at Domaine William Wentworth
Who would have thought that a handful of years after selling Vitor (V) a camera bag online, that we’d become industry colleagues, and he would invite me to document his intimate chalet wedding to Yaëlle (Y) at Domaine William Wentworth in Drummondville, Quebec. Little did we know upon signing the contract at the start of 2020 that Y&V would have to postpone their wedding date for 2 years while the world shut down, but finally the date had arrived, when their intimate circle of close friends and family could safely arrive from Brazil, England, and the west coast of Canada to celebrate this beautiful love story over the course of a wedding weekend reunion for the books.
Montreal Wedding at Pavillon de la Jamaïque in Early October.
To say it was an honour to document Steph and Alex’s wedding is an understatement, as these two truly epitomize the palpable joy of marrying your best friend. From the moment I met them for their fun engagement session at Parc Nature de l’Ile de la Visitation, where they swing danced and laughed and loved without a care in front of the camera, to planning final wedding day details together online, to witnessing and documenting their big day at the ever picturesque Pavillon de la Jamaïque, it was so easy to capture their deep connection.
Chateau Ramezay Intimate Wedding
There’s something so special about the personal vibe of an intimate wedding, reserved just for your close family and your dearest friends, which is exactly how Steph and Tom decided to celebrate their special wedding day! They chose a September wedding, which in Old Montreal can be the most agreeable weather, allowing for a comfortable outdoor ceremony in Old Montreal’s historical The Château Ramezay - Historic Site and Museum of Montréal’s charming Governor’s Garden, that accommodated for a cozy seating arrangement.
I arrived early to meet Steph & Tom for portraits at the front of the venue, only to be greeted by the bride and her closest college friends, most of who’d flown into Montreal from other parts of Canada, and from abroad. This sweet occasion would serve as an overdue reunion for the girls, adding a whole other layer to how valuable this day would be remembered for all in attendance.
