JW Marriot The Rosseau Muskoka Wedding

Bryan + Adam

May they live long and prosper!

Bryan and Adam, two of the most die hard Trekies I’ve ever met, had a beautiful wedding in the Muskoka’s north of Toronto at the JW Marriot The Rosseau.

The resort is just a stunning place to be, perched up on a hill overlooking Lake Rosseau which is one of the most exclusive and historic lakes in the Muskokas. I kept look around for Dan Akroyd or Kurt Russell!

We all spent the morning getting ready in some beautiful suites on the resort. A really nice touch was that Bryan and Adam made custom Star Trek communicators and rank pips for everyone in their wedding party (I did say they were die hards!). Easily one of the coolest wedding DIY’s I’ve seen over the years.

We took advantage of the grounds on the resort for some pictures of Bryan and Adam and their wedding party before the ceremony including out on the docks with the lake in the background… it helps when the weather cooperates and you get a beautiful day!

The ceremony location was pretty epic, on a hilltop overlooking the lake and surrounded by outcroppings of the Canadian Shield. The ceremony itself was relaxed and near effortless as Bryan and Adam had already been married during Covid and this ceremony was for their friends and family to enjoy. I love when a true friend of the couple is able to officiate the ceremony, it always makes it so much more personal.

After the ceremony there were some family pictures and then cocktail hour on the patio.

Dinner was intermixed with speeches that were filled with Star Trek quotes, trivia and even impressions… of course if you wanted to see Bryan + Adam kiss you had to get up to the mic and give your best Star Trek line. I even managed to sneak them back down to the water at dusk for some of my favourite portraits we did that day.

The rest of the night was filled with dancing; from their first dance, to dancing with their mother to some truly epic moves on the dance floor late in the night.

In a small world, Adam works with one of my previous brides at Sick Kids! Check out Emily + Aaron’s Archeo Wedding!

Langdon Hall Spring Wedding

Damon + Greg

Damon & Greg had a beautiful wedding at Langdon Hall this spring… the day was filled with many touching moments.

We started with Damon and Greg getting ready in one of the Stable Suites at Langdon Hall, these rooms are some of my favourites on the property.

We headed out for some pictures on the grounds of Langdon Hall, taking advantage of quite a few quiet and intimate spots apart from the main part of the hotel grounds.

The ceremony was held in the old orchard and started with two of the cutest flower girls ever who did their job perfectly! The floral displays from Urban Jungle were really stunning.

A real highlight of the day was when everyone was serenaded during cocktail hour by a couple all the way from France… nothing like some love songs in French to set the mood!

The reception was held in Langdon Hall’s Firshade Room and Summer House.

I say this every time I photograph a wedding at Langdon Hall that the food and service were exceptional and this time was no different! Damon and Greg have a real passion for food and wine so obviously Langdon Hall was the perfect choice for their wedding.

Damon’s family has a Pension background so there a few traditions incorporated into the night including a sugar rubbing ceremony and a knife dance. There were so many great speeches that night from their friends and family including all the doctors in attendance (Damon and Greg are both doctors!)…. I joked if there was one time in my life to have a heart attack this was the night!

After dinner in the Summer house the night moved into the Firshade room for an amazing party led by Chris from CM Entertainment!

Love is love.
