Winter wedding at Strathmere. Couple dancing outside.

Winter Wedding at Strathmere

For M & S, this union was significant on so many levels. This wasn’t your typical ceremony but a celebration of love, family, and rich heritage.

For them, the wedding was a way to thank their friends and family for being a part of their lives. They wanted to treat their guests to a fun day, filled with good food, drinks and laughter.

Laughter filled the air as the couple exchanged vows, their Scottish accents weaving a thread of tradition throughout the ceremony.

February days are short, so I had to take the Godox flash kit out for a spin.

As a portrait and wedding photographer with a career spanning over 25 years, I am selective with the weddings I take on. Each love story deserves to be documented carefully, and this winter wedding resonated deeply with me. Capturing the joy on the faces of the newlyweds, their children, extended family and close friends filled me with immense gratitude. Witnessing these intimate moments and translating them into lasting memories is a privilege. As long as my stamina, my creativity, and my cameras will allow me to do so and as long as engaged couples will invite me to join them for their big day, I will gladly oblige!

Love winter weddings. Here’s another one held at the Chanteclerc in the Laurentians years ago.

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.
