A New Year’s Eve Wedding at Alton Mill // Lakna & Regis

I haven’t photographed a New Years Eve wedding until this past year, and I have to say, what a great idea! You are getting married at the same time as ringing in a new year, with your nearest and dearest.

Lakna and Regis met practicing Brazilian jiujutsu – actually Regis was Lakna’s teacher! From the first time I met them, I can tell they share an amazing connection. We chatted over tea about their wedding day and Lakna expressed to me how much they like candid images that tell a story and when they saw the wedding I photographed at Alton Mill a few years ago, they instantly connected to my work.

They wanted to share a day of fun, laughter and love with their favourite people, and the wedding was just that. My favourite moments were during the speeches. Regis’ dad had just recovered from a stroke last year, and he played a song on guitar that he used to play for Regis and his brother when they were young. The atmosphere in the room was electric. There was not a dry eye in the room. You can really feel the love and support from their friends and family.

Here’s the story of Lakna & Regis’ wedding day! To love, and to friends & family. xoxo

Rustic Elegant Alton Mill wedding | Featured on The Wedding Co.

Sarah & Sean had a beautiful Alton Mill wedding in Caledon early last month (you can also check out their Woodbine beach engagement session). After a week of rainy and humid weather, the Saturday came and it was just right for an outdoor wedding: a little bit of sun, and a little bit of breeze.

Sarah was beautiful in a lace gown and Sean was dashing in a three-piece suit and bow tie. The lovely Laura and her team from Marvelle Events styled the wedding with rustic yet elegant touches.

Christiane from Ceremonies to Remember crafted a personalized ceremony with Sarah and Sean with tidbits about what it was that originally attracted them to each other, the obstacles that they have since overcome in their relationship, and the future that is to come. They exchanged vows as they exchanged rings. It was also here that I heard one of the most beautiful and moving readings of Pablo Neruda’s Sonnet XVII by a dear friend of theirs. For the icing on the cake, their adorable pooch Duke made a guest appearance during the ceremony.

And that was just the ceremony.

Here is the story of Sarah & Sean’s wedding day.

Congratulations you two! Wishing you a life time of happiness together.
