Katie and Mark’s wedding day was the perfect blend of classic elegance and relaxed joy, a day full of beautiful moments, heartfelt connections, and unforgettable settings. From their stunning ceremony at the Church of Our Lady Immaculate in Guelph to their chic reception at the Cambridge Mill, every part of their celebration was infused with love and personality.

The day began with the couple getting ready in their family homes, surrounded by their closest loved ones. Katie’s bridal prep was filled with laughter, happy tears, and those timeless moments of anticipation as her mom and bridesmaids helped her into her gown. Meanwhile, Mark and his groomsmen shared some great pre-ceremony moments, the perfect mix of excitement and nerves.

The ceremony took place at one of Guelph’s most iconic landmarks, the Church of Our Lady Immaculate. The grandeur of the church, with its stunning architecture and warm golden tones, provided a breathtaking setting for Katie and Mark to exchange their vows. Seeing them walk out of the church as husband and wife, beaming with joy, was truly special.

After the ceremony, we headed to some of Guelph’s charming outdoor locations and the ruins at Mill Race Park in Cambridge for wedding party and couple portraits. The weather was perfect, and the light was absolutely dreamy, allowing us to capture both timeless portraits and fun, candid moments with the bridal party (their sweet pup even made an adorable appearance!).

The reception at Cambridge Mill was nothing short of magical. The Mill’s blend of historic stone walls and elegant modern spaces created the perfect backdrop for the evening’s festivities. Beautiful floral arrangements and thoughtful details decorated the space, reflecting Katie and Mark’s style. After a delicious dinner and heartfelt speeches, the couple shared their first dance as the sun set over the river, a truly romantic moment.

As the night continued, guests hit the dance floor, and the evening wrapped up with a fun sparkler exit under the stars — a perfect ending to a perfect day.

Katie and Mark’s wedding was a beautiful reminder that love and joy are found in both the big, grand moments and the small, in-between ones. It was such an honour to document this day and all the memories they created with their friends and family.
