Brittany and Ryan’s wedding day was the perfect blend of heartfelt emotion, laid-back lakefront charm, and stunning details—all set at their family cottage on beautiful Gilmour Lake. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they tied the knot in a space that already held so many memories, now made even more meaningful.

From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was full of love and quiet excitement. Brittany got ready in the cozy lakeside cottage, with the sunlight pouring in surounded .by her loved ones. Her dress was timeless, elegant, and flowed beautifully with the natural backdrop. Ryan waited lakeside, full of nerves and emotion, and their first look was nothing short of moving—one of those moments you know will stay with them forever.

The ceremony took place under the trees with the lake shimmering behind them. Guests sat on simple but beautiful white chairs, and the couple exchanged vows filled with laughter and happy tears. Every detail—from the florals to the handmade touches—felt intentional and deeply personal.

Dinner was held under string lights, filled with heartfelt speeches, and dancing barefoot in the grass. It was one of those weddings where you leave feeling like you’ve witnessed something truly special.

As the sun dipped lower in the sky, we snuck away for golden hour portraits on a remote island. The way Brittany and Ryan looked at each other, laughed together, and soaked in the moment made my job as a photographer feel effortless.

Brittany and Ryan, thank you for letting me be part of such a beautiful chapter in your story. Your love, your people, and your day were absolutely unforgettable.
