I hope you’ve been enjoying these little love stories, the behind-the-scenes glimpses into the moments that remind me just how beautiful this work really is. Because this one? This one’s something special.

Morgan and Paul’s wedding weekend was the kind of love story that makes you slow down and appreciate what really matters: connection, family, and the people who make life so complete. Set on the serene shores of Lake Muskoka, their day felt like a scene straight out of a romantic film, complete with golden sunlight, laughter echoing through the trees, and the calm of the water lapping against the dock.

This summer and early fall, I’ve been capturing so many intimate and micro weddings, and I have to say, I’ve fallen completely in love with them. There’s something about smaller gatherings that feels personal, intentional, and unfiltered. You’re not just a vendor at these weddings; you become part of the celebration, part of the story.

That’s exactly what Morgan and Paul’s day was like. They had rented the most breathtaking cottage from Jayne’s Cottages, and let me tell you, I am absolutely manifesting one just like it for my future family one day. The property itself was pure magic: a blend of cozy cottage charm and woodland fairytale. It offered the perfect backdrop for a weekend filled with love, laughter, and endless little moments that meant so much.

The weekend began with a welcome party on the dock of the boathouse, cocktails, good music, and the kind of joy that sets the tone for a perfect weekend. By Saturday morning, the cottage was buzzing with excitement as everyone got ready together. There was no rush, no chaos, just an easy, happy calm as family and friends helped each other prepare for the day ahead. Morgan’s sweet pup trotted around the house like she knew she was part of something important, stealing hearts (and more than a few camera moments).

When it came time for the ceremony, guests made their way through a little forested pathway that opened up to the most peaceful spot overlooking the water. The ceremony itself was emotional and heartfelt, the kind that makes you feel every ounce of love in the air. As Morgan and Paul exchanged vows, you could see just how much they adored one another. Every glance, every smile, every tear told a story.

Afterward, we wandered through the property for a couple of portraits, and I don’t think I’ll ever get over how dreamy that cottage light was. Then came cocktail hour, complete with a violinist serenading guests as they laughed, hugged, and celebrated. When the sun began to dip, the couple slipped away for sunset portraits by the dock — and those moments might be my favourite of all. The water glistened, the sky turned to gold and pink, and it felt like time stood still.

The evening ended with an intimate candlelit dinner, a cozy reception surrounded by their closest family and friends. Every detail felt so intentional, from the locally sourced food to the laughter that filled the room. It was warm, intimate, and everything a wedding should be.

When I look back on this day, it reminds me why I love what I do. It wasn’t about grand gestures or extravagant moments; it was about love, connection, and presence.

Because at the end of the day, that’s what weddings are truly about, celebrating love in whatever way feels most you.

If this sounds like the kind of story you want told, I’d be honoured to capture it.
