“It was always you.” — Sense and Sensibility (1995)
Shan and Meli’s winter wedding was a beautiful reminder that love shines brightest even on the coldest days. Their day began with an emotional first look in a quiet snow-covered forest in Sudbury, Ontario, a place that holds special meaning for them. Surrounded by fresh snow and peaceful winter light, they shared one of the most intimate moments of their wedding day before celebrating with their families.
Despite the cold January weather, Shan and Meli embraced the winter season completely. We photographed their portraits and family photos in the forest, creating images that feel calm, timeless, and deeply personal. The snow-covered landscape made the perfect setting for their story and reflected the quiet connection they share.
Their ceremony followed shortly after, where they exchanged vows surrounded by the people closest to them. From the emotional first look to the warm atmosphere of the ceremony, every part of the day came together to tell a genuine and meaningful story.
