Elizabeth and Victor celebrated their wedding at the stunning venue Elora Mill, in Elora in September, 2021. It was such a beautiful day, the sky was blue, the water was so calm and the wind was blowing very gently. When I look back and try to describe how the day was like the first word that comes to mind is serenity. Everything was so peaceful and flowed so smoothly, they couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

While Elizabeth was home getting ready with her bridesmaids, Victor was at Elora Mill Hotel with the groomsmen! That’s one advantage of having two videographers, one can cover the bride and the other can be with the groom.

One thing we love about the getting ready part is capturing the candid moments between the bride, groom and their wedding party! As you can see Elizabeth and her bridesmaids were having the time of their lives dancing and singing as they were getting ready to walk down the aisle! It’s so good to see how excited everyone is for this wedding.

After all the hair and makeup is done and all the cufflinks and ties are in their place, it’s time to do a final toast before the bride and groom become Mr. and Mrs. Elizabeth and her girls popped champagne as Victor did shots with his buddies. Is there a better way to say farewell to your single life than that?

The bride and groom have said goodbye to their lives as two, so now it’s time to finish getting ready so they can say hello to their lives as one! Victor puts on his beautiful suit as Elizabeth gets help from her sister to put on her gorgeous wedding dress. How stunning does Elizabeth look? But she’s not done yet, there are still some final touches that need to be made and that’s when her mom comes to the rescue, she helps her put on her wedding shoes and she places the veil in her hair. Now Elizabeth officially looks like a bride!

Now that the bride is finally ready it is time to reveal her wedding gown to her bridesmaids! All the girls were so excited to see Elizabeth that when they opened their eyes you could see their faces lighting up as they looked at the beautiful bride, especially the little flower girl, she was so thrilled to see Elizabeth that she couldn’t stop jumping! How cute is that?

There’s still one very important person waiting to see Elizabeth in her wedding dress for the first time - her dad. I can’t imagine what a father feels and thinks when he sees his little girl in her wedding dress, it must be such a mix of emotions, but the one thing I am sure of is that Elizabeth’s dad looked so happy and proud. It was a super emotional first look and shedding some tears was inevitable!

Bride having a blast with her girlfriends, check! Bridal party toasting the couple, check! Bride so beautiful in her wedding dress that made her flower girl so excited she couldn’t stop jumping, check! It looks like the morning was a complete success, so now it’s the time that we have all been waiting for, let’s get these two hitched! Elizabeth walks down the aisle and Victor can’t take his eyes off of her, he still can’t believe he is marrying the girl of his dreams!

Victor and Elizabeth had a beautiful ceremony at Elora Mill Foundry, surrounded by family and friends! Elizabeth couldn’t believe that the day she so long waited for was finally here, she could hardly hold in the tears as she shared her vows with her loved one! Victor, on the other hand, made everybody “awe” as he told us that the girl that caught his attention in Geography class, back in grade 9, was now standing right in front of him soon to become his wife. How amazing is it to see that those high school sweethearts would be now sharing their vows to one another in front of their loved ones?

What a heartwarming ceremony Victor and Elizabeth had! This is what happens when you watch two best friends get married, they have been choosing each other for over 10 years and they still look like two kids madly in love. My heart melted a little when I heard Elizabeth thanking Victor for giving her that fairy tale kind of love, isn’t it so amazing to see that real love exists?

The officiant smiles as they share their first kiss as a married couple. Elizabeth and Victor are finally husband and wife, this calls for a celebration! You know what that means, right? Party time!!! Elizabeth and Victor had a very beautiful reception at the Granary. The bridal party was so excited to walk in the venue, they were truly happy for the bride and groom. As the hours passed by the love birds had their first dance, ate some good food, shed a few tears and laughed their hearts out, what a magical day!

After all was said and done, the Dj, who is actually the bride’s brother, welcomes everybody to the dance floor with such energy that it is impossible to spot a single soul not moving their bodies! The guests are dancing, drinking, laughing and making memories, what a true celebration. As they continued dancing, Elizabeth and Victor went outside to enjoy each other’s company, they danced, shared some stories of the past and ended the day looking at each other and contemplating their happily ever after!
