Britney + Lucas / Fairytale Arlington Estate Wedding

weddings

Apr 25

Britney + Lucas - where do I even begin! You can probably tell from the length of this post that this wedding was AMAZING. I simply couldn’t narrow things down any further. I think the full wedding gallery I delivered was somewhere around 1500 images. If that sounds like a lot, it is LOL. But every little detail of this wedding was just too precious to let any images go.

The bride and groom (photographed by Hannah) got ready at their respective parents homes in the GTA, surrounded by their wedding parties and followed shortly after by pretty much their entire extended families. We Italians love family!! There so much emotion during their getting ready stages with so many loved ones included.

The ceremony space at The Arlington Estate was even more grand and stunning than these photos do justice. And the reception space, even more so. A family member of the bride’s was responsible for the breathtaking decor and it’s so clear she worked tireless to make it that way. Watching the couple do a grand reveal of their hall made it all worth it.

For creative portraits, we headed into downtown Kleinburg where we popped into McMichael gallery briefly before walking the streets of downtown. Britney had a perfect vision of them and their crew mingling together downtown, before her and Lucas stopping to get a gelato and espresso. In fact, this whole wedding was her vision come to life and I was HERE for it. We headed back to the Arlington grounds for a few more group shots before focusing on the couple and thank goodness the grounds are big because….this was a big wedding party. The biggest I’ve ever photographed by far! And each one of them were such great sports, and so patient.

Their reception had everything. Live music, anti pasto bar, amazing food, and their first dance under that MAGICAL ceiling display to Justin TImberlake’s “Mirror”?? Speechless. Despite all that, they let me pull them away for a few more sunset photos, which are some of the most epic ones I’ve taken. We then returned to capture their guests dance the night away and when I tell you this crew could party - I mean it. The energy was through the roof and so contagious, I felt like I couldn’t leave. The only reason I finally did was because I had to get up early to photograph another wedding ;) All in all, an absolute fairytale wedding that I will remember capturing forever.

(And btw, I know what you’re thinking. No, this isn’t THE Britney Spears. Its a different Britney. But you could’ve fooled me)
