Shaun and Patrick’s elegant black and white wedding

We were having dinner one night last year when Shaun and Patrick announced their intention to get married in 2011. They were still looking for a date and, as we were chatting, 9.10.11 came up as a nice combination. So they stuck to it and not only that, but I was even more excited when they asked me if I could capture their day. Very early into the planning they knew they would love to have a black and white, stylish party somewhere outside, ideally by the water. With the TIFF on during September and with many venues already booked, an amazing opportunity came up. Their good friends Nicolle and Dan offered to host the celebrations at their cottage, just outside of Bobcaygeon. What can I begin with? First of all, I arrived there the day before the wedding. I was able to witness all the preparations and I have to say, I was blown away by the way Nicolle and Dan had turned there already beautiful place into a festive, intimate, candle lit
lounge-like wedding spot. Simply amazing. Nicolle also made the cake for Shaun and Patrick and even ordered the topper all the way from London UK, as she could not find something similar around here. Fun!
Shaun and Patrick got ready at a cute little resort called MacArthurs (right across the lake) so Dan brought them in a little boat for the ceremony, to the surprise and delight of their guests impatiently waiting on top of the boat house. I have to say, that moment only was exhilarating.
The party was super vibrant, with fantastic home made food, great music and high spirited attendants. The night ended with Dan’s fireworks and a great bonfire.

Shaun and Patrick, may you always hug each other throughout your new life together with the same passion and love you did during your first dance. Congratulations, love you! Manuela
