Josee and Patrick had a beautiful ceremony and reception at the Italian Cultural Centre.

They didn’t have an engagement session but I got to meet them earlier in the summer, by accident. Josee was a bridesmaid in another wedding I was shooting! I love how everyone is so connected in Thunder Bay.

After the ceremony we headed to Hillcrest Park for the family and wedding party photos. We found the most beautiful tree to use as a back drop, with the Lake Superior and the Sleeping Giant in the background of course. A few quick photos at the flower gardens there and then back to the ICC for dinner and dancing. I was surprised, everyone was fairly laid back all day but once the dance floor opened up everyone got out of their seats! Such a great, fun way to end the night for me.
