Some weddings are simply unforgettable, and Anh and Jason’s elegant celebration at the Manitoba Club was one of them. From the sentimental moments to the breathtaking decor, their wedding was a heartfelt and visually stunning affair that perfectly reflected their personalities and love story.
A Love Story Rooted in Thoughtfulness
Anh and Jason share a love for good food, biking, and, most importantly, each other. Their wedding day was a true reflection of their kind, sentimental spirits. Jason, calm and composed, balanced Anh’s creative and sweet nature, making their day one of harmony and beauty.
A Picture-Perfect Day
The morning began at the iconic Fort Garry Hotel, where both Anh and Jason prepared for the day ahead. Anh, ever thoughtful, wanted to dedicate special time to capturing Jason’s portraits. She envisioned him in a GQ-style shoot, ensuring he had his moment to shine. It was a stylish and intimate prelude to the day's events.
Following their morning preparations, the couple honored their heritage with a traditional tea ceremony. This was a first-time experience for their photographer, making it all the more special to document. The tea ceremony was a beautiful tribute to their culture and families, adding deep meaning to their wedding story.
After a short break, the couple changed into their Western wedding attire. Jason looked incredibly sharp, while Anh’s dress and flowing veil were simply stunning. Their outdoor ceremony in the Bonnycastle Garden at the Manitoba Club was short, sweet, and filled with love. The lush greenery and elegant setup made for a picturesque scene as they exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends.
Capturing the Love
Following the ceremony, the couple and their wedding party took photos in the scenic spaces surrounding the Manitoba Club, including the nearby Upper Fort Garry Park. The lighting was perfect, creating a dreamy and romantic atmosphere for their portraits. Anh had sourced delicate parasols for the shoot, adding a unique and whimsical touch. Though a few didn’t survive the wind, they still managed to get incredible shots that will be cherished forever.
A Reception to Remember
After their portrait session, it was time for the big reception reveal. The garden space had been entirely transformed into a breathtakingly intimate and magical setting. The soft lighting, lush florals, and thoughtful decor details turned the evening into a true fairytale.
Guests were treated to an incredible hors d’oeuvre menu during cocktail hour before settling in for an intimate dinner filled with heartfelt toasts. The couple’s emcee—a lively and engaging family member—kept the energy high, encouraging impromptu speeches and making sure every guest felt part of the celebration.
Midway through the night, Anh and Jason snuck away for a few more photos, capturing the romance of the evening. As the reception concluded, the celebration wasn’t over yet! The couple and their guests made their way to Fête Ice Cream & Coffee—one of their favorite spots—to end the night on a sweet note. They had rented the entire shop, allowing everyone to indulge in custom ice cream flavors inspired by their favorite treats.
