About the Couple and Their Day
Mathilde and Erik are the kind of couple who radiate warmth the moment you meet them—joyful, connected, and entirely in love. Their wedding day reflected that energy: bright, modern, emotional, and full of thoughtful choices that made guests feel immersed in their story.
They began their day at The Brix in Moncton, a sleek, modern venue with towering windows and striking black-and-white interiors. The natural light pouring in made for breathtaking getting-ready portraits and a heartfelt first look that truly set the tone for the day.
Their ceremony took place at Our Lady of Assumption Church, one of Moncton’s most architecturally impressive cathedrals. With its soaring ceilings, warm acoustics, and an extraordinary choir, Mathilde and Erik exchanged vows surrounded by beauty, reverence, and the emotional support of their closest family and friends.
From there, the celebration only grew more vibrant.
What Made This Wedding Special
Every moment of Mathilde and Erik’s wedding felt intentional, joyful, and beautifully curated.
A modern, light-filled start to the day:
The Brix served as a perfect canvas—bright, minimalistic, and elegant. Both partners got ready on-site, which created a relaxed pace and seamless transitions.
A breathtaking ceremony experience:
Our Lady of Assumption Church offered majesty and emotion in equal measure. The choir’s music filled the space, enhancing vows that were heartfelt, tear-filled, and deeply meaningful.
A relaxed, social celebration:
Instead of a traditional sit-down dinner, guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres throughout the evening. This created a lively, mingling atmosphere where guests laughed, connected, and fully enjoyed the experience.
Sunset magic:
Their first dance happened just as the sun dipped low, draping them in golden light—the kind of glow photographers dream of.
A party to remember:
The DJ kept the room energized with house music, and later, a live performance by Pat Gillespie took over, ensuring the dance floor stayed full until the very end.
Exceptional vendors:
Every detail—from the florals by Osea Lavender to planning by Purabella Design—contributed to a seamless, visually stunning day. Social content by Sarah Reeder at Ampersand Social ensured moments were captured in every format.
