VENUE : Bellamere Winery And Event Centre, London, Ontario
On August 8th, 2025, Jessica and Eric celebrated their wedding surrounded by friends and family at the stunning Bellamere Winery in London, Ontario. From the moment the day began, their vision was clear: to stay present, soak in every moment, and enjoy an unforgettable celebration with their loved ones.
We first met Jessica and Eric during their engagement session at Komoka Provincial Park, joined by their sweet dog. That afternoon gave us the chance to connect deeply, learning about their wedding plans and their life together. It made documenting their wedding day feel like capturing memories for old friends.
The day began at their home, where Eric and Jessica got ready surrounded by loved ones. Candid laughter, meaningful details, and quiet family moments set the stage for the celebration ahead.
Once at Bellamere Winery, Jessica and Eric shared their first look beneath the natural beauty of the venue’s grounds. Their portraits combined elegant editorial posing with relaxed, documentary-style captures that reflected their personalities and love story.
Following portraits, family photos unfolded seamlessly, filled with hugs, smiles, and heartfelt connections. The ceremony itself was beautiful and emotional, framed by Bellamere’s unique setting and warm summer light.
Cocktail hour that followed was full of laughter, clinking glasses, and spontaneous candid moments. Guests mingled among the vines and toasted the newlyweds as the sun began to set.
Bellamere Winery is one of London Ontario’s most beloved wedding venues, and it was the perfect backdrop for Jessica and Eric’s reception. Elegant details adorned the space as guests were welcomed to a night of joy and celebration.
The reception unfolded with touching speeches, a romantic first dance, emotional parent dances, and lively cake cutting. As the evening transitioned into dancing, the winery came alive with energy, and we had a blast capturing every candid moment on the dance floor.
The night closed with intimate night portraits outside the winery, capturing Jessica and Eric against the romantic glow of Bellamere’s grounds. It was the perfect ending to a day that reflected everything they had hoped for: presence, joy, and love shared with their favorite people.
