Melissa + Nick - Elle By Stella Wedding
Melissa and Nick met through mutual friends and spent many years remaining as ‘just friends’ until their first date in 2017. Before that, Melissa had a feeling that the two were meant to be together, especially as more and more of their friends started suggesting that the two of them become a couple! In October 2022, the couple got engaged on a family trip to Florida and well, the rest is history!
Melissa and Nick’s wedding was at Elle By Stella, a gorgeous venue in St. Jacobs, Ontario by the Stella Collective. It is honestly one of my absolute favourite venues and is the perfect space for dreamy, romantic photos. Before the ceremony, Melissa did a first look with her dad and I so love that we were able to capture that special moment. Their outdoor ceremony was beautiful, with hues of green and orange from the trees and gardens acting as a stunning backdrop. Their ceremony also had a lot of laughs—and sentimental moments too.
The indoor reception space at Elle is equally as beautiful as their outdoor ceremony space. If you love an elegant look with a few rustic touches, this is the venue for you. There were so many memorable moments throughout the reception, from sentimental (and hilarious) speeches to touching moments between family and friends. At the end of the night, guests held up sparklers for Melissa and Nick’s first dance, which made for some super gorgeous photos!
