Enchanted Forest Wedding at The Clearing | Ashley + Owen
Ashley and Owen's wedding was a magical experience from start to finish. They began their day at the Delta Hotel in London, Ontario, where Ashley prepared go ready with her bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. The atmosphere was filled with love and laughter. One of the most special moments was when her grandmother gifted her the garter from her own wedding—a beautiful tradition passed down. Ashley shared a first look with her father in the suite before we headed to the venue.
The Clearing in Shedden, Ontario, served as the perfect backdrop for this enchanted forest wedding. I was instantly captivated by the gorgeous light filtering through the trees. Ashley and Owen shared a heartfelt first look in the same spot where they would later share their first dance. They made sure to include their pup in a few photos before the ceremony which added an extra layer of sweetness to the day. And of course, we managed to capture some stunning shots of the couple and their wedding party before guests started to arrive for the ceremony.
The ceremony itself was beautiful, and it was followed by a delightful cocktail hour with delicious appetizers from Belmont Town Restaurant & Catering. Ashley and Owen's couple portraits were truly something out of a fairytale—sunkissed and full of enchanted forest vibes. After dinner, we snuck out for some breathtaking sunset photos. Ashley and Owen were such a blast to photograph, and they were so natural in front of the camera.
The evening continued with heartfelt speeches and dancing under the stars. The joy and love shared by everyone made the reception unforgettable. Ashley and Owen, surrounded by their loved ones, celebrated their love story in the most memorable way. From the enchanted forest setting to the personal touches throughout the day, their wedding was a perfect reflection of their love and the beginning of their happily ever after.
