A Ceremony by the Water

Katie and Jake exchanged vows in front of Swan Lake’s breathtaking waterfront. With a backdrop of lush greenery and shimmering reflections on the lake, the ceremony felt both romantic and cinematic. Harry Potter-inspired décor—like wand details and spell-themed signage—added personality while keeping the focus on their love story.

Creative Portraits on the Bridge

One of the highlights of the day was capturing editorial-inspired wedding photography on Swan Lake’s iconic bridge after sunset. With creative lighting and a moody evening atmosphere, the portraits took on a magical, storybook quality. The bridge and surrounding reflections created an unforgettable setting, perfectly suited to their Harry Potter wedding theme.

A Reception Worthy of the Great Hall

Inside the ballroom, guests were transported into a scene reminiscent of Hogwarts’ Great Hall. Floating candles, house-inspired table settings, and magical décor brought the theme to life while keeping the space elegant and timeless. The night was filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and a packed dance floor—moments we loved capturing candidly as part of their story.
