Elly & Sean
Elly and Sean met in college, in Kingston, where they shared a desk in their art classes. They quickly became best friends, and eventually realized they had feelings for each other. After graduation, they moved in together and have been inseparable for the past eight years.
Elly had proposed to Sean countless times, but Sean wanted to do it himself. He planned a special proposal, taking some chairs from their living room and putting them out on the deck with some wine. After giving Elly a sweet, adoring look, he came over and popped the question using her grandmother’s diamond. They designed the ring together afterwards.
Elly and Sean both work as graphic designers and they love spending their weekends watching sci-fi movies and going on walks with their bernedoodle, Huey.
Elly and Sean’s intimate wedding took place on a hot September day at Umbrella Bar, overlooking Dow’s Lake in Ottawa, Ontario. The venue provided a beautiful and scenic setting for their ceremony and reception, with the lake and trees serving as a stunning backdrop.
The couple exchanged vows in front of the gorgeously decorated fire place at Umbrella, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The ceremony was filled with love and emotion, and the couple’s joy was palpable. After the ceremony, they celebrated with a reception filled with delicious food, heart-felt speeches and lots of dancing.
It was a beautiful and unforgettable day, and I’m so honoured to have been a part of it!
