Chateau des Charmes Wedding - Amanda Lachapelle

JESS + DAN

I love photographing Chateau des Charmes Weddings – after working there quite a bit and photographing the weddings of two staff members it kinda feels like coming home. I also love when Natalie (the coordinator) recommends me to couples and then sends me a separate email that basically says that the clients were made for me.

Nothing could be more true about Dan & Jess – they are among two of the gentlest and relaxed couples I have ever had the honour of working with – nothing phased them – not even the incredible heat wave that we were having that day. They woke up together, relaxed, went for a swim and that pretty much describes how they spent the day; together. Like two magnets these two are drawn to each other – not as opposites or yin and yang but rather as two souls that are so similar that the only probably outcome was for them to end up together; it was destiny. From the way they just fit together, look at each other, and hold each other – it was all effortless and truthfully it was very easy to photograph their day. Who else wouldn’t even blink as I climbed into the fountain – not just once but twice – in my defence though it was for a photo. I hope they are enjoying their honeymoon and enjoy these images when they get a chance to check in!

Also a special shoutout to Brianne who braved the heat with me – so much water was drunk and laughs had – lucky to have had her along for this ride with me for just about 8 years now. She did an awesome job and kept everything light hearted! Now on to the photos…
