Through the lens
photographer - Michael & Melanie Photography, Winnipeg MB
At Mint Wedding Magazine, we want to take you inside the mind of a wedding photographer, revealing the magic they see and feel on your special day. A photographer’s skill isn’t just in their technical prowess, but in how they connect with the couple, the guests, and the ambiance, capturing moments that are uniquely reflective of your personality and love story. This connection is what makes a photographer a perfect fit for you. Join us as we travel through Courtney & Mark’s wedding day through the lens of Michael and Melanie Photography.
Courtney & Mark completely trusted our vision and aesthetic from our first email communications, so we knew photographing their wedding day would be wonderful!
The day began at the Fort Garry Hotel where we were greeted with smiling faces, a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere, and beautiful floral arrangements. We were very impressed by their attention to detail and how they made a strong effort to incorporate their dogs, Atticus and Emmitt. Seeing those wagging tails and little tuxedos immediately set the tone for a day filled with love and laughter.
Photographing their ceremony at St. Ignatius Catholic Church was a dream. From the wooden pews to the high ceilings, the tradition, and the history, we witnessed Courtney, Mark, and their family connect deeply with their faith. The solemnity of the moment, the way the light filtered through the stained glass, and the emotional expressions of their loved ones provided endless opportunities for capturing timeless images.
Courtney expressed how much she loved the editorial style of our photography, so the legislative building was our next stop to capture a few images. They both really enjoyed this time to shine in front of our lenses. The grand architecture and dramatic lighting were perfect for creating those stunning, high-fashion shots that Courtney adored. This was followed by a drink at the Oval Room, where we captured some quiet, candid moments.
