Black River Retreat Wedding | Jessica + Lukas

Every once in a while you stumble across a place like Black River Retreat. The kind of place where you feel right at home and you just don’t want to leave. Especially on hot summer nights when the dance party on the deck is pumping and the fire pit is roaring. Then, every once in a while you meet people like Jessica and Lukas. Fun. Down to Earth. Ready to party and enjoy a day in the woods. Put all of that together and you wind up with #jessandlukas2k16 and a really memorable day. Located in Tweed, Ontario is this lovely property with rustic cabins, untouched woods and is flanked by the meandering Black River. The guys and gals all got ready on site being mindful to keep the bride and groom from seeing each other so that Lukas could enjoy seeing his bride for the first time, walking down the stone path where he waited by the riverside arbour with his best man, Seamus the Scotty! After the touching ceremony, we took off into the woods for some photos before the entertaining speeches, delicious meal and finally ending with dancing under the stars. Just. Lovely!

Before I peace out here, I wanted to thank the other vendors who helped make this day just that much more awesome! Lovebird bridal for Jess’s show stopping gown, Paula from the Flower Market, Selena Martin Catering for the cake and of course, all of the super friendly staff at Black River Retreat. I hope to see you again soon!
