ASHLEY & HUNTERS KAWARTHA lake front WEDDING getaway

Some weddings don’t just happen in a single day—they unfold like a story. Ashley & Hunter’s two-night lakefront celebration in the Kawarthas was exactly that: a weekend filled with quiet moments, deep belly laughs, dockside sunsets, and the kind of love that feels both familiar and wildly new.

The Kawartha Lakes were the perfect backdrop for everything Ashley & Hunter wanted their wedding to be—relaxed, intentional, and overflowing with time spent with the people they love most. Instead of rushing through a timeline, they chose to stretch their celebration across days, letting every chapter breathe.

The first evening felt like slipping into a warm summer memory. Friends and family trickled into the lake house, drinks in hand, settling into the rhythm of the water lapping the shore. There was no pressure, no schedule—just the soft hum of conversations, the crackle of a fire, and the glow of string lights wrapped around the deck.

Ashley and Hunter spent the night exactly how they wanted: surrounded by laughter, watching the sky fade from gold to deep blue, knowing that the morning would bring the start of forever.

Their ceremony overlooked the glistening lake, with the breeze tugging softly at Ashley’s veil. With every vow, every tear, every smile, the day felt more like them—uncomplicated, grounded, and overflowing with heart.

Golden hour hit the lake like magic. We snuck away to the dock, where Ashley’s dress brushed the weathered wood and the sky set itself on fire in shades of orange and pink. These were the moments where time felt suspended—just two people wrapped up in the beauty of their own story.

Back at the house, the reception came alive. Twinkling lights, barefoot dancing, clinking glasses, and guests who fully embraced the “weekend getaway” energy. It wasn’t a wedding you simply attended—it was a wedding you experienced.
A Celebration That Felt Like Home

What made Ashley & Hunter’s Kawartha wedding so special wasn’t just the setting—though the lake has a magic all its own—it was how true the entire weekend felt to who they are. Easygoing. Joyful. Deeply connected. A celebration that felt less like a production and more like the world’s warmest family vacation… with a love story at the center.

Ashley & Hunter, thank you for inviting me into your weekend, your people, and your memories. Your wedding wasn’t just beautiful—it was heartfelt, effortless, and radiantly you.
