The Distinction of Joliette – MJ + J's Wedding
Marie-Jacques and Joël's wedding took place at La Distinction in Joliette, early last fall. It was a unique wedding, filled with emotion, laughter, and complicity. It must be said that the bride and groom brought together their loved ones, and everyone seemed to know each other so well. The couple has a unifying spirit, and this is evident in their wedding photos.
I started the day with the guys getting ready at Joël's parents' house in Joliette. I had a lot of fun with them because everyone was looking forward to the day with good humor and lots of jokes. I like to mix up the preps for my wedding posts. So I then found myself at the Château Joliette for the bride's preparations. And then that's when I was surprised to see her wedding dress, which was black!
Marie-Jacques often wears black and rarely white. This is one of the reasons she chose a dress that was unique and reflected her personality. She rocked the look perfectly, with her numerous tattoos and all the different details she had thought of for her big day.
Ceremony on the Island of Distinction
Once the bride's preparations were photographed, we headed to La Distinction which is a mere 7 minutes by car from the Château Joliette Hotel! The guests were waiting for the wedding ceremony on the small island of the rural setting. The island was bathed in the perfect light to celebrate the union of lovers. I couldn't have asked for better lighting. Plus, colorful leaves were beginning to appear on the trees.
The couple's two children welcomed the ceremony with great emotion. They were touched that their parents were finally united, and it was as if they realized, at that moment, the magnitude of their gesture. Many tears were shed, and it was truly moving to see them!
After all the excitement and the ceremony was over, I left for the couple's photos alone, to enjoy the enchanting location. Then, I took some photos with their families and the entire wedding party.
Reception in the Soprano Room at La Distinction
The wedding reception took place in the cozy La Soprano room, decorated all in black and gold. The chic decor was created by David Lavallée of Master D Productions. The same ones who were there as MC/DJ for the occasion. The evening went by in a flash with several speeches from the couple's parents as well as their groomsmen/maids. The atmosphere was festive and everyone was so happy to be there with the bride and groom to celebrate their union. I even felt like I was one of "their" people, everyone was so kind and friendly.
I left the party as the bride was on speaker haha, so that was kind of my 'cue' to leave haha!
