Wedding at Jude Pomme in Oka: Melissa and Jonathan

married couple at Jude Pomme in Oka

Melissa and Jonathan got married in the beautiful orchards of Jude Pomme in Oka in the summer of 2019. It was one of my favorite weddings of the year! Why? For several reasons! First of all, it was very rustic and country-style: the decorations, mostly done by the bride's mother, were perfect! I loved Melissa and Jonathan's kindness, their good humor, their jokes and laughter, and Melissa's dress (from Jude Pomme). Vézina Creations) and the guys' outfits, the procession that kept making me laugh, Melissa's "bridesman" or man of honor, the flowers, in short, pretty much all the choices they made to have their perfect day!

Melissa was really keen to have her first look with her dad. We had to find a spot where the guests wouldn't see the bride get out of the car. So we retreated to the shade of the barn so father and daughter could see each other privately. And it was so touching! Melissa's father was so proud of his daughter and even got a little teary-eyed!

The ceremony in the orchards of Jude Apple in Oka

The couple, together since 2008, said "I do" in the beautiful orchards of Jude Pomme. It was incredibly funny and touching at the same time. Also, I have to admit that over the years, I've seen fewer and fewer church weddings. And I find that ceremonies are much more personalized and intimate now. Just like the couple themselves. But at the same time, a church is SO BEAUTIFUL!

Right after the group photo, we went for a walk in the orchard to take family and wedding party photos. What an enchanting setting Oka is! I find the region truly magnificent! Melissa was determined to take photos in one of the small wooded areas on the vast grounds of Jude Pomme. And what a great idea! We were in the shade, and there was a light breeze. I won't lie, it felt amazing to stop being so hot for a little while, haha!

Once again, I was impressed by all the effort the bride and groom and Melissa's mother put into personalizing the decorations! Several spots featured photo frames, keepsakes, and cute little accessories. Ultimately, the evening unfolded in a joyful atmosphere, a sure sign that the couple knows how to surround themselves with the right people!
