Wedding on Navark Island in Boucherville: V + BP

Valérie and BP's magnificent wedding on Navark Island took place in early summer 2018. It's the kind of wedding you're still thinking about the next day, and even two days later. The kind where you feel lucky to have been there. A wedding filled with emotion, touching, and sincere. A wedding that celebrates the love of two wonderful people. A couple as kind as can be, generous, and beautiful! I started the day by joining the guys at the Hôtel de Mortagne in Boucherville. BP was getting ready there with his groomsmen and his two sons. A festive atmosphere was already in the air, which promised to be a great start to the day. Once the guys' prep photos were finished, I went to see Valérie, who was getting her hair and makeup done at home with her bridesmaids. I like to mix up the bride and groom's preparations when I write a blog post or printed books. It doesn't have to be chronological, in my opinion.

First look of the newlyweds before heading to Navark Island

I loved the First Look we did in Old Boucherville. I went to scout the day before the wedding. Bruno-Pierre would be waiting for Valérie on a street corner and I didn't want him to be in direct sunlight. I looked for a beautiful background and nice locations for the couple and procession photos. Let's face it, a group of 18 people is not easy, we had to find places that could "contain" them all.

And what a "First Look" it was! I had tears in my eyes it was so touching! But I had pictures to take and I stayed focused haha! It was super important for the bride and groom that their children were there. And even more touching to see their oldest, Justin, burst into tears at the sight of his mother! I think it was the most beautiful first look I have ever attended! I could hear the bridesmaids crying, behind the bride! And for Valérie, it was one of her favorite moments of the day!

Ceremony and reception on Navark Island

The couple wanted to get married in the same place where they danced their first slow dance together! It was in 2006, on Navark Island in Boucherville. The ceremony, officiated by BP's father, Pierre Marcotte, took place outdoors on site. It was funny, touching, and perfect. The wedding ceremony continued with a cocktail reception where the signature drink was the mojito! I had plenty of time to photograph the magnificent decorations. The flowers were arranged by one of the bridesmaids, France. It was MAGNIFICENT! The evening continued in a festive atmosphere with several moving testimonials from the wedding party and the groom's parents!
