Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant Wedding C + Y

Catherine and Yannick tied the knot at the Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant last February. Avid winter sports enthusiasts, a snow wedding was a natural choice for them. It also allowed them to gather friends and family for a weekend at a hotel in Tremblant. And weddings go by so quickly that it's truly wonderful to see loved ones both the day before and the day after the big day. In fact, this is one of Catherine's recommendations to all future brides and grooms: to stretch it out as long as possible to truly savor the moment. The couple had even planned a brunch for Sunday morning—not too early, haha!

First look at the Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant with the bride and groom's daughters

The lovers got ready in rooms close to each other. The day before the wedding, I had a flash that it could be fantastic to do a first look as a family! That is to say with the bride and groom's daughters and themselves. Since the weather was quite mild, the snow had melted in places. So we decided "on the spot" that we would take the first look photos right after leaving the rooms, outside. Catherine only had to go through the sliding door of her room to join Yannick and the girls, who were waiting for her with their backs to her. The second photo below is everything I had imagined when doing this with the children: wonder and emotion!

Ceremony at the Church of Saint-Faustin

Since in winter, the sun sets early, we took the official photos with the bride and groom and the procession before the ceremony. Less stress in the carpet because the bride and groom had seen each other just before, we went to the Church of St-Faustin in Mont-Blanc. I have already been to this church several years ago. I did not remember it being so beautiful and so grandiose! Built at the end of the 19th century, the church is rich in details with all its columns and stained glass windows. And, by the way, over the years, I have often noticed that by doing a first look, the bride and groom can better enjoy their ceremony. It is a lot of emotions at the same time, but often the groom is as excited to see his future wife walk down the aisle as if he had not taken the photos with her just before.

Reception at the Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant

I will never stop saying how much I LOVE winter weddings. It's beautiful, it's magical and it's out of the ordinary! In addition, the temperature was perfect, milder than normal. It wasn't sunny but it's better in my opinion for taking outdoor photos. Catherine and Yannick knew how to surround themselves with great suppliers for the occasion. Cooperation was easy with them. Communication is the basis when you work with people you see for the first or second time and everything was perfect with them. Special mention to the dessert table made by Flour and Chocolate. I couldn't stop looking at it and taking pictures of it hahaha! I love the symmetry! The decor set up and coordination was done by Miss F, the smiling Cynthia accompanied by her sister for the occasion. And then what about the bride and groom's outfits? Catherine found her dress at White Space of Whites and Yannick's outfit personalized and handmade by Surmesur.

Speaking of well-chosen suppliers, the reception was masterfully led by Robert Applyrs of The Applyrs Xperience. He knew how to capture the attention of the many guests with a fiery animation. He also made some games by involving not only the bride and groom but sometimes only their guests. Catherine and Yannick were able to enjoy the moment, realizing how well surrounded they are. I left them after having spent twelve hours with them! And then I wasn't even tired! Just a little "electrified" to have been able to witness such a beautiful day!
