Filomena and Shawn’s country club wedding at the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club was a true celebration of love, family, and timeless elegance. The day began with a calm and relaxed morning, setting the tone for a beautifully orchestrated event. As guests gathered under the open sky, the rain held off just long enough for their heartfelt outdoor ceremony. When they exchanged their vows, nature gifted them with a gentle rainfall, soon followed by the appearance of a stunning rainbow—a symbol of the beauty and joy that surrounded their union.
The reception was a blend of tradition and elegance, with luxurious florals adorning the classic country club space. Filomena, radiant in her lace-adorned gown and stunning veil, walked down the aisle accompanied by bridesmaids dressed in soft blush. Shawn and his groomsmen, dressed in sharp navy suits, added a sophisticated touch to the occasion.
One of the most memorable moments was their first dance, where Filomena and Shawn embraced a traditional Italian custom of being wrapped in ribbons—a symbolic gesture of their new life together. The celebration continued with lively energy as guests from around the world joined in the festivities, with the ring bearer stealing the show with his impressive dance moves and even acrobatics lighting up the dance floor.
Every detail of their country club wedding was thoughtfully chosen, creating an atmosphere of warmth and love that will be cherished forever. Photography by Emma captured this wedding, with its classic elegance and beautiful surroundings, provided the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable day.
