Laughter on the Bridge, Vows in the Foundry | Madeline and Jaron's Editorial Romance at Elora Mill

It’s hard to describe a day that felt this intentional. Every movement, every location, every quiet glance—it all held weight. For Madeline and Jaron, the wedding wasn’t just about the celebration. It was about holding space. Honouring history. Building something new.

Set against the textured charm of Elora’s historic stone and soft June light, this wedding was a love letter to family, friendship, and joy that doesn’t need to shout to be heard.

Morning Calm at Cedarcliffe & Colborne Lodge

The morning began at Cedarcliffe Elora, where Madeline was surrounded by her sisters and closest friends. There was laughter—but also stillness. Jeige Makeup and Shannon Petrolio's team worked like artists at easels, while the florals by Jodi Leigh were delivered in perfect harmony.

Across town at Colborne Lodge, Jaron prepped with his crew—casual, clean, calm. A quick shot of whiskey. A straightening of the tie. It’s these in-between moments that give the final film its soul.

Ceremony at The Foundry

The ceremony at The Foundry, with its soaring ceilings and intimate warmth, unfolded like a sacred poem. Live music from the Soenen Sisters set the tone as guests gathered. The walk down the aisle was slow and reverent, but it wasn’t stiff. It was real. Emotional. You could feel it in the air—that ripple of something bigger.

Room Reveal and Golden Hour Romance

Their first dance was cheeky and joyful—Party for Two by Shania Twain & Billy Currington. Playful, but packed with meaning.

After that? The champagne tower sparkled, the DJ turned up, and the floor filled fast. There was a change of dress, a bouquet toss, and then just wave after wave of celebration.
