Bella Gardens Event Centre
From the moment I arrived, Kelly and Raffi’s wedding day felt intentional, warm, and full of heart. The morning began in two different places, with Kelly and Raffi getting ready at their respective homes. Photographing those early hours is always one of my favorite parts of the day. Quiet moments, nervous excitement, and loved ones buzzing around, all before the celebrations truly begin. Both homes were filled with anticipation, laughter, and the kind of calm that comes from knowing you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
We then made our way to their venue, Bella Gardens Event Centre. A stunning rustic backdrop that set the tone for the rest of the day. Kelly and Raffi chose to do a first look, and it was such a meaningful moment—private, emotional, and grounding. From there, we flowed seamlessly into couple portraits and bridal party photos. The joy between them was effortless, and their wedding party brought so much energy and fun that photographing this part felt easy and natural.
Ceremony/Reception
Their civil ceremony took place under a tent adorned with twinkling lights, creating an intimate, romantic atmosphere despite the open space. As they exchanged vows, the light filtered in softly, and you could feel how present everyone was in that moment.
One of my favorite parts of the day was their extra-long cocktail hour. They truly prioritized time with their loved ones, lingering in conversations, hugs, and laughter while the celebration unfolded around them.
As the evening transitioned into the reception, heartfelt speeches filled the room, followed by a packed dance floor that stayed lively well into the night. From start to finish, their wedding was a beautiful reflection of who they are. Joyful, connected, and deeply in love. It was an honor to capture it all through my lens.
The second shooter for this wedding was Raspal Singh.
