A Sincere Catholic Ceremony at Nazareth House Chapel


The heart of this wedding was undoubtedly the ceremony. Their Catholic wedding ceremony at Nazareth House Chapel was full of meaning, celebrating not only their love for each other but also their shared faith.

Moments like these are a reminder of how powerful simplicity can be. The quiet prayers, gentle glances, and emotion woven through the ceremony created an atmosphere that felt incredibly genuine. Photographing ceremonies like this is always an honour, especially when the focus is so clearly on faith, commitment, and connection.

Portraits Around Nazareth House


After the ceremony, we spent some time capturing portraits in and around Nazareth House, making the most of the peaceful surroundings and timeless architecture. The florals were understated and elegant, soft pink roses for the bride and orchids and baby’s breath adding just the right touch of romance in the chapel.

Jason and Chanel were completely at ease together, which made the portrait session feel relaxed and natural. These quieter moments, just after the ceremony, often end up being some of the most meaningful images of the day.

A Wedding Day with Personal Touches


One of the most unique details of the day was their wedding car, a Ferrari. Jason and Chanel both work for Ferrari, and incorporating it into their wedding was a beautiful way to reflect a part of their lives and story together. It was a subtle but striking personal touch that added character to their portraits without taking away from the intimate nature of the day. After the ceremony, Chanel removed the overskirt of her ballgown style dress to reveal a gorgeous vintage lace sheath style dress.
