JW Marriot The Rosseau Muskoka Wedding

Bryan + Adam

May they live long and prosper!

Bryan and Adam, two of the most die hard Trekies I’ve ever met, had a beautiful wedding in the Muskoka’s north of Toronto at the JW Marriot The Rosseau.

The resort is just a stunning place to be, perched up on a hill overlooking Lake Rosseau which is one of the most exclusive and historic lakes in the Muskokas. I kept look around for Dan Akroyd or Kurt Russell!

We all spent the morning getting ready in some beautiful suites on the resort. A really nice touch was that Bryan and Adam made custom Star Trek communicators and rank pips for everyone in their wedding party (I did say they were die hards!). Easily one of the coolest wedding DIY’s I’ve seen over the years.

We took advantage of the grounds on the resort for some pictures of Bryan and Adam and their wedding party before the ceremony including out on the docks with the lake in the background… it helps when the weather cooperates and you get a beautiful day!

The ceremony location was pretty epic, on a hilltop overlooking the lake and surrounded by outcroppings of the Canadian Shield. The ceremony itself was relaxed and near effortless as Bryan and Adam had already been married during Covid and this ceremony was for their friends and family to enjoy. I love when a true friend of the couple is able to officiate the ceremony, it always makes it so much more personal.

After the ceremony there were some family pictures and then cocktail hour on the patio.

Dinner was intermixed with speeches that were filled with Star Trek quotes, trivia and even impressions… of course if you wanted to see Bryan + Adam kiss you had to get up to the mic and give your best Star Trek line. I even managed to sneak them back down to the water at dusk for some of my favourite portraits we did that day.

The rest of the night was filled with dancing; from their first dance, to dancing with their mother to some truly epic moves on the dance floor late in the night.

In a small world, Adam works with one of my previous brides at Sick Kids! Check out Emily + Aaron’s Archeo Wedding!
