Kaitlin & Sasha’s Intimate Wedding at Ivy Ridge — With Dog Maple by Their Side
Some wedding days are quiet in the best way — slow, intentional, and full of meaning. Kaitlin and Sasha’s intimate wedding at Ivy Ridge was exactly that. Set against the timeless charm of the venue, their day felt deeply personal from start to finish, surrounded by only their closest family and friends.
Every detail was chosen with care, but what made the day truly special was how true it felt to who they are — especially with their beloved pup, Maple, right there alongside them.
🐾 Maple: The Most Important Guest
Maple wasn’t just included in the day — she was part of it. From quiet moments of companionship to being present during key parts of the celebration, Maple’s involvement added an extra layer of warmth and joy. There’s something incredibly grounding about having your dog with you on a day like this, and Kaitlin and Sasha fully embraced that. It was a beautiful reminder that family comes in many forms — and Maple is very much part of theirs.
🤍 A Celebration Rooted in Connection
With a smaller guest count, every interaction felt intentional. The vows were heartfelt and emotional, shared in a space that felt safe and full of love. Laughter flowed easily, hugs lingered longer, and the energy of the day never felt rushed. This wasn’t about tradition for tradition’s sake — it was about connection, presence, and celebrating love in a way that felt right for them.
🎥 Telling Their Story on Film
As their wedding videographer, I approached this day with a focus on gentle storytelling and candid moments. The kind that unfold naturally — a glance, a squeeze of the hand, Maple trotting nearby, the way the room softened during the vows. The film captures not just how the day looked, but how it felt: calm, emotional, and deeply meaningful.
Ivy Ridge provided the perfect backdrop — timeless, elegant, and quietly romantic — allowing the moments themselves to take center stage. Every frame reflects the intimacy of the day and the strong bond Kaitlin and Sasha share.
✨ A Day That Felt Like Home
Kaitlin and Sasha’s wedding was a reminder that weddings don’t need to be big to be powerful. With the people (and pup) they love most, they created a day that felt warm, grounded, and completely their own.
It was an honour to capture this beautiful chapter of their story — one filled with love, intention, and Maple right by their side.
Congratulations, Kaitlin & Sasha!
