Laura & Patrick | St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church & Parkwood Estate Wedding | Oshawa, ON


Laura and Patrick’s wedding in Oshawa, Ontario, was a beautiful combination of timeless elegance, romantic details, and editorial-inspired wedding photography.

Their day began with a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church in Oshawa, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The beautiful church architecture and warm wooden details created a lovely setting for their ceremony.

After the ceremony, we headed to Parkwood Estate, one of the most beautiful wedding photography locations in the Durham Region.

One of the biggest advantages of these two locations is how close they are to each other! St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church is approximately a four-minute walk from Parkwood Estate, making it an ideal combination for couples who want to spend less time travelling and more time enjoying their wedding day.

Parkwood Estate's historic architecture, elegant stone staircases, fountains, and beautifully maintained gardens gave us so many opportunities to create a mix of classic wedding portraits, editorial-inspired images, and natural candid moments.

From romantic couple portraits to fun moments with their wedding party, Laura and Patrick's wedding was a perfect example of how timeless elegance and documentary-style photography can come together.

Planning your wedding at Parkwood Estate or in Oshawa? I'd love to help you capture your day with a mix of natural, timeless, and editorial wedding photography.
