Summer Wedding at Madison Greenhouse
Some weddings just hit different. From the moment Julie and Lawrence reached out, we knew this one was going to be something special. They were already fans of our work (which always feels amazing!), and they were all-in from the very beginning—open to creativity, fully present, and ready to have the time of their lives.
Getting Ready + First Look at the Venue
The day started off in classic fashion: laughter, a little chaos, and some serious outfit envy. Both Julie and Lawrence got ready surrounded by close friends and family—plenty of nerves, happy tears, and those quiet little moments that always sneak up on you. Since they chose to do their first look at Madsen’s Greenhouse, we didn’t have to go far to capture some real magic.
The moment Lawrence saw Julie? Pure joy. Her smile, his reaction, the quiet backdrop of the venue’s gardens—it was intimate, emotional, and the perfect way to kick off the day.
Madison Greenhouse Outdoor Ceremony
Let’s talk about the outdoor ceremony space at Madison Greenhouse for a second. This place in the summer? Unreal. Surrounded by lush greenery, string lights, and dreamy garden vibes, Julie and Lawrence’s ceremony felt straight out of a movie. Saying “I do” under the open sky, with the sound of birds and a soft breeze in the background—it doesn’t get better.
Their ceremony was heartfelt and personal, filled with love, laughter, and a few tears. Guests were totally immersed, and we had a blast documenting every second of it.
Portraits in the Greenhouse + Garden
One of the things we love most about Madison is how many amazing spots there are for portraits—all within steps of each other. The glass ceilings, the greenery, the texture of the brick and vines—it’s basically a photographer’s playground. We barely had to move to get a full gallery of unique, editorial-style portraits that felt romantic and relaxed all at once.
Shoe Game and Reception Fun
Before the party kicked off, Julie and Lawrence surprised their guests with some classic wedding shoe game—an unexpected and hilarious twist that had everyone laughing (and a few people slightly panicked). These games are always one of our favourite traditions to photograph. They add such a lighthearted energy and create some seriously funny photo moments.
Then came the reception—and the party absolutely did not disappoint. Madison transformed into a glowing jungle of lights, with emotional speeches, wild dance moves, and a packed floor that didn’t slow down all night. And let’s just say the shoe game? Epic. 🎉
Julie and Lawrence, you were an absolute dream to photograph. Thank you for trusting us with your memories—and for throwing one of the best dance floor parties of the season.
