Amanda & Joe’s Timeless Wedding at Tudor House at Mason’s Cove
Some weddings feel like stepping into a storybook. Amanda and Joe’s wedding at Tudor House at Mason’s Cove was exactly that—a romantic, heartfelt celebration at one of the most breathtaking venues in the area.
A Venue Like No Other
Tudor House at Mason’s Cove is easily one of my favorite places to shoot a wedding. The historic estate, set against the picturesque Portage Lakes, provides a stunning backdrop for every moment. The lush grounds alone make this venue a dream location, but what truly sets it apart are the boat rides. Yes, you read that right—wedding guests (and the couple!) can take a boat ride across the serene waters, making for an unforgettable experience. Amanda and Joe took full advantage of this, and it added such a unique touch to their day.
A Love Story a Decade in the Making
Amanda and Joe have spent nearly ten years building their life together, and their wedding day reflected that deep bond. Their first look was one of the sweetest I’ve ever captured—pure joy, a few tears, and a moment they’ll cherish forever. Right after, they exchanged letters, each word carrying the weight of their love and history together. It was an emotional moment, and it was impossible not to feel the depth of their connection.
The Sweetest Touch—Literally
As if their wedding wasn’t already full of personal details, Amanda—who is a talented pastry chef—took it to another level. She made all the desserts herself, and let’s just say they were nothing short of spectacular. Every guest raved about them, and it was clear that baking isn’t just her profession—it’s her passion. Seeing a bride pour her heart into such a meaningful part of her wedding made it even more special.
Why Your Photographer & Videographer Should Know Your Venue
Beyond the stunning visuals and heartfelt moments, Amanda and Joe’s wedding highlights something incredibly important—hiring a photographer and videographer who are familiar with your venue. Tudor House at Mason’s Cove, while breathtaking, has specific lighting conditions and unique locations that can be tricky for someone who hasn’t shot there before. Knowing the best angles, how to work with natural light around the lake, and when to capture those golden-hour shots can make all the difference.
Choosing a team that knows your venue inside and out ensures your photos and film will showcase your wedding in the best way possible. From experience, I can say that familiarity with a venue allows me to anticipate moments, suggest the best portrait locations, and adapt quickly to any challenges that might arise. If you’re getting married at a venue as special as Tudor House, it’s worth making sure your photography and videography team knows how to capture it beautifully.
A Day to Remember
Amanda and Joe’s wedding was a perfect reflection of their love—timeless, heartfelt, and full of personal touches. From their emotional first look to their one-of-a-kind boat ride and those unforgettable desserts, every moment was a joy to capture.
