Elle By Stella Villa and Gardens is one of my favourite wedding venues in Waterloo Region and I’m so proud to be a trusted and preferred wedding photographer there and all Stella Co venues including Cellar 52 and Timber Barn!
As a candid and creative wedding photographer in Kitchener, Elle by Stella is an easy drive for me as it’s nestled outside the beautiful town of St Jacobs Ontario where I spend a good portion of each wedding season photographing weddings and engagement sessions. From the shops, to the restaurants, to the trails and riverside views, St Jacobs is a quaint and stunning location for your wedding day.
Here are a few of my favourite things about Elle:
The venue features an expansive reception space, creating a luxurious and timeless feel for your reception. From the overhead florals of the head table, to the remarkable light fixtures, Elle is a beautiful palette for you use as you bring your wedding vision to life.
Elle St Jacobs features an incredible and large patio space, where your guests can enjoy a relaxed cocktail hour. The patio space features it’s own bar and tables with a built in fire pit, so your guests can enjoy conversation over a nice beverage and fire. If it’s a hot day, the large patio tree will keep everyone cool!
Elle features a one-of-a-kind ceremony space. As you’ll see in the photos below, the venue’s ceremony space is expansive and allows for anticipation to occur as guests await wedding party members and couples to walk down the aisle. At the head of the ceremony space is a picturesque waterfall that you can stand in front of as you marry the love of your life.
While I aim to make photos anywhere and with any weather conditions, the surroundings of Elle make for stunning photos in every direction.
The FOOD. Gilt Catering is known in Waterloo region for bringing delicious eats to every event, and Elle by Stella is no different! Every wedding I photograph here has guests raving about their reception meal (and the snacks, because who doesn’t like snacks on a wedding day?)
Justine and Jacob had the perfect day at Elle St Jacobs, and I am grateful to have been there for it all. Justine and Jacob hired me to capture photography as well as a highlight film of their day, and my good friend Taylor kindly came along for the day to produce an hour long behind the scenes video showcasing my thought process on the wedding day as I photographed and filmed it. Below you’ll find the behind the scenes video, the highlight film we captured for the couple, and 75+ of my favourite images from this wedding day at Elle by Stella Wedding Villa and Gardens.
