The lake holding a full, unbroken reflection of the summer cloud and the wooded valley bank behind it

The arbour dressed in florals and white drapery on the lawn, the lake behind it

Hands joined at the timber arch in the hall, the officiant between the couple, white drapery and florals behind them

The bride reading a letter in the suite before the ceremony, her veil over her shoulder

A low winter sun standing over the frozen lake, seen through the spruce from the deck

Dusk on the lake, a couple standing on the far dock with the reeds in front

The wedding party crowded together at the lake, laughing, bouquets in the air

Red and orange ranunculus and wildflowers in a tall gold vase

A bouquet, heels, sunglasses, a ring box and stationery laid out on a stone floor

The lake holding the far bank and the whole sky at once, unbroken from one shore to the other

Every guest of a summer wedding gathered on the lawn above the lake, the arbour and the far shore behind them

Floating candles in glass cylinders among peach garden roses and baby's breath

The frozen lake under snow, the valley wall gold in the last of the afternoon

A lantern and white rose petals on the grass beside the aisle, the arbour behind

A couple on the shore, the bride's long veil trailing across the grass

Getting ready in the bridal suite: bridesmaids lifting the veil beside the window and the round mirrors

Round tables set for dinner on the hall's wood floor, white chairs, gold chargers and blush napkins

The vows at the arbour on the lawn, the lake directly behind

A couple walking out along the dock, a rowboat tied alongside

Wax-sealed cork favours piled in a linen-lined crate

Looking out from the deck in January, over the frozen lake and the dock

The bride smiling in the bridal suite as her bridesmaids set her veil, the wood-lined ceiling above them

A couple at the water's edge at dusk, the sky still orange behind the treeline

The groom lifting his bride at the water's edge, her veil caught by the wind

The hall set for dinner: round tables in white linen with low florals, timber posts and a beam, string lights overhead and tall windows along the far wall

A kiss beneath the bride's veil, the lace dotted with light

The deck in winter, railing and chairs under snow, the frozen lake below

A guest signing the book by the window, a basket of favours beside her

A couple sitting close in a small yellow rowboat, alone on the dark, still water of the lake

The couple after the ceremony, petals still on the grass

A bride looking up at her groom, smiling, her veil falling behind her on the lawn above the lake

The bride in an oval mirror in the bridal suite, a bridesmaid adjusting her veil

The water's edge in high summer, long grass in the foreground and the pale valley bank behind

The wedding party cheering on the lawn above the lake, bouquets raised

A single pink rose in a jar on the head table, window light behind it

The valley in winter, the frozen lake, the spruce, and the family house up on the far slope

A rowboat on the lake seen through reeds and wildflowers

A bride in a long veil with the groom and the wedding party standing on the lawn, the lake behind them

The wedding party gathered on the lodge deck, the lawn falling away in front of them

Pink, peach and violet florals on the arbour, white drapery falling beside it

A kiss in the rowboat, a bouquet of pink and peach roses in her lap

The head table against the wood feature wall, the couple laughing with their wedding party

An indoor ceremony set in the hall, a floral arch and white chairs by the windows

A couple kissing on the lawn in front of the lodge, rows of white chairs set behind them

A single spruce at the top of the slope, the lake and the valley beyond it

A kiss under the flowered arch, the wedding party and bridesmaids in blue looking on

A three-tier cake with fresh florals beside a naked cake and stacked plates on the dessert table

A bride's veil lifted over the bow of a boat, blue sky behind

A ceremony under way on the lawn, the aisle running to the arbour and the lake

The groom dipping the bride in the hall, wood wall and guests behind them

The lake at last light, mist standing on the surface and the treeline doubled beneath it

A ceremony at the arbour by the water, guests on wooden benches either side of a petal-strewn aisle

A table number carved in stone among peach and white florals

The property from the air, the lake along the valley floor, the river winding beyond it

The bride, eyes closed, held against her groom, a bouquet of peach and pink roses at his shoulder

The hall set for dinner by day: round tables in white linen with blush napkins and gold chargers, timber posts, string lights and windows down both sides

Rows of white chairs set on the grass at the water's edge, the lake beyond

A groom holding his bride from behind on the dock, her hands over his, the lake and reeds beyond

A groom dipping his bride on the hall floor, the head table and guests behind them

Vows at the flowered arbour, a flower girl at the bride's side and the lake behind

A bride alone on the dock with her bouquet, green water and floating blossom behind her

Candle lanterns and greenery along the head table at night

A kiss beneath the timber arch in the hall, the bride's veil trailing across the floor

A wooden box lettered 'cards' on lace, trailing greenery beside it

A bride and groom holding each other on the shore, the lake bright behind them

The groom dipping his bride in the aisle, guests laughing and cheering on both sides

The first dance, the couple smiling at each other as guests look on

A couple dipping into a kiss on the road at sunset, the sky orange over the hill

Bridesmaids in blush with their bouquets at the water's edge

A table arrangement in the hall, garden roses, ranunculus and olive

A couple at the flowered arbour beside the lake, an older woman seated in a wheelchair beside them

A couple on the dock after sunset, her head on his shoulder, the lake quiet behind them

The couple's recessional down the petal aisle, the groom dipping the bride in front of the guests

The head table set against the wood feature wall, white linen, tapers, parquet floor in front

The couple walking back up the aisle through thrown petals, guests cheering from the benches

A black and white frame of a couple on the dock, the groom lifting his bride in a kiss

A ceremony in the hall, guests in white chairs down both sides of the aisle, the arch at the far end

A low wreath of peach and blush roses around three candles on a white-clothed round table

The couple sawing a log together after the ceremony, a tradition their guests watch from the lawn

The lake at dawn, mist on the water and the sky turning pink

A couple hidden beneath a veil on the hillside, the lake behind

A couple at the head table in front of the wood feature wall, smiling at one another over spring flowers

The working lake, a boat drawing a wake the length of the valley floor

A couple embracing at the top of the slope, a cathedral veil spread behind them

A groom leading his bride across the lawn by the water, her long veil lifting behind them

The groom carrying his bride across the lawn beneath an old tree

A couple in a boat on the lake, the bride's veil lifted by the wind

A bride in a robe laughing in the suite, a ring of round mirrors above the make-up counter

The hall on the slope above the water, seen across the lake through spruce

The groom laughing as his bride speaks her vows

A guest table from above, gold chargers, white roses, low afternoon light across the linen

The pond in early autumn, a small island of trees and the hill beyond

The ceremony from among the guests, the arbour and the lake beyond

Two bridesmaids fastening a bride's dress in the suite, gowns hanging on the wall behind

The view from the deck rail, mown lawn falling to the lake and the valley curving away west

A bride laughing outdoors, her hair pinned up, a pendant at her collarbone

The hall among the spruce above the water, a gathering on the terrace in front of it

Autumn light on the trees along the shore, the water below glowing gold

A couple embracing in a golden field at sunset, the sun flaring behind them and her veil spread on the grass

A stone table number reading One among peach roses, white blooms and eucalyptus, a pink napkin beside it

The sky ablaze at dusk, clouds the colour of embers doubled whole in the still lake

A groom touching his bride's face on a snowy deck, evergreens behind them

A couple leaning in close at the head table, foreheads together, gold-rimmed plates in front of them

An old dock in autumn, a boat tied at the end and purple loosestrife in the reeds

A kiss on the hillside above the lake, the bride's long veil trailing across the grass

A blush napkin knotted on a woven charger, florals soft behind it

A sunset of orange and violet cloud reflected whole in the lake, the treeline dark beneath it

A couple laughing under a veil, a small dog tucked between them

A centrepiece with a stone table number, white chairs and a bright window behind it

A kiss under the trees, her long veil falling down her back

A couple pressed forehead to forehead in the boat, her veil lifting around them over green water

A round table set with white linen, peach napkins and a low floral centrepiece

A couple a breath apart beneath the bride's veil, the sky pale behind the lace

A bride and groom laughing together under her veil in the boat, the lake behind

Peach and pink roses on a timber arch with white drapery, the water behind

A table seen from above: gold chargers, white roses, candles and soft linen

A bride and groom running hand in hand through a wheat field at sunset, her veil trailing behind

The first dance in the hall, guests watching from the round tables under the timber beams

A round table set for dinner, a ring of peach and white florals at its centre and more tables beyond

A kiss in the back of the boat, her veil fanned across his shoulder, blue water all around

The couple and their wedding party at the timber arch in the hall, white drapery behind them and string lights overhead

A couple at night, a bottle of champagne sprayed into the dark air between them

A couple standing at the end of the dock, small in the distance, the lake and reeds in the foreground

A groom and bride walking toward the lodge on the lawn, her long veil trailing behind

A first dance in the hall, the couple turning under the timber beam while guests watch from their tables

A bride leaning on the dock railing above the water, her bouquet beside her

A black and white frame of the wedding party walking together across the field

A table set with woven chargers, blush napkins, stemmed glasses and a stone table number in a nest of florals

Mist on the lake at first light, seen from the deck, a ski boat idling on the still water

The hall from the lawn in evening light, the ceremony benches set in rows on the grass below it

The sun breaking through mist over the lake at dawn, the arbour and the lawn below
