Club Roma Wedding in St. Catharines | Felicia & Anthony’s Joy-Filled Celebration

If you’re planning a Club Roma wedding in St. Catharines, Felicia and Anthony’s day is a perfect example of how fun, emotional, and beautifully paced a wedding at this venue can be.

From a relaxed morning at home to a sparkler-filled sendoff, their wedding had all the moments I love most as a wedding photographer, genuine emotion, playful energy, and a couple who fully leaned into the joy of the day.

Groom Getting Ready at Home

The day started with Anthony and his groomsmen getting ready at home, setting a laid-back and fun tone right from the beginning. One of my favourite moments of the morning was the guys literally pulling Anthony away from his computer, a perfectly “him” moment that had everyone laughing and instantly put him at ease.

These candid, unscripted moments are always some of the best parts of the story.

Bridal Prep at the Hotel with Bridesmaids

Meanwhile, Felicia got ready at a nearby hotel surrounded by her bridesmaids. The room was filled with excitement, laughter, and that quiet anticipation that builds as the dress goes on.

Soft light, emotional exchanges, and supportive friends made for a beautiful and relaxed getting-ready experience, exactly what you want on a wedding morning.

The ceremony took place on a bright, sunny day, with guests soaking in the warmth and energy of the moment. Felicia and Anthony exchanged vows surrounded by friends and family, and as soon as they were pronounced married, Anthony picked Felicia up and ran her down the aisle, to cheers and laughter from everyone watching.

It was spontaneous, joyful, and perfectly them.

After the ceremony, we leaned into their playful side for portraits. One of the highlights was taking advantage of a nearby playground, where Felicia and Anthony hopped on the swings and just had fun together.

These are the kinds of portraits that feel real, full of movement, laughter, and connection, and they’re often couples’ favourites years later.
