Tom and Zaneta were such a pleasure to work with this Saturday. Truth be told, this was one of our favorite weddings to shoot–they are so obviously in love and they were so much fun! They had a very intimate ceremony at Ottawa City Hall this Saturday that they put together in only 3 days! To emphasize that point, they are the only couple we have ever booked via telephone consultation. I was a little nervous about shooting their wedding without having met them first, but we got on famously! Zaneta was absolutely gorgeous in her off beat turquoise dress, which set her blue eyes off beautifully. Tom looked relaxed enough in his red Campers, but joked a little about wearing running shoes to make a quick escape if he changed his mind. They will be having a second ceremony in their native Poland to celebrate with all of their friends and family next spring. For the time being, here is a peek at their Canadian wedding!

At first Tom was joking about running away, he did wear his running shoes afterall!



After the nerves wore down (with a little bit of encouragement from Zaneta!), Tom came to his senses!













We want to wish Tom and Zaneta all the best for happy life together!

Rarely does a photographer find a bride who is so in tune with a concept for a photo shoot that she actually says “I could…” and volunteer to do something amazing for a shot before I get the chance to ask. Tammy and Jay were married last December in Cuba, and got in contact with us a few months ago regarding a Trash the Dress session. They live in a picturesque little village on the outskirts of Ottawa, and they have an incredible view of the water right from their house!
Ivy and I had the pleasure of spending the morning with them on their boat today, almost having too much fun to consider it work. The water was warm, the wind was cool, and the photos are incredible!

This past Sunday, Eden and David tied the knot at Orchardview, located in the south end of Ottawa in the beautiful village of Manotick. They had a gorgeous day for their wedding; the sun even cooperated, which has been rare around here lately!  Their ceremony truly celebrated their love and committment to each other and their darling daughter Emily.  She even had a stunning little red dress to match mommy’s!  I actually went to high school with Eden and all of her lovely bridesmaids, and even worked with them on occasion.  After high school, however, with moving, and college, and new careers, we lost contact with each other. That was until Eden stumbled across my ad on Facebook! I am so glad Ivanette and I were able to share in their day and capture the memories of their truly unique ceremony.

Here is a sneak peek at their wedding:

Recently we shot a great couple Karen and Duncan’s engagement photos. We will be capturing their wedding this September in the west end of Ottawa and are looking forward to it! We are so glad they chose us as their photographers!

Here is a preview!

 Karen and Duncan love fishing and came up with the great idea of having the “catch of the day”! We loved the idea!
