{Karen & Agostino} A winter wedding at St Patrick’s Basilica & Sala San Marco
Ivanette first met Karen at her first job upon arriving in Ontario from Cape Breton. Over the years they had lost contact, until they saw each other when we photographed Carol-Lynn and Kyle’s wedding back in 2009. We were happy to see them at the Ottawa Wedding show (a couple times!), and were thrilled when they decided to hire us as their wedding photographers! We had great weather, and it was pretty warm for mid November.

{Jennifer & Matt} A fall wedding at Strathmere
Jennifer and Matt are very unique and full of love for each other. You may remember them from when we burnt a sofa for their engagement session! I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding at Strathmere this fall, and they were just as playful and creative at their wedding! Jennifer’s brother was their MC and kept everybody entertained during dinner. When the dancing finally started, I finally saw where Jennifer got her energy and enthusiasm from, her grandmother, who’s in her mid 90′s got up and danced circles around half of the guests!

{Jennifer & Matt} A relaxed wedding in Pakenham
I had the pleasure of photographing Jennifer & Matt’s wedding this October in Pakenham. Jennifer, along with her brother are 7th generation farmers, as you may have guessed, family was an important part of their wedding. Jennifer & Matt’s house is within walking distance of her parents, and grandparents house just outside of Pakenham, where all 3 properties provided great backdrops for their photographs.

{Melissa & Keith} An Ottawa Valley wedding in Renfrew
I had the pleasure of photographing Melissa & Keith’s wedding this October in Renfrew. It was a little cold (6 degrees) and very windy, but nobody complained, we had sunshine! There’s something about small town churches that’s just amazing, the light, the intimacy, it’s like they have a personality of their own. St. Michael’s Catholic church in Douglas is no exception, being just around the corner from Melissa’s family farm. Their wedding was such a pleasure to photograph as both families are very relaxed, kind and generous.

{Jingjing & Nick} A relaxed wedding at Strathmere
We first met Jingjing and Nick at a wedding show this spring. In getting to know them, we quickly learnt that they are two truly genuine and honest people. Both were brought up with traditional Chinese values, and their wedding showed that. Family was number one for this wedding, and was very apparent throughout the day.
Jingjing and Nick chose to see each other before their wedding, which allowed us to capture their formal images earlier in the day, giving time for a break after their traditional tea ceremony to relax before their reception!
Hope you enjoy the preview as much as I enjoyed photographing their wedding:

{Stephanie & Frederic} A military wedding in downtown Ottawa
When Ivanette and I met with Stephanie, Freddie and their 3 wonderful children, we had the opportunity to spend some time with them and get to know the story of their 10 years together! After meeting at the Ottawa University frosh week, it was love at first sight. 10 years later, Stephanie and Freddie planned their wedding for the anniversary of their first chance meeting, and wanted to incorporate the University of Ottawa into their wedding. We had previously photographed their engagement session at the University. Since frosh week was on going, the chapel at Tabaret Hall was unavailable, so the University offed a great room overlooking the city at the top of the Desmarais building. The view was great, and the building’s name is also their family name. Frederic is an active member of our Canadian Military, and decided to wear his military dress, along with have his grooms men in full dress.

{Rachel & Eric} An intimate “elopement”
Photos by Brian
Blog post by Ivanette
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Rachel when I started working at a new job in January, and getting to know her has been one of the highlights of my time there so far. Over time, we got to talking about our lives outside the office, and she learned that Brian is a photographer, and I learned that she was set to marry the love of her life, Eric, this fall. The rest, they say, is history!
When you see Rachel and Eric together, it’s truly captivating…they laugh together constantly, and when they look at one another, are almost consumed by the other. The energy they have together is wonderous and infectious, and you really can’t help but be happy in their presence.
Their families are both in my beloved home province of Nova Scotia, but they decided they wanted a very simple, City Hall ceremony this past week with a few close friends. Rachel looked gorgeous, Eric looked handsome, and we hope you enjoy a glimpse into their special day.
