Justine + Jesse . engaged!

I met up with Justine and Jesse as the last remnants of winter hung on to the city. We met up by Dow’s Lake on a day when it had been warm enough for the ice to have melted, but not enough for there to be actual water. I thought it might be cool to get out in the middle of the snow-covered lake, but thought it might not be worth the risk. We discovered though, that it was perfectly safe for small, ambitious dogs!

We walked around the Arboretum for a good part of the afternoon, and then off to Preston St. to reconnect a bit with the time they spent in Italy. Thanks for a great afternoon guys! A few faves here, and a handful more on my facebook page.

Emily + Matt . engaged!

Winter seemed a bit short this year didn’t it? It doesn’t seem like that long that I met up with Emily and Matt on the Rideau Canal for their engagement shoot. After a short skate downtown, we went for a walk beside the canal, stopped off for a beavertail, and strolled through Confederation Park to take in a bit of winterlude.

Thanks for a great shoot guys! A few faves here, and some more on my facebook page.

Michaela + Joe . married!

“This is soooo crazy!”

It might’ve taken a while for it to all sink in with Michaela. I don’t know if it started when she was about to get in her dress, or when the girls were getting ready to leave, or even when she and Joe exchanged vows in the church packed with close friends and family, but everyone knew that even after the ceremony, Michaela still couldn’t believe it!

I closed out 2011 with Michaela and Joe on a beautiful winter night. I started at Michaela’s parents’ place where she was having the finishing touches put on her makeup, and into the dress, and then off to St. Monica’s to a full house. Afterward we set off to the Museum of Nature, where the music started as soon as Joe and Michaela walked in, and I’m guessing, didn’t stop until well into the next day!

Here are a few faves from the day, a handful more on my facebook page, and their engagement session here in case you missed it. Congrats again Michaela and Joe!

As 2011 came to a close, I got word from Cristie Vito over at Stellar Events that one of our weddings is featured in this season’s Ottawa Wedding Magazine! Pierina and Tim‘s wedding in spring/summer 2010 was featured in their real weddings section.

I picked up my copy at Chapters, or you can check it out online right here!

Sabrina + Sébastien . engaged!

I met up with Sabrina and Sébastien on a beautiful day at the Aylmer Marina. It was a clear, sunny (and a bit windy…) day and took advantage of all that beautiful sunset light as we walked around the Marina. We stopped off on the small beach for a ‘family’ portrait, and then off to the Byward Market to spend a bit of time in the courtyards where they first met.

Thanks for a fun shoot guys, here are a few faves from the day, and a handful more on my facebook page.
