featured: Ottawa Wedding Magazine

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.

Amy + Joël . married!

Who knew there were so many Beatles songs with the word ‘love’ in it? Of course, Joel’s father, a music teacher at my high school during my (and Joel’s, and Amy’s) time there would know.

Amy and Joël were married on a beautiful late fall day at the end of October. I started the day with the girls at Amy’s parents’ place, then off to Notre Dame Basilica for a beautiful ceremony. Amy and Joël decided to get photos done at the Museum of Nature, and then, since the weather held up (though it was a bit chilly!), we went off to the Rideau Falls Park to catch the view and some fall colours as the sun was going down. Afterward it was off to the Delta City Centre for dinner, dance, some serenading, and the most confusing (and entertaining) competition for centerpieces ever!

Here are a few faves from the day, a few more on my facebook page, and their winter engagement shoot here in case you missed it. Thanks for a great day Amy and Joël, and congratulations again!

Michaela + Joe . engaged!

Michaela and Joe wanted to go to two locations for their engagement shoot. Now — I always encourage couples to pick a place that means something to them, so I don’t know why I thought it was an unusual place to do part of a shoot. It turned out to be a good bit of fun watching them pore through the vinyl collection, and picking out a few of their favourites. Both being music lovers, they told me they spend quite a bit of time together exploring for good music — and playing too! After CD Warehouse, we spent the rest of the shoot in Vincent Massey Park, where I was fortunate to be an audience of one as they played songs for each other against the backdrop of the fall colours.

Thanks for a great shoot guys, and for the great impromptu performance:)

Annie + Bernard . married!

Annie and Bernard were married on a beautiful (but a little chilly!) early fall day. I met up with the guys first at the Auberge Montebello, and then to the Chateau Montebello to spend some time with Annie and the girls. The ceremony – touching, and funny at times – was at Notre Dame de Bonsecours. We came back to the Chateau for picture time, and then off to the Chateau Montebello Club de Golf for an outstanding dinner, drinks, and dancing.

Here are a few faves from the day, and handful more on my facebook page, and their engagement shoot here in case you missed it. Thanks for a great day guys, and congrats again!
