Website + Blog - Ottawa Wedding Photographers

Finally! I have been meaning for a couple of years to decommission my flash website in favor of a blogsite (blog +website) that was easy to view on ipad, iphones and other mobile devices.  The new website has wedding photos from my most recent weddings in Ottawa. There is still more lovely weddings and info to come. So as I decommission the old site and my old blog, this will be one of the last posts on this trusty blog...


I invite you to view the new site and I would love to hear what you think of the new look and layout...


Thanks for visiting the new site and blog!

Wedding at the Courtyard - Historic Byward Market - Ottawa Wedding Photographers

Leanne and Eric have a sweet and quiet love between them - you can just see that they truly cherish each other.  They were married on a Thursday which was a first for me - but in retrospect- why not?! 


The ceremony and reception took place at the Courtyard Restaurant with planner Shannon Kennedy. Leanne's dress was by Olivia Couture -a line recently picked up by the famous Klienfelds Bridal - and it was truly stunning. The lovely florals were designed by Bloomfields and were beautifully composed with varied textures and unique features - and I fell in love with the blue french hydrangeas in the bridal bouquet. Friends came from as near as home and as far as California and Vancouver...who says you can't get people out for a Thursday wedding eh? 


Leanne and Eric are surrounded by loving and proud families and steadfast and true friends that will carry them into their new life together. Congratulations to you both- it was an honor to be a part of your beautiful day. Thank you!

Wedding at Eighteen Restaurant-Byward Market - Ottawa Wedding Photographer

Jennifer and Jason found me through their Toronto-based wedding planner and our first meeting took place over the phone, where Jennifer was completing her medical residency in Winnipeg while Jason was completing a fellowship in Texas. It wasn't until a few months later that Jennifer and I would get a chance to meet in person to go through the details of their wedding day at Eighteen where we really hit it off. I felt like I had known Jennifer for years not moments. Her quiet strength, warmth and easy laugh made connecting effortless - and when she told me she wanted to have a glamourous, elegant feel to her wedding - I knew we were a match- 'cause romantic, beautiful and classic are what I do best...and Jennifer brought the glamour without question. I would only learn at the wedding that her soon to be loving husband was formerly known as "Mister Creepy Stares" from Frosh week - obviously Jason was smitten, but it would take quite a while for Jennifer to get close enough to "Creepy" to learn he was going to hold her hand into the future. 


I first met Jason a couple of weeks before the wedding for our engagement shoot. We had a fabulous engagement session that was cut short by an abrupt storm that blew my skirt near over my head! I'm talking sudden! Well we were bonded at that point- no secrets there! We sat over a few drinks at The Sidedoor, where I got to know Jason better - I was in intant fan. Jason, it just so happened, used to run a beer tasting website- I just happen to love microbrews and beers from around the world, so we had something fun to chat about. What impressed me most about these two very talented doctors -other than their truly amazing accomplishments - was the depth of their great love for each other - in spite of the trying past few years of residencies, exams and distance - they had finally arrived at the point in their lives where they could take a deep breath, say they "Dog Days are Over" and begin their lives together - in the same city (of Winnipeg) and take in their great new lives ahead.


It has been an honour guys-thank you...this is for you...

Highlight-Wedding at the National Art Gallery in Ottawa

Jennifer and Pierre has an amazing destination wedding in New York City at the Gramercy Park Hotel surrounded by their closest friends and family and then a couple days later they hosted a beautiful reception for all their friends and family here in Ottawa at the National Art Gallery. I was able to prepare a day-of slideshow for everyone to see so that all could share in the experience of the New York wedding. It was a real treat for me to see the reactions of both Jennifer and Pierre as they watched their wedding day unfold with their guests. 


Here is a highlight from their reception evening...still glowing from their wedding day...

Congratulations J & P!
