When you get to photograph a couples engagement session in an abandoned mine, you set your camera to epic. The ice was frozen thick, but you could see through it into the clear waters below, which was more than a little unnerving. Walking on clear ice was not nearly as anxiety inducing as the drive in-and-out down steep, snow packed lanes, but the adventure was more than worth the elevated heart rate. Congratulations Janie and Brad!

It can be a time of calm or chaos, but photographing the moments of preparation before the wedding ceremony or a first-look always makes for beautiful pictures. The getting ready process is about more than having your makeup done and putting on an amazing wedding dress, it is about being in a room with the most important people in the brides life – her best friends, mother, sisters, etc. Being there to photograph the moments between the moments is one of my favourite parts of the day. Please enjoy some of my favourite photos of brides getting ready from the last few years.

They can be ruined by heat, rain, or bugs, but outdoor wedding ceremonies are amazing! For wedding photographers they are a dream, because it means they don’t have to setup lights, or shoot under funky-coloured lights, and they can focus on the emotion of the ceremony. Outdoor wedding ceremonies are also usually celebrated by Officiants which can have fewer rules than ministers and prints; freeing up your photographer to be as creative as the environment allows. Please enjoy some of my favourite outdoor wedding ceremony photos from the last few years!

It was cold outside, but this New Years Eve wedding was worth every moment with frozen hands! Mimi and Ryan spent the morning getting ready together at the Hilton Lac Leamy and the evening getting married at the Courtyard Restaurant in the ByWard Market. It is always fantastic when you get to shoot a groom helping his bride into her wedding dress!
