This past weekend, Amanda and Brandon held their Dr. Who themed wedding at Saunders Farm in Munster near Ottawa. It was a hot day, but there was plenty of Pepsi and Dr. Pepper around to help their guests stay cool (the couples origin story involves soda). The sci-fi enthusiasts had a glowing Dr. Who Tardis on each table, used the sword Sting from Lord of the Rings to cut their cake, and a late night Star Wars light sabre battle. They also the wedding vendor dream-team working for them as well: the venue was Saunders Farm, planning by Live Love Plan, cinema by First Kiss Films, ceremony by Exceptional Ceremonies, flowers by Full Bloom, hair by Mint Hair Studio, make-up by One Fine Beauty, music by PM Event Services, and a dress from With Love Bridal. I have never worked with a more exceptional collection of professionals at any of my previous 100+ weddings and I hope that we all work together again soon! Congratulations Amanda and Brandon!

Finally. My good friends Lisa and Darren are married! This was a wedding that I have been looking forward to for a long time and it certainly did not disappoint. We laughed, we cried, we got rained on (some more than others), and we loved every minute of it. Lisa looked amazing in one of the nicest wedding dresses I have ever seen, Darren didn’t loose his wallet, and their daughter Ella was as endearing as ever,  so it was a pretty good day all around.

This was also the first time I had photographed a wedding at Le Belvedere in Wakfield, Quebec and it quickly became one of my favorite venues. I would also like to add that the French Toast at the Wakefield Mill Inn & Spa was pretty damned tasty.

Leave a comment and let me know how you really feel!

I had an awesome time shooting Joanie and Andre’s wedding at Billings Estate Museum and Bate Hall this past weekend in Ottawa. I met the pair a few years ago while shooting some of their friends wedding around Kitchener-Waterloo and have been looking forward to their wedding ever since. They blew everyone’s mind with their custom doughnut tree featuring maple-bacon doughnuts from Suzy Q’s – amazing! #donuttree

Check out some of their friends weddings that I have photographed: Lindsay + Justin at Federation Hall and Nicole and Jesse at the Waterloo Children’s Museum.

Cheers, Blair

I got off a few frames in the nice light before the sun found a huge cloud to hide behind for the rest of my engagement session with Kristen and Cory at Hartwells Locks on the Rideau Canal. But, when you have flat light, you work with what you have left; and sometimes you make a bit of your own nice light.

I had a great time photographing Justine and Jason’s wedding this weekend at the Britannia Yacht Club. Despite the soggy weather, we managed to find enough windows of opportunity to make some great pictures outside; we had to get a little creative when the rain came down, but everything worked out just fine.
