Photo booths on a wedding day are a blast! I bring the gear, you bring the props, and magic is made. It is a great way to capture portraits of the majority of your guests in a small amount of time – even the wall flowers will make their ways into the photo booth eventually! Most of the time once the lights go on bedlam ensues, but classic red carpet-style portraits are also great way to get beautiful photos of your family and friends.

Suzanne and Paul were very happy to be getting married this weekend. They hosted an intimate ceremony at the All Season’s chapel and delicious reception at The Orange Gallery, catered by Tulips and Maple. The weather couldn’t have been better; the preceding week of rain made all colours all the more vibrant once the clouds parted. Good times!

Congratulations Suzanne and Paul!

Samantha and Mark got ready with their best friends and family members at the Brookstreet Hotel and were married by Keith Langille from Exceptional Wedding Ceremonies at the Marshes Golf Club this past weekend. On top of being a very fun couple, they are also fantastic parents to their young children who were heavily photographed throughout the day. There were lots of unexpected moments throughout the day. Between Samantha’s beautiful wedding dress from Renewed With Love, their family breakdancing session, their son singing Uptown Funk on the dance floor, the groomsmen all wearing Nike Air Force 1’s, and the torrential downpour, this will certainly be a wedding that is not soon forgotten.

Congratulations Samantha and Mark!

Lindsay and Austin were married at the historic St. Brigid’s Arts Centre in Ottawa’s ByWard Market this past weekend.

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.
