As their first anniversary approached, I asked Megan and Matt (married on February 9, 2013 at Le Nordik Spa) to look back on their favorite wedding photos and share what makes them so meaningful. Thank you, M&M, for taking the time to share your kind words and happy anniversary!  – Blair


Selecting our favorite photos from our wedding day is a hard task, it seems as though each one is our favorite!. This first photo brings me back to how excited I was for the day…not only did I need one glass to celebrate, but two!

When I look the photo of our first look it brings back those feelings of butterflies in my stomach and how at that moment it sets in that it’s our wedding day.  Each time I look at this photo I am brought right back to that moment and feeling.

This is one of our favorite from the day.  We find the photo to be unique and unlike any other photo we had seen before.

The photo of my younger cousin in the church is too funny! We love looking through the photos that capture the guests during the ceremony.  These are reactions that we weren’t able to see at the time of, but are great to look back on.

The photo of my sister and maid of honor, Trista, holding an urn of our friend’s ashes while laughing makes me think of what Krista would say – “stop crying b*tches and enjoy the moment!”

One of my favorite parts of the day was my dance with my dad.  I have been a daddy’s girl since day one and these photos highlight how much fun those few minutes of the day were.

We asked a lot of our wedding guests, to travel and in the winter no less, to attend our wedding.  It was important to Matt and I to ensure they had a good time and that we make their travel worthwhile!  The next four photos are just a small sample of the great memories Blair was able to capture during our reception.  The dance floor photos are some of our favorite to look back on and reminisce on what a great time our guests had that evening.

 Lee and Eric special ordered the perfect snow for their wedding day. The temperature was perfect and the snow fell gently and consistently all day long. Even the Scotsmen in attendance seemed to enjoy the blanket of white stuff. The couple planned a fantastic wedding at the Strathmere Lodge with loads of personal touches and even a screeching-in ceremony! Their guests were encourage to kiss a frozen fish and take a shot of Newfie rum to become honorary Newfoundlanders. “Deed I is, me ol’ cock! And long may yer big jib draw!”

Congratulations Lee and Eric!

I had a great time photographing Megan and Matt’s wedding at Le Nordik Spa in Chelsea, Quebec this past weekend. I photographed Megan’s sisters wedding in August 2011 (Trista + Brad’s wedding), so they treated like family and I knew that I was in for a wild party.

Renate and Matthew were married at Temples Sugar Camp in Lanark County near Ottawa this past weekend. I am still coming down from my maple syrup induced sugar-high! Also, they served breakfast for dinner and it was awesome!

The last wedding I shot at the Chateau Cartier was a gong-show and to say that I was excited to shoot Meagan and Dan’s wedding at the same venue would be an understatement. Over the last few months we have been doing some crazy engagement sessions together (dodgeball, hockey night, lost in the woods) and we have become fast-friends. I photographed Dan’s sister’s wedding a few years ago and once I saw his moves on the dance floor I knew that their wedding would be a great time. Meagan to me at the end of the night, “Blair I have four words for you, ‘You’re missing the poutine!'”
