Wedding of Jessica and Allan at the Arlington Woods Free Methodist Church and Infinity Conference Centre in Ottawa was a great blend of traditional and modern. Kind of like a sweet mullet, business in the front, party in the back.
Victoria and Bryan were married outside on an overcast day in May 2018 at Stonefields, but the rain stopped just before the ceremony and the clouds parted just as Victoria walked down the aisle – talk about magical! They had a simple, intimate garden wedding with nature, greenery, and just a hint of pink setting the theme of the day.
Deluca Hair styled all of the girls’ hair on wedding day and brought along champagne and snacks for a morning treat!
The outdoor ceremony at Stonefields Estate helped bring Victoria and Bryan’s dream wedding to life.
Victoria’s dress, from With Love Bridal Boutique, was the first dress she tried on! “I felt like myself. I knew it was the right one immediately,” she said.

I figured, if anyone would let me experiment on their newborn, Michelinne and Darren would. They are first-time parents to Ada and I am a first-time family photographer.
I’m testing out this idea where I hang out with your family for a few hours and just shoot you living together – playing, struggling, making a mess, watching TV, whatever – just normal family stuff. It doesn’t matter to me if you are laughing together or yelling at each other, playing video games, or running through the sprinkler. I don’t want to shoot a fake-perfect family day, I just want to document normal-ass families being normal-ass families. If you hired me to shoot your wedding, I think you know what I’m talking about.
Congratulations Michelinne and Darren – good luck Ada!
