Victoria and Rayner’s spring time wedding at St. Patrick’s Basilica and the Yangtze Dinning Lounge in Ottawa May 2017. Photograph by Blair Gable | @blairgableweddings May The Force be with you.

Laura and Aaron didn’t want a typical set of engagement portraits, which is great, because that is something I try very hard not to do! The best engagement portraits for me are the ones that highlight something about the couple – something that gives relevance about their relationship to the pictures. They play a lot of ultimate frisbee and wanted to take photos that captured some iconic places in downtown Ottawa. Nothing says love like sweating it out while playing catch on the front lawn of Parliament Hill. After their frisbee-scrimmage, we ducked into the Chateau Laurier for a costume change before heading down past the Rideau canal locks to the Ottawa River to take in a beautiful sunset.

Last winter, I strapped on some skates with Victoria and Rayner for their Winterlude engagement session on the Rideau Canal. Skating with cameras, what could go wrong?

Robyn and Rob’s classic fall wedding at Andaz and Restaurant 18 in Ottawa’s Byward Market. Their wedding was highlighted by amazing views, fantastic venues, sparking champaign, oysters on the half shell, and lots of love!

Leanna and Danny’s early autumn wedding at Lago on Dow’s Lake was one that I was really happy to be able to photograph. I was almost too swamped to be able to take it on, but I am very glad that I did! Not only are they really great people to know, full of kindness and laughter, but they hosted a very heart felt wedding for their friends and family. There were lots of games during the dinner and reception to keep their guests laughing and at the end of the night, they launched paper boats carrying their wishes for the future into Dow’s Lake. If only I could have also gotten them into some paddle boats…
