Laine and Bryan hosted one hell of a lakeside wedding for their friends and family at Wilderness Tours west of Ottawa. The weather kept us on our toes, but between the rain showers and gusting wind we made it all come together.

I now also know how to whip and nae nae.

Meaghan and Nic spent the morning helping each other get ready in the Colonel By Suite at the Ottawa Westin and watching Jaws 2 before holding their intimate wedding ceremony against the downtown skyline. They were chauffeured from the Ottawa Westin to the National Arts Centre for portraits, then to Erlings Variety in the Glebe in a classic grey limo driven by a man named Pepe. Their wedding was classic, contemporary, and intimate all at the same time.

Congratulations Meaghan and Nic!

Ashley and Curtis were married beside a quiet pond and shared their first dance under a marquee sign declaring their love for one another at Saunders Farm in Munster, Ontario near Ottawa.

I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful wedding of Diana and Marc at St. Anthony’s church in Little Italy and the Visitation Banquet Centre in South Gloucester this past weekend. Her family is Russia, his is Italian, how much trouble could we possibly get in? When the table wine is paired with a bottle of vodka, you know it is going to be a good one. After their ceremony, we jumped into a mustang convertible and raced to Suzy Q Doughnuts for a quick fix before getting on with the rest of the day. This wedding was another beauty – Zazdarovje!

Diana’s dress was from Renewed With Love and her hair was by Lucas Nault, Essence Catering kept everyone fed, and In Touch Media got everyone on the dance floor before Suzy Q Doughnuts put them into a sugar coma. Congratulations Diana and Marc!

I loved photographing Whitney and Karam’s beautiful summer wedding at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. My favourite moments were the brides grandmother seeing Whitney in her wedding dress for the first time, the homeless dude chatting up the groomsmen, experiencing my first zaffe, the groom rapping Jay-Z and Kanye on the dance floor, and the late-night firework display. Their ceremony was held in the Canadian room and their reception in the beautifully-styled Renaissance-style ballroom. It was a friggin’ beauty.

The event planning was done by Chic Wedding Planners, the beautiful decor was supplied by Wedecor, the fantastic music was by In Touch Media, the flowers were done by Full Bloom, and ceremony officiating by Gord Marriage.
