I am lucky enough to have placed third overall in the Professional Wedding Photographers of Canada’s summer contest. The PWPC is a national organization that unites qualified wedding photographers from across Canada with brides and grooms searching for the right shooter for their wedding day. Here are the goods:

Bride & Groom Portrait: 2nd Place  – Lily and JF in downtown Ottawa.

Bride & Groom Portrait: 9th Place – Aimee and Jason get some alone time at Saunders Farm.

Humour: 7th Place – Aimee’s father is going to make sure this wedding happens, one way or another.

I had a great time photographing Megan and Travis’ wedding in Ottawa earlier this month. Everyone spent the morning getting ready at the Ottawa Westin, the ceremony was held at the very impressive St. Patrick’s Basilica and the dinner and reception was at the Sergeant and Warrant Officers Mess. Megan and Travis even surprised their guests with a photo booth (images to come!) and a hilarious first dance montage (video to come!).

Lily and JF were married last month at one of my favorite locations, Restaurant 18 in the Byward Market. Not only is the venue beautiful and contemporary, but they have some of the best food in the city. The fact that they performed a choreographed spoof-first dance and grooms signature cocktail was an old fashioned was just icing on the cupcake.

Michelinne and Darren grabbed some colonnade pizza, champaign, before we hit the beach for their sunset engagement portrait shoot on Petrie Island in Ottawa. I was the only one drinking from the bottle and rolling in the sand.
