Isha and Sam are married! You may remember these two beauties from our kick-ass engagement sessions at The Shore Club and Restaurant 18 earlier this year. I became quick friends with these two but regret that I was only able to get to know them for a short time before they relocated to Alberta. Despite being a regular for lunch, this was my first time shooting at wedding at Sidedoor Restaurant in the Byward Market. Great people and great food make for a great wedding!

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.

I have been looking forward to photographing Carita and Tim’s wedding since I first met them; they are a great couple who are fun to be around and easy to laugh with. They were referred to me by friends/clients Kelly and Tomas and I am very glad that I was able to document their wedding day. The bride ‘iced’ the groom. If you don’t know what that means, check it out on You Tube. She had it taped to her leg for the garter toss – it was awesome! I also learned what it means to be ‘buffaloed’. If you are caught drinking with your right hand you have to chug your drink and if you chug your drink with your right hand you have to chug the next one too. The moral of the story is always drink with your left hand, so you can greet someone like a man or throw a punch. Needless to say, people had a good time.

Between all the laughter and tears, the cute Finnish accents and the crazy-ass drinking games it was definitely a party to remember!
