I was lucky enough to pick up a few awards in the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers summer contest. Some of my favorite images from some of my favorite weddings were chosen, as well as one of my favorite engagement shots of the year. Enjoy!

I had a great time shooting Jacqueline and Andre’s wedding in Kingston last weekend – I have not had the opportunity to shoot in the area since 2008. Jacqui got ready with her girls at the beautiful Frontenac Club Inn, they were married at St. Francis of Assis catholic church, we took a trolley ride, shot their portraits up and down the shore line, and they partied to a live band at Queens University’s Ban Righ Hall. It was a great day (finally bellow 30 degrees!) and they were a great couple to work with!

Natalie and Kris were married a few days ago at The Herb Garden in Almonte, Ontario near Ottawa.

Allison and Derek were married under the blue sky at the Bean Town Ranch east of Ottawa earlier this month.

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.

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