Brookstreet wedding | Dani + Joey

Danielle and Joey treated their family and friends to an emotional wedding ceremony at the Merrickville United Church and a great reception at the Brookstreet Hotel in Ottawa. The day was full of laughter, romance, stupid human tricks, and of course a great party. I photographed Danielle a few times in her aspiring modelling days and was very happy to get called in for their big day. I also photographed Joey’s aunt, Elizabeth Manley for the Globe and Mail, a few years ago, so I wasn’t a stranger to that side of the family either. It was a day I was excited to be a part of!

Chateau Laurier wedding | Whitney + Karam

chateau-laurier-wedding (7)

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.

Melissa + Mike | Engagement Portraits

Melissa, Mike, and I spent an evening chasing light at Hogs Back Falls a little while ago. When you’ve got warm, soft light like this you don’t need much else.
