Ok, I have 5 words to describe Holly and Andrew’s wedding. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous and gorgeous! Ok, I suppose that really only qualifies as one word, but honestly… it’s the only one I need. Bride - gorgeous. Groom - gorgeous. Holly’s dress - gorgeous. The bridal party - gorgeous. I think you can see where I’m going with this… Their ceremony took place at the very charming St-Bernard’s Church right here in Ottawa and then we moved on to the Ornamental Gardens for their formal photos. They braved some chilly, windy weather, and because of their willingness to stick it out we ended up with some really great stuff! After the couple’s photos we made our way to the Centurion Conference and Event Center for dinner and the reception (yep, you guessed it… gorgeous!).

But don’t take my word for it. Check it out for yourself:

Congratulations Holly & Andrew! Thank you so much for trusting Eric and I with your wedding photos! We had such a great time and loved working with both of you.

Jessie & Frank were married at the beautiful Arboretum at the Central Experimental Farm here in Ottawa. Everything about the event was stunning! The weather, the bride, the groom, the location… I seriously lucked out!

Now, I’ve been badly neglecting the blog, so I’m going to get right to the photos!

Congratulations on such a gorgeous wedding, Jessie & Frank! It was an honor to be a part of your big day!

Eric and I had the amazing opportunity to photograph Melanie & Brandon’s wedding at the gorgeous Lord Elgin Hotel in August.  I have to say, it was an absolute honor to be there and the location was absolutely phenomenal - one of my very favorites to date.

Now, I know the bride and groom are eagerly awaiting these, so I won’t ramble on.  On to the good part…

Now, how can you not love a bride who can enjoy a good lollipop while getting ready?

I love it when we can capture these stolen moments.

Their ceremony took place in the beautiful Lady Elgin Room.

And their beautiful reception took place in the Pearson Ballroom.

And the guys will know exactly what this one’s all about…

Congratulations Mel & Brandon! Thank you so much for having us there!

What can I say about Sara & Francis? I am truly thankful to have crossed paths with them this year as they are two of the nicest people one could ever meet. They were married at the Beautiful Bean Town Ranch in Wendover ( just east of Ottawa), and I was truly honored to be a part of their big day.   Thank you so much Sara & Francis for having me there!

We’re trying out a new format for our blog images - click on the thumbnails to see them full sized.

Ok, so check out these two awesome people. I had such a great time doing Shelley & Jody’s E-session this week. We made our way to one of my absolute favorite places to shoot here in Ottawa - the Experimental Farm. They were total troupers to put up with the humidity and we got some really great stuff.

Shelley - I know you said no butt shots after sitting on the ground, so I hope I don’t get a lashing for this one!

Jody wanted to make sure we checked out the bling!

I so love this one.

The incredibly talented Christine Melenhorst from Love Bunny Photography will be covering Shelley & Jody’s wedding for us on Saturday. I know the images will be amazing and I can’t wait to see them!

Thank you so much S & J for the fun session! Good luck on Saturday (though I’m sure you won’t need it!!)!
