Women in Business

Let’s celebrate and empower women in business! We had the opportunity to photograph this amazing soul and was so inspired by her courage, her tenacity, her energy and her creativity; oh, and we can not forget to mention her impeccable sense of style!

We first captured these images of Jessica Houle when she was at the earlier stage of innovating her new product : All In Order. She has created an innovative way for us to organize all our important documents; making it easy for loved ones to find our most important and treasured information when needed. Her product consists of a beautiful, slick black, Legacy Box which facilitates the daunting task of organizing our most significant documents such as will(s), property details, important contracts, etc..

Jessica Houle is not only the creator of All In Order, she is first and foremost a lawyer who specializes in helping individuals and small business owners to organize their affairs so they can focus on what they love and what fulfills them most. You can inquire about her high quality services by visiting her website at: JH Legal Services

If you are looking for a branding session, we’re here for you! We’d love to brainstorm and design a creative photo shoot which will serve as a extension of you, your service and/or your product.

Your Ottawa Photographers,

Guy & Joelle Martin

MEGAN & DON – Le Belvédère Wedding

Like many couples, Megan & Don’s wedding plans were impacted by Covid19 but postponing to next summer wasn’t an option! Their goal of being united was the priority and with it came their willingness to adjust their expectations.

They initially had their hearts set on a early summer wedding at the Belvedere in Wakefield, QC but they quickly realized that their wedding would require being slightly postponed to the early fall of 2020. Lucky for them, they managed to secure a back up date with the Belvédère in September 2020.

Megan got ready in the Garden House which is foot steps away from the Belvédère’s main wedding venue. This beautiful light and airy home features an abundant of natural light, along with makeup and hair stations, a fully equipped kitchen and a large cozy living room. Don opted to get ready in the main cottage on site, which is equally as beautiful and a pleasure to photograph. Another great thing about Le Belvédère is they are constantly updating their facilities and transforming them in to photo-friendly environments. To our surprise, the main cottage’s furniture had all been updated and everything looked great. The consistency in style and ambiance between their different facilities makes for a cohesive look throughout the wedding day. It is always a joy for us to capture our couple’s Belvédère weddings! We love challenging ourselves to discover new angles and photo opportunities, making sure we offer every couple a unique wedding day photography coverage.

Their ceremony was held outside, featuring the classic Le Belvédère view and amenities and the guests cried, cheered and smiled with joy as Megan and Don tied the knot. Social distancing was full effect, tears of joy were shed, words of wisdom and love were shared, masks were worn; a true 2020 pandemic wedding!

As we all adjust to the new “normal”, Megan and Don’s wedding is a perfect example that having a pandemic wedding doesn’t mean compromising on picture perfect! 😉

CHANIQUA & NAWAZ – DOMAINE PERRAULT WINERY ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Featuring this beautiful couple on our blog today as they were supposed to say I do at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier.

Covid-19 has greatly impacted our wedding season but we can’t wait to photograph their wedding in 2021.

Our heart goes out to all our 2020 couples, we will all get through this. ♡

 

Chaniqua is a Bachelor/Bachelorette fan and she fell in love with Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgin’s winery engagement session.

As Bachelor/Bachelorette fans ourselves we knew exactly what style she had in mind. Domaine Perrault is a beautiful winery location in Navan, just 15 minutes from Orleans or 30 minutes from downtown Ottawa.

Domaine Perrault Winery generously allowed us on their grounds so we could create and capture Chaniqua and Nawaz’s vision. This location offered so many different backgrounds for us to use.

 

To book your engagement session or if you’re recently engaged and want

to schedule a wedding consult give us a call at 613-833-3335.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

Courtney & Jason’s Fall engagement session

Today would of been Courtney and Jason’s wedding day at Stonefields.  Like many couples they’ve had to adjust their expectation and vision

and postpone their big day due to the pandemic. We know they will come out stronger and their love will shine even brighter a year from now.

Although we have to wait another year to photograph their special day, we couldn’t wait to show you their engagement session captured last fall at our estate studio in Cumberland.

If this is the look you envisioned for your engagement photos, we suggest a late afternoon for a fall session to take full advantage of that gorgeous golden hour.

To book your fall engagement session call us at 613-833-3335.

Eveline Christian Say I Do at Le Belvedere

Eveline and Chris said I do at Le Belvedere back in July.

They both got ready at the Belvedere’s own onsite accommodation, only a short walk from the ceremony and reception site.

The Guesthouse is perfect for those light and airy photos all brides dream of. This guesthouse has enough room to accommodate a large group, they were 16 people in their wedding party alone!

Before the ceremony, they decided to have an intimate  first look in the forest and reading their vows to each other. We absolutely loved this idea!

The beautiful bouquets and all floral arrangements are by Love In Bloom.

She got her breathtaking Blue by Enzoani dress from Adamyk Bridal in Ottawa.

We also got to work closely with Matt & Kat Films, who are amazing at what they do! Check out the video here.

If you want to see their engagement session we did at our studio in Cumberland click this link.

 

With the current Covid situation still on going, we offer virtual consultations. Give us a call at 613-833-3335 to set one up!

Along with your help we surpassed our initial goal of 1500$ and managed to raise 1910$ for the Ottawa Food Bank!

LEANNE + DUSTIN SAY I DO AT EVERMORE

Leanne and Dustin got married at Evermore at the end of September. The weather surprisingly worked in our favour on this day with gorgeous blue skies and a sunset to end the day.

Moments after thunder showers, the blue skies rolled in just in time for their outdoor ceremony.

They were the sweetest couple ever. Our favourite moment of the day was when they both unknowingly gifted each other with puppies as wedding gifts!

 

We loved every detail about this wedding, it was the perfect mix of rustic and elegance.

We must say they both have impeccable taste!  Leanne and Dustin’s vision beautifully came to life by Frid Events.

We are obsessed with her wedding gown by Calla Blanche and her hair and makeup by Seema Haider.

The talented Kimberley Dunn performed during the reception and the cake was by Girl With The Most Cake.

We also got to work with Matt & Kat who did their wedding video.

 

Leanne and Dustin, thank you for putting your trust in us to photograph your wedding day!
