A long drive to Stittsville very early in the morning brought Joelle and I to a beautiful home filled with love and warmth (and a wonderful family). Kurtis was getting ready on one side of the house, while his fiance Theressa was in the master suite. They could hear each other, but, could not see each other! Joelle and I had fun keeping them occupied with the photo session and working the different rooms hiding them from each other. Morning session done… we were on our way to the ceremony at the Courtyard restaurant for 10 AM. Lynne and Keith Langille from Exceptional Ceremonies were the officiants and they preformed a personalized beautiful ceremony as always! I love being a wedding photographer and having the privilege to be present on one of the most important days of their lives. Even after all the wedding I photograph, I still get caught up in the moment and, as the tears fill my eyes I am grateful I have automatic focus on my canon camera, ouffff!!!  We stayed around the By ward market and courtyard area for the photo session and had a blast. What a wonderful couple and you’ll see why we say Theressa has a “million dollar smile”.
