This little cutie is what we now refer to as a “Covid baby”! Yes, he was born during the Covid19 pandemic when lock-downs didn’t allow families to come in with their newborn for baby sessions. By the time the restrictions eased, this little guy no longer fit in our newborn props. His big sister however, had to test our props and managed to squeeze herself in our newborn Moses basket. Although our focus was on him and family photos, this little beauty certainly stole the show! What else are big sisters there for ? đ

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 BelvĂŠdère 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 BelvÊdère in September 2020.
Megan got ready in the Garden House which is foot steps away from the BelvĂŠdère’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 BelvĂŠdère 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 BelvĂŠdère 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 BelvÊdère 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! đ

CARO & PHIL SAY I DO AT LE BELVĂDĂRE, WAKEFIELD, QUĂBEC
The day first started in Orleans at the bride’s parents home. What a moment it was when mom helped Caro put on her dressâŚand then, when dad walked in.. the emotions, the tears, the love this family shares is so incredible⌠there was not a dry eye in the room. Caro looked so amazing in her Winifred by Sottero and Midgley wedding gown. Her natural beauty is exceptional and when she laughs, she lights up the room!  After the bridal session, we made our way to Le BelvĂŠdère for the grooms photo session. Phil looked so handsome and the boys helped make the photo session a fun and relaxing experience! It was a gorgeous day , therefore, the ceremony was on the Cliffside! This ceremony site is so amazing! After the celebration, the family photos were taken with the amazing Gatineau Hills in the background and off we went to the Wakefield covered bridge for a little bit of variety.  We photographed the wedding party and couple on the bridge and came back to the Belvedere for more couple photos. The reception followed with great entertainment, food and service. You had to do power lifting or sit ups and pushups to get the couple to kiss!! The MC was hilarious and when the live band â Swayâ started to play, that got the party started. What an incredible night for an exceptional couple. Caro and Phil: Congratulations ! You are wonderful together, beautiful in every way .We are so happy for you!

Martine & Marc’s Wedding At Le BelvĂŠdère in Wakefield Quebec
So much preparation and effort goes out into planning weddings. It takes a year or more to plan everything… up to the little details that make each weddings unique. We are proud to be a part of this process and to help our couples get as much  information possible. Planning is the key!  We are here to help as this is not our first rodeo. Since 1982, our studio has photographed well over 1300 weddings! We put so much effort in what we do and continue to offer a wide range of printed albums, photos and wall size signature collection portraits!  Weddings are rewarding to photograph and give us an incredible feeling of creative satisfaction!(especially when the couples get to see the photos for the first time).
 Martine and Marc’s wedding is a perfect example of why we love our job! When we found out how Marc proposed, we knew we had to documents their love story. This beautiful, sweet, totally in love, adorable couple gave us “Carte Blanche” to create beautiful memorable images for them. They had 100% confidence in us and we took the time to get to know them, and find out what style of photography they loved.  They choose the amazing Le BelvĂŠdère in Wakefield as their wedding venue. The beautiful flowers and decorations were done by Wedecor.
 To Martine and Marc: Your vows were so beautiful and emotional, there was not a dry eye in the audience (including us, at one point, we were hiding our tears behind the camera). The photography session during the cocktails went so well. It was so easy to capture the love you have for one another. Your wedding party was awesome and we loved photographing your families. Fast forwarding to the reception, the speeches were memorable, heartfelt and hilarious!!! Who knew your childhood memories could be so entertaining! Your siblings did a fine job at painting us a clear picture! You are blessed because you are surrounded by families and friends that love you so much. Congratulations!  (P.S.: To the bridesmaid who had the same cell phone we did… sorry for accidentally taking it during the whole reception, LOL…We are so happy we realized it before we left!)
