Here is a look at a wedding we photographed at The Fairmont Chateau Laurier in Ottawa. Congratulations to Stephanie and James!
Welcome to all brides that need inspiration and ideas for their wedding day. Stephanie and Jad’s wedding was unforgettable! From the stationary to the individually hand wrapped sweets, from the custom made dress from Cyprus to the Calvin Klein’s Tuxedo’s, from the Badgley Mischka shoes to the decoration and flowers….everything right down to the littlest details was top shelf! Stephanie and Jad are amazing together. Their chemistry will light up a room. Not only are they gorgeous, smart and have great personalities…they are very generous and kind to everyone in their entourage.
The wedding day started at both parents’s homes in the morning. We photographed Jad and his family first then went to the bride’s home. Stephanie got ready with her brides maids while we took care of photographing everything around them. The house was full of families and friends and the entertainment was by the Ottawa Zaffeh group. We then made our way to the St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral to witness them say the big “I DO”. Everything after this moment was photo heaven:) We went downtown Ottawa for the bridal party and couple’s photos and had so much fun creating artistic photographs for Stephanie and Jad. They are so photogenic, the camera loves them…and Stephanie knows how to stare into that lens helping us capture her true beauty.
We returned to the St-Elias Banquet Center in Ottawa for the cocktails and diner followed by a night filled with dancing, love and laughter . We hope you enjoy our wedding day highlight. Congratulations again to the couple!

Sarah and Matt tied the knot on a beautiful summer day. The venue was amazing. For a short time, the Carleton University in Ottawa accepted to do weddings and Sarah and Matt were fortunate to be amongst the very few that got the chance to use this new conference center in Ottawa. Sarah looked radiant, beautiful and elegant in her McCaffrey designer dress and Matt, so handsome. The wedding ceremony was on the Carleton University terrace overlooking the park and river. It was a beautiful setting. To make it even better, Keith Langille, from exceptional ceremonies preformed the ceremony and made it original, unique, and added just the right amount of humor to keep the guests and family totally connected from beginning to end!
The family , wedding party and couple photos were done on the terrace and Carleton University grounds. Here are some highlights of the wedding day.
Congratulations again Sarah and Matt. You are perfect for each other. We wish you the best!
Fitness Photography is getting more and more popular these days. We are fortunate to photograph many new upcoming personal trainers. We help them build their portfolio and produce images they can use to promote the business. Here are some examples of a fitness portrait photo shoot in our Cumberland Ottawa Studio.
Christina and Alex are happy in love!! We photographed them at our outdoor studio in Cumberland ( Ottawa) Ontario a month before their wedding. Engagement photos are great for both the photographer and the couple, it’s kind of like a test run for the wedding day. We had so much fun walking around our property and taking beautiful images of Christina and Alex in a relaxed environment. We will post images of their August wedding soon!!!

Kim and Justin met in 2002 while they were both still attending high school. Justin was in grade 12 and Kim was in grade 10. Although they both went to the same high school (St. Matthews), they did not know each other before they started dating. They met each other for the first time when Kim was invited to go to Justin`s house with a mutual friend. That night Justin asked Kim for her number and they quickly began dating. Justin officially asked Kim if she wanted to “make things official” on October 9th, 2002 and they have been together ever since!!!
The wedding day started at the groom’s house in Ottawa. Then, we made our way to the Arc Hotel where we photographed Kim and the girls getting ready (she had the cutest flower girls ever) The rest of the wedding day was at Stanley’s Olde Maple farm in Edwards, Ontario. The venue is great for photos, the staff is very helpful and the weather was blazing hot- actually, it was the warmest day we’ve had so far all summer. On another note, Earl from Stanley’s Olde Maple farm went above and beyond for the couple as Kim wanted a photo with her favorite tree, the weeping willow. Since Earl did not have one on his property, he drove around Edwards to find one for Kim. That is great service! Kim and Justin, you are perfect for each other!!! During the whole day you both were so happy, relaxed and spontaneous that photographing you was such a pleasure… Here are some highlights of your wedding day.

Le plus grand bonheur c’est d’être aimé……A titre de photographe de mariage, nous assistons à une des journées les plus importantes dans la vie d’un couple. C’est un privilège d’assister à cette union et de créer des images photographiques qui aideront à faire revivre chaque instant de cette journée mémorable. Sara-Michèle et Martin sont un couple exceptionnel, parfait l’un pour l’autre et tellement heureux ensemble que leur bonheur est contagieux… Lorsqu’on on admire leurs photos de mariage, on a un sourire constant tellement ils dégagent leur amour. De plus, il sont beaux comme des top modèles!!!
Leur journée de noces a commencé avec les photos du marié et de la mariée au Château Cartier à Aylmer. La cérémonie et réception se sont déroulées au Club de Golf de Gatineau. Ce terrain de golf offre un arrière plan superbe pour des cérémonies à l’extérieur. De plus, le dévouement des employés du Club de Golf de Gatineau envers le couple et leurs invités etaient exceptionnel. La coordonnatrice de l’événement était dévouée et reconnaissait l’importance des photos de mariages. Elles nous a recommandé des endroits pour photographier les familles et le cortège, et, nous a ,par la suite, guidé en voiturette de golf à la recherche d’endroits pour des photos de couple.
Voici des extraits photographiques de leur mariage!
