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! 😉

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!

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!

M + D – OTTAWA ART GALLERY WEDDING – OAG

This was our first wedding at the new Ottawa Art Gallery and we must say we are IN LOVE!

If you are looking for a modern, sleek and minimalist space, look no further and book this venue!

The terrace is very spacious for your cocktail hour with a beautiful view and at night the wall lights up with opportunities to take nice artistic photos.

We started our day at Mike’s parents home and then made our way to Le Germain Hotel, conveniently located beside the OAG,

where Danielle got ready. The rooms at Le Germain are beautifully decorated with a modern contemporary style.

We then made our way to the Notre-Dame Cathedral for the ceremony. Afterwards we crossed the street and made our way to the National Art Gallery with the family and wedding

party. 2019 was a late blooming year for the crab apple trees so Danielle and Mike were lucky as the trees were in full bloom!

Congratulations Danielle and Mike, we were so honored you chose us to capture your special day!

AMANDA & NICHOLAS SAY I DO AT THE FAIRMONT CHATEAU LAURIER IN OTTAWA

We had previously photographed Amanda’s sisters wedding (view here), and she followed in her sister’s footsteps and decided to get married at The Fairmont Chateau Laurier.

Nicholas got ready in the newly renovated presidential suite while Amanda got ready in a parlor room.

Since the couple wanted to enjoy their cocktail hour with their guests, we decided to do a first look and get most of the couple and wedding party photos done beforehand. A lot of couples are skeptical about doing a first looks as it breaks tradition, however here are a few reasons why couples should consider it (for full article click on the link):

Get your tears out of the way before the ceremony

Enjoy a private moment before wedding frenzy commences

Get the most of your planned photos out of the way before the ceremony

Amanda and Nicholas said I Do in the Canadian room which was beautifully decorated by L’Orangerie Floral with a floral arch and candles.

The reception was held in the Adam Room, one of our favourite rooms, which is uniquely oval shaped.

The Chateau Laurier also accommodated Amanda’s dietary preference and created an all vegan menu for the couple and their guests.

Finally, the day couldn’t have gone more smoothly thanks to Stacey from The Design Co. , who worked her magic as always.

We loved this wedding so much we decided to make a feature wall in our studio, come book a consultation with us to view it!

CARO & PHIL SAY I DO AT LE BELVÉDÈRE, WAKEFIELD, QUÉBEC

The day first started in Orleans at the bride’s parents home. What a moment it was when mom helped Caro put on her dress…and 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 Belvédère 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 “ Sway” 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!

LUXURY WEDDING AT OTTAWA’S FAIRMONT CHATEAU LAURIER – MARTIN PHOTOGRAPHY

A luxurious wedding in every way . Veronique & Nicolas are high-school sweethearts. They planned their dream wedding together and it was nothing short of extraordinary. September 23rd had record breaking weather at 40’C with the humidex, but that did not stop Vero from looking ever so glamorous! Chic wedding planners were on point the entire day, every detail were carefully planned and executed to perfection. The day started with the boy’s photography session at the groom’s parents home in Orleans. The bridal photos were done at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in a newly renovated bridal suite that offered the perfect backdrop for the occasion. The ceremony was held at the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Ottawa. After the ceremony, the photos were taken around the Chateau Laurier.

The reception room was breathtaking. The couple got to enter the room before the guests so they could take a few moments to appreciate the beauty. During the reception, the speeches, entertainment, ambiance, food and service were top shelf. The couple’s families and friends were so loving and wonderful making this evening unforgettable. When the brides father played Despacito on the piano, the entire crowd made its way on the dance floor. Thank you to Vero and Nic for letting us witness and record this once in a lifetime union. Congratulations!

Mariage de Valérie + Cédrick – Casselman & Hilton Lac-Leamy Wedding

A great friendship grew since we first met Valerie and Cedrick for their wedding consultation. Valerie planned every single detail of her wedding day and she did an amazing job. Just to paint you a picture: Val would show up coffee in hand while we first talked about her wedding…and then, we all ended up talking about everything else!!!!! From the engagement session to the save the date photos, from the invitations design to the last minute details, from corporate business photos to wedding photos, our friendship grew and grew!!! She holds a very important place in our hearts and, a special chair in our office, LOL. Her determination and attention to details made this wedding day one to remember!

The ceremony was held at the “paroisse Ste-Euphémie” in Casselman. The family, wedding party and couple photos were taken at the National Gallery of Canada. The reception was held in the Mozart room at the Hilton Lac-Leamy.

Love was in the air! The weather was amazing, the decorations by Makin’it Lovely and the flowers by Flore & Sens were beautiful, the service and food at the Hilton was excellent, the wedding cakes by The Girl With The Most Cake were scrumptious, the entertainment was awesome ” especially Cedrick’s original song he wrote and sang to Val! This was a top shelf wedding!

Congratulations to Valerie and Cedrick!! Val, you are so beautiful, elegant and sweet! Your wedding dress by Madison James fit you so perfectly. Cedrick, you are handsome, and a charmer!! The song you sang to Val was the highlight of the evening! Your devotion and love for each other is infectious. Here are some highlights of your wedding photographed by Julie Robichaud & Guy Martin.

Jessica & Elias Say I Do At Le Belvedere – Wakefield Grand & Belvedere Guesthouse

We love LE BELVEDERE !!! Le Belvédère is situated on the edge of a cliff overlooking the spectacular Gatineau Hills just 30 minutes from Ottawa. We are so happy Jessica and Elias chose this wedding venue for their perfect day!

Elias got ready at the The Wakefield Grand. This venue owned by Le Belvedere is the perfect spot to photograph the boys getting ready. The outdoor pathway leading to the entrance and the curved brick walls are spectacular in photos! Jessica’s gorgeous gown was by Martina Liana for Essence of Australia. Jessica’s family and the girls got ready at Le Belvedere’s GUESTHOUSE. The first look was done just outside the Guesthouse and at the Wakefield Bridge.

The celebration and reception took place at Le Belvédère in Wakefield The ceremony was performed by Keith from Lynne and Keith’s Exceptional Ceremonies. They always puts just the right amount of humour and take the time to get to know the couple to make the vows extra special for them! After the cliffside ceremony, we were blessed with beautiful weather, delicious hors d’oeuvres and live music during the cocktail. After family and couple photos on site, we went in a field for additional photos with the couple and their wedding party. Wedecor did a fabulous job once again at decorating the reception hall and ceremony. The couple’s first dance was under the stars with a beautiful display of sparklers. Thank you to Le Belvedere for coordinating this wonderful moment.

To Jessica and Elias: You are amazing together. The sparks fly when you gaze into each others eyes. Elias, when you performed your song and dance for Jessica, it was like we were at a concert, it was awesome!!! You have so much talent. Jessica, you were stunning in your wedding dress. Your grace and beauty is beyond compare. It was a pleasure to get to know you and to be a part of your special day. We hope you can relive your wedding day each time you look at your photos!
