E & D’s Ottawa Engagement Session

You may have noticed that we have two Instagram accounts. Although the purpose is not as important to us now, it did at the time when we created our accounts. We love a nicely curated Instagram account but we noticed that since our main Instagram account mostly consists of light and airy images, some of our darker images weren’t being shared! We essentially had a hard time mixing our darker images with our light and airy images. So we created two Instagram accounts to accentuate both styles; one designated to our light & pastel images and a second account for our darker images.

This engagement shoot is a perfect example of how we typically achieve both looks when we photograph our clients. Whether it comes to family sessions, engagement sessions, portrait sessions or weddings, we will typically explore both options. We love our bright, soft and airy-feel signature images, however, we equally love to take advantage of the dramatic lighting by exposing for the low lights.

We often feel an internal struggle to stick to one look and brand ourselves as “one style” but the reality is that we truly enjoy capturing both looks.

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!

Avery & Jasmin – Outdoor engagement Photography (Picnic Theme Photo Shoot)

Wow ! This is the one word I could find to describe this wonderful photo shoot with this wonderful couple. Guy and I are so happy to be photographing their destination wedding next year in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! The couple wanted to stay away from the “beach theme” for this photo shoot as there will be plenty of sand and ocean themed images in their wedding photos….After talking about options… they went for an outdoors’ theme to illustrate how they like to spend time together! They love the outdoors, picnic’s & camping weekends, so why not just tag along “with our cameras” and record ” a day in the life of Avery & Jasmin”! We started the photo shoot at our studio in Cumberland Ontario using natural light. We then did a few photos around the pond at our outdoor studio and made our way to Petrie Island in Orleans to finish the photo shoot. It was pure joy to photograph them. The love they share is so infectious.. it just makes you want to photograph them for hours…Jasmin can’t stop smiling when he looks at Avery  (she has that effect on everyone! ) Her beauty and bubbly, full of life personality  mixed with his handsome charm and amazing personality make this couple perfect for each other!  We really can’t wait to capture every moment of their special day!

Here is a sneak peek at a few of the images selected for their wedding signing book! Enjoy…
