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!
Vendors
Brides hair: Kristy from Top Knot

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!

Christina & Daniel – Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica of Ottawa Wedding
Christina and Daniel got married last September at the famous Ottawa Landmark Notre Dame Basilica. What a beautiful day. We can say it was perfect. When we got to the Bernado’s home for the groom’s coverage, we got a warm welcome from mom, dad , family and friends. The house was photo ready already!!! Mom was serving all the special appetizers and treats she had spent hours making and the boys were having a blast. We then made our way to the Timpson’s home for the bridal photos. Christina was beautiful in her Mori Lee wedding dress. The ambience in the house was amazing…All the family and friends were there to see her walk down the stairs…let’s just say the party had already started! The ceremony was held at the Notre dame Basilica and the family photos were done on the church grounds. We then took photos around the church, National Art Gallery, Chateau Laurier and the locks at the Rideau Canal ( A big thank you goes to the young man that took a polaroid snap of the couple and gave it to them as a souvenir, it made a great photo!!!) The bride, groom and wedding party were the best models!!! We had so much fun during the photo session, it was a blast! The reception was held at the Centurian Banquet Hall on Colonade Road in Ottawa. The evening was filled with love and laughter while the live music and the MC offered amazing entertainment….To top it off, Elvis even showed up to give a 30 minute show! Just when we were leaving, the buffet was served. I have never seen so much homemade goodies at a wedding before. Everything was so good! To Christina and Daniel: May your lives be filled with greatness, love, health and lot’s of babies!!! It was a great memorable wedding and a pleasure to be a part of it!

Randa & Ramsey – Wedding at the Hilton Lac Leamy
We had the pleasure and privilage of photographing the Rahal family since the 1990’s. Family and wedding photography is important to them and we are honored to have been there creating memories for them to cherish for the past two decades.
Last august, it was Randa and Ramsey’s turn in the spotlight….and the spotlight was shining bright that’s for sure. What an Ottawa wedding!!!! Modern yet traditional, fun and entertaining, sweet and special…Their wedding was is every way…like a fairy tale ! The bride was wearing a Vera Wang Dress ( the same wedding dress as in the movie Bride Wars with Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway) and Gold Jimmy Choo shoes. The ceremony was at the Saints Peter & Paul church in Ottawa and their wedding planner was from Marry Me Productions. We did some photos at the “Tabaret Hall” at the University of Ottawa. The reception was at the wonderful Hilton Lac Leamy during “Les Grands Feux du Casino- Sounds of Light competition”. Have a look at this breathtaking Ottawa wedding!

Tania & Francois – Ottawa Wedding photography
Wedding season is just around the corner! If you are an Ottawa soon to be bride and still haven’t booked your photograph yet, we still have a few dates available for the 2011 wedding season.
Here are some samples of a wedding photographed in Ottawa. Tania and Francois were the perfect wedding couple. They put their 100 % trust in us as wedding photographers and the results are outstanding. Joelle photographed this wedding along with her good friend and fellow Ottawa photographer Baz. The weather was great for an October wedding, the wedding party was crazy fun and the couple awesome… A wonderful wedding day in the capital!
We started our day at the groom house here in Orleans and then made our way to the mother of the bride’s house in the Gloucester area. The ceremony was held at the St Francois d’Assise church. We then re located to the downtown Ottawa byward market area for some family, wedding party and couple photos. The wedding party was great to work with and our couple was so down to earth! The night ended at the Hampton Inn in Ottawa. All the personal touches Tania and Francois added to their wedding day made this wedding so unique – the bride’s bright red shoes, the black feathers that were incorporated in the flower bouquets and in their table centerpiece and of course… Tania’s red gloves..
(Thank you to Tania & Francois – It was an honor to work with you! Joelle)
