If you are planning a wedding at the Fairmont Chateau Montebello , have a look at this wedding.!!! Annabelle and Ben got married at the gazebo on the East side of the Montebello grounds overlooking the Ottawa River. This was the perfect backdrop for a beautiful dream wedding. Annabelle and Ben came all the way from Miami, Florida to get married at the famous Chateau Montebello. We photographed the groom and his groomsmen first, followed by the bride and bridesmaids. The chateau offers a dramatic style of lighting that works perfectly with the photos we wanted to achieve. The guests made their way to the gazebo while Annabelle and her father, Denis, arrived in style with a horse and carriage. After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed cocktails while we did the family, wedding party and couple photos. The reception was in the Canadian room and, to the couple’s surprise, they were greeted by the wedding party holding hockey sticks above their heads (a tribute to all the NHL hockey players in the room). The live band was amazing and the speeches were heartfelt. A great wedding reception to a perfect wedding day! To Annabelle and Ben: Enjoy your new married life. We wish you all the happiness, health and success you deserve. It was an honour to be a part of your big day!
A long drive to Stittsville very early in the morning brought Joelle and I to a beautiful home filled with love and warmth (and a wonderful family). Kurtis was getting ready on one side of the house, while his fiance Theressa was in the master suite. They could hear each other, but, could not see each other! Joelle and I had fun keeping them occupied with the photo session and working the different rooms hiding them from each other. Morning session done… we were on our way to the ceremony at the Courtyard restaurant for 10 AM. Lynne and Keith Langille from Exceptional Ceremonies were the officiants and they preformed a personalized beautiful ceremony as always! I love being a wedding photographer and having the privilege to be present on one of the most important days of their lives. Even after all the wedding I photograph, I still get caught up in the moment and, as the tears fill my eyes I am grateful I have automatic focus on my canon camera, ouffff!!! We stayed around the By ward market and courtyard area for the photo session and had a blast. What a wonderful couple and you’ll see why we say Theressa has a “million dollar smile”.
