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.

CHANIQUA & NAWAZ – DOMAINE PERRAULT WINERY ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Featuring this beautiful couple on our blog today as they were supposed to say I do at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier.

Covid-19 has greatly impacted our wedding season but we can’t wait to photograph their wedding in 2021.

Our heart goes out to all our 2020 couples, we will all get through this. ♡

 

Chaniqua is a Bachelor/Bachelorette fan and she fell in love with Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgin’s winery engagement session.

As Bachelor/Bachelorette fans ourselves we knew exactly what style she had in mind. Domaine Perrault is a beautiful winery location in Navan, just 15 minutes from Orleans or 30 minutes from downtown Ottawa.

Domaine Perrault Winery generously allowed us on their grounds so we could create and capture Chaniqua and Nawaz’s vision. This location offered so many different backgrounds for us to use.

 

To book your engagement session or if you’re recently engaged and want

to schedule a wedding consult give us a call at 613-833-3335.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

Shilpa & Alex – Christian Ceremony at the Hilton Lac-Leamy

Here is PART ONE of this amazing wedding. I had to split this two day wedding in three parts as there are so many photos we wanted to share. The day started at 7h00 AM for us, so imagine how early it started for the bride and groom!!! The morning preparations were done at the Hilton Lac-Leamy.  The Presidential suite is breathtaking and offered the perfect backdrop for this luxurious wedding. Seema Haider makeup artist and her team did a wonderful job getting the bride, her family and wedding party ready on time. Bharat Rudra coordinated the wedding and made sure all the vendors, couple and family members knew exactly were to be at all times.  To bring the “mother nature” team indoors, the decorating team made replicas of crab apple trees in bloom. It was perfect with the white and blush colour palette. This was an early Cristian wedding to honour the groom’s family traditions. We took some additional photos of the family and wedding party around the Hilton. We then crossed over to the Ottawa side for more photos around the National Gallery of Canada. We were back at the Hilton for lunch and to get ready for the Hindu Celebration! (Thank you Shilpa and Alex for  being so amazing and for looking soooooo gorgeous. You two were so fun to work with and were truly a joy to photograph.

Stay tuned for PART TWO of Shilpa and Alex’s Hindu Wedding.

BABY SLOAN IS ALL GROWN UP – LIFESTYLE STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY

“Baby Sloan” is the most adorable little girl. She is polite, pretty and determined to do things her way. Kids often dictate the photo sessions. Our job as photographers is to guide the child to the set, chair, rug or area we want them photographed in, and then, let their imagination and the magic happen. We have tricks up our sleeves, but sometime, even the funniest toy or most beautiful stuffed animal won’t make a difference in the world if the child does not want to be there. We need to build a trusting relationship first, get them to like us, and photograph in a non-obstructive style. This approach works really well when parents want a “lifestyle photo session”. Here are a few highlights!

FAIRMONT CHATEAU MONTEBELLO WEDDING – MARIAGE MONTEBELLO QUEBEC

This lovely couple tied the knot last fall. The day started on the Ontario side at both their home and parents home. The wedding was held at the “Paroisse St-Jacques” on Notre Dame Street, in Embrun,Ontario. This is a very majestic church in the middle of a small village that looks amazing visually, especially on photos!!! After the church wedding, we crossed over to the Quebec side to make our way to the Chateau Montebello. We love photographing weddings at Montebello. The scenery, the river, the marina, the chateau, the iconic fireplace, la maison Papineau, the stables, the trails in the woods… you name it, they have it. Let’s not forget to mention the staff at the hotel, always friendly and very helpful. The evening was filled with heartfelt speeches, lot’s of laughter, amazing family and friends and lot’s of dancing!!!

To Mauranne and Marc: It was a privilege to record the events of your wedding day! You are truly beautiful and we wish you the best in the new chapter of your lives together. May these wedding photos help keep the memories of your day alive and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

Here are a some highlights of the day!
