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.

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!

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!

Martine & Marc’s Wedding At Le Belvédère in Wakefield Quebec
So much preparation and effort goes out into planning weddings. It takes a year or more to plan everything… up to the little details that make each weddings unique. We are proud to be a part of this process and to help our couples get as much information possible. Planning is the key! We are here to help as this is not our first rodeo. Since 1982, our studio has photographed well over 1300 weddings! We put so much effort in what we do and continue to offer a wide range of printed albums, photos and wall size signature collection portraits! Weddings are rewarding to photograph and give us an incredible feeling of creative satisfaction!(especially when the couples get to see the photos for the first time).
Martine and Marc’s wedding is a perfect example of why we love our job! When we found out how Marc proposed, we knew we had to documents their love story. This beautiful, sweet, totally in love, adorable couple gave us “Carte Blanche” to create beautiful memorable images for them. They had 100% confidence in us and we took the time to get to know them, and find out what style of photography they loved. They choose the amazing Le Belvédère in Wakefield as their wedding venue. The beautiful flowers and decorations were done by Wedecor.
To Martine and Marc: Your vows were so beautiful and emotional, there was not a dry eye in the audience (including us, at one point, we were hiding our tears behind the camera). The photography session during the cocktails went so well. It was so easy to capture the love you have for one another. Your wedding party was awesome and we loved photographing your families. Fast forwarding to the reception, the speeches were memorable, heartfelt and hilarious!!! Who knew your childhood memories could be so entertaining! Your siblings did a fine job at painting us a clear picture! You are blessed because you are surrounded by families and friends that love you so much. Congratulations! (P.S.: To the bridesmaid who had the same cell phone we did… sorry for accidentally taking it during the whole reception, LOL…We are so happy we realized it before we left!)
