loft_montreal_wedding_013

This wedding was so much fun for many many reasons! Firstly, Jen and Jon are amazing people and the four of us got along like old friends all day long. Jon and I meshed so well, I actually forgot I was a hired to be there a few times during the night! Secondly, the day was calm, relaxing, it rained a bit but we didn’t care and Jen and Jon being fabulous graphic designers, designed and created all their amazing stationary and decor! To top it off, our friend Azar of Principal Planner put the reception together so wonderfully at The Loft Hotel.

We’re just starting off the season but getting to spend time with people like Jen and Jon gives us so much joy to be doing this professionally. Thank you both, and thank you to your families for having us there during your special day! We have no doubt that you have a long and happy future ahead of you, so we wish you all the best and lots of love!

There are a ton of photos but we can only post so much at once! Here are some moments from the day as well as a slideshow right below. Beware the slideshow is long…But that’s only because people had a LOT of fun! Enjoy!

Lynn + Jonathan – Wedding at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

circuitgillesvilleneuve_wedding_012

Our goal is to, of course, provide beautiful wedding images for our couples. However, one of the things that came to us naturally and the thing that we have been nurturing more and more over the years is the relationship we form with all our beautiful newlyweds.

Hearing that one of the things they were most looking forward to was spending the day with Magda and I has got to be one of the best compliments we can get in our line of work. That is exactly what Lynn and Jonathan said to us and it melted our hearts. Needless to say we were seriously looking forward to their intimate wedding last month on the Formula 1 Circuit Gilles Villeneuve here in Montreal. Even though spring was been late, the surrounding areas on the island where Lynn and Jonathan had their ceremony were really really beautiful!

The day, ceremony and people were just wonderful. Add Jackie, their unbelievably happy Husky running around in a bow tie, and we had one of the most pleasant photo shoots in recent history.

Lynn and Jonathan, thank you for having us there with you. You two are really beautiful people and we wish you nothing but the best for your future together! I’m sure we’ll meet again. In the meantime, here are a few of our favourite moments from the day…

Zia + Yvan – Engaged

forest_engagement_005

Zia and Yvan are two of the sweetest souls we’ve had the pleasure of meeting recently. Both being from Rwanda, they are here in Montreal to quickly tie the knot and then they are going  back to Rwanda for a traditional wedding ceremony. They contacted us for a pre-wedding photo shoot and wanted a natural setting, so we suggested this cozy wooded area here in Beaconsfield, QC, called “Angell Woods”.  It was an incredibly cold day but luckily we had pretty snow and beautiful sunshine the whole time. Not to mention the beautiful smiles that both Zia and Yvan beamed with as they enjoyed each other’s company in front of the lens!

We’re really fortunate to meet all kinds of people from all over the world and we love being a small part in their journey of love. Here are a few photos of that bright and happy day in the woods…

Lindsay + Stefan | a horse ranch engagement

horse_ranch_engagement_session_001

It’s not every day that I get an email from an old childhood friend  wanting to get some photos taken! Well, that’s exactly what happened when Stefan contacted us.

I was blown away because it’s been so long since I have seen him. When I (Bartek) immigrated here to Canada from Europe, Stefan and his awesome sister were two of my first close friends. We hung out, played Donkey Kong on the nintendo and had a blast. So seeing Stefan all handsome and grown up with his beautiful fiance Lindsay was a real pleasure.

Lindsay and Stefan both love horseback riding so they suggested we do the session up at the Pinto Valley Ranch near Ottawa. We too have a soft spot for horses and animals in general, since our almost eight year old daughter, Klementine, rides as has a real passion for it.  At Pinto, we had a lot of variety to work with, horses, the barn, animals everywhere, and all of it in a beautiful snowy setting. It was quite hilarious because as we moved around the property taking photos with Lindsay and Stefan, we were followed by an entourage of goats, cats, two dogs and chickens! It was awesome.

Lindsay and Stefan were absolute naturals to work with and we’re thrilled with the portfolio! Thank you guys for being champs and working it. Here are a handful of our favourite frames from the day…

Hayley + Jake | A white winter wedding at the royal ottawa golf club

royal_ottawa_winter_wedding_031

I can’t believe another wedding season is officially starting! Magda and I are very excited for 2014 as we will be working with some really amazing people and can’t wait to share our experiences throughout the year. Hayley and Jake are two of those people and today we have the pleasure of sharing their wedding day with you. Our history with Hayley’s family goes back to 2010 when we photographed her sister Katrina’s wedding. Then our relationship took off when we found out we’ll also be photographers for both of Katrina’s younger sisters. Which brings us to today!

It was a very cold but also very beautiful and snowy day. I dropped Magda off at the gorgeous Mahogany Spa in Carleton Place where Hayley and the girls were getting ready and then headed over to the prestigious Royal Ottawa Golf Club to hang out with the boys. They guys were downstairs having a blast playing pool, ping pong and eating delicious snacks while the girls were getting pampered at the other end of town.

As expected, the Royal Ottawa Club was the perfect setting for an elegant and classy affair. Hayley’s dad brought everyone to tears just as he did both previous times while he walked Hayley down the aisle. After the wedding we headed outside. Yes, outside! It must have honestly been -15°C with very strong winds but we were fortunate that Hayley, Jake and the whole bridal party were adamant on getting beautiful photos. It was really really cold but because it was very important for Hayley and because they were so focused on each other, both Hayley and Jake could not care less about the temperature while we took photos. They laughed, hugged and snuggled through the blistering cold which immediately showed us how close of a couple they were.

The evening ended off with some touching words from Hayley’s  father, great food and a really fun party. It means the world to us that we were part of the Feasby family by being the photographers for all three of their girls. Every wedding was unique in it’s own way, but what struck us the most was how much love and care went into each celebration. We wish Hayley and Jake an amazing life together and we thank you again for bringing us with you on your journey that day.

We leave you with our favourite moments from the day as well as a slideshow. Enjoy!
