Tara + Jon | A sunny farm engagement session

We love it when couples trust us with our vision and give us a carte blanche to do something fun and creative. Tara and Jon are one of those couples. So as soon as we suggested doing their pre-wedding engagement photos at a farm just off the island of Montreal, they were totally in!

It was a really beautiful evening when we arrived at Quinn Farm. It was after hours so people were gone, the temperature was perfect and we had the whole place to ourselves (don’t worry, we got permission!). We must have spent at least a few hours just walking around the property, laughing, getting to know each other and of course stopping to take photos along the way. Hanging out with Tara and Jon was a real treat for us, with them being really really nice people and super adorable in front of the lens.

When we first met Tara and Jon over Skype, we couldn’t wait to shoot their wedding! And now after having the chance of spending time with them, we are sooo looking forward to their wedding day in October!!

Roxane + Alexis | An Old Officer’s Mess Wedding in Montreal

It is truly something extremely flattering when we get to meet our past brides and grooms at other wedding receptions. This usually means they referred us to their friends who we now have the pleasure of working with! This time it happened when we met Roxane and Alexis who originally saw our work on Stephanie and Steve’s wedding we did last January in the Dominican.

If there was one way I could describe Roxane and Alexis, I would say they’re both just simply sweet, nice and pleasant people. Since Alexis is in the Canadian Forces, he donned his uniform and the wedding was held at the historic Old Officer’s Mess in Fort Saint-Jean  near Montreal. The amount of love and happiness from their friends and family was overwhelming when it came time for the speeches and the party literally exploded once the delicious food was finished.

Like I said at the beginning, we love seeing familiar faces at new weddings we shoot and that is intensified by the new friends we make. Roxane and Alexis, we wish you so much love and happiness and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking us along for this journey.

Christina & Matthieu | A Montreal Engagement Photoshoot

Recently, we had the pleasure of meeting freshly engaged Christina and Matthieu. It always makes us happy when we see that spark that new couples have…that little special excitement and that initial growth of love!

They came by our home on the West Island here in Montreal and we headed out for a casual photo session nearby. We decided to try doing the photos at Centennial Park in Beaconsfield and we were pleasantly surprised by how cute it is there! Add Christina and Matthieu to the equation and we have some beautiful photos to share with you today.

We’ll be back after September with photos of Christina in her dress and Matthieu in his suit. Can’t wait!

Denise + Darroll | A University of Western Ontario Wedding

I remember the time when we first met Denise and Darroll. It was last summer at a Starbucks in Kanata, Ontario.

We grabbed some coffees and instead of talking wedding, we immediately got side tracked and just started chatting about them and a little about us. Denise, having a permanent smile is the most adorable fit for a not-so-bad-looking-himself Darroll. We talked, laughed and peeked a little into their lives which we soon got to be a part of.

Fast forward to this last month and we are on a plane to London, Ontario to work with Denise and Darroll on their big wedding day! The wedding was held at the University of Western Ontario in the Great Hall, which is not too far from where Denise grew up with her brothers as a child! Speaking of which, the day before the wedding, all the guests were treated to a mouth watering pig roast and perogie party hosted at that same farm. To make it even more special, Darroll hand picked and wrestled the pigs to the ground himself (at least that’s what he told us…but we believe you ;).

The day was planned out beautifully by Amy McNall and we worked along side Avartisan Productions who captured the whole day on video.

Cute as a button Denise found her knight in shining armour, and this was clearly echoed by all the guests at their wedding. We were constantly moved to tears (and a lot of laughter) by the beautiful things their friends and family had to say about them. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts that you invited us to come work with you and capture your important day. Thank you, and we wish you the happiest marriage you could ever dream of!

Catherine + Matthew | The Forest and Stream Club Wedding

When we got a message from Catherine and Matthew we were quite excited to find out that the wedding would be held near our house, on the West Island! On top of that, this young couple lives just around the corner, which made it easy when we met and finalized their details.

Not to mention how obvious it was that they were perfect for each other, as soon as they came by to talk we knew they were a perfect match with us. Smiles from ear to ear, easy going, trusting us with our direction, these are things we love about our brides and grooms.

The wedding was held at the beautiful Eglise St-Germain in Outremont. Giant decorative windows allowed the summer sun to pour in and warm up both our photos and also literally the church! It was a hot day but everyone enjoyed it and not a single soul complained. The Forest and Stream Club on the West Island provided the most perfect lakeshore setting for the wedding reception. Complete with lake side hors d’oeuvres, delicious meals and a beautiful historic building.

Just as Catherine and Matthew had smiles from ear to ear when we first met them, we too had the same look on our faces while working with them on their wedding day. Actually, now that I think about it, pretty much every person beamed with happiness around them that day. From the moment we entered Catherine’s parent’s home to the hilarious moments we witnessed happening in front of the photobooth late in the evening.

Magda and I were thrilled to be a part of this day and we thank Catherine and Matthew for taking us along for the ride. We wish you lots of joy and happiness in your marriage…but we see that you’ve got it covered already.

We took a ton of photos but we can only share a handful here on the blog…so here they are! There are even more in the slideshow below as well.
