Denise + Darroll | Montreal Engagement Photos

Denise has got to be one of the most adorable brides we have recently met. Every time we meet she is smiling from ear to ear, she’s super down to earth and happy about life! She is super lucky to have found Darroll, who compliments her so extremely well. Their love for each other was very obvious from the day we sat down to talk at Starbucks, to a couple weeks ago when we took them out to a field nearby for a photo session. Even with the looming rain over us, we had so much fun taking photos and half the time we just spent talking about stuff and just enjoying each other’s company! I think you’ll agree with me that they’re both quite easy on the eyes so that never hurts ;) It was also really fun talking to Darroll because he has a very unique job…he plays for the NHL! How cool is that?

We cannot wait to shoot their wedding next year and I’ll leave you off with some seriously-in-love images…

Annick + Stephane | Montreal Engagement Photographer

We met Annick and Stephane a couple of years ago while photographing a wedding in the Caribbean on a cruise! Our friends Asha and Marc-Andre were lucky to get married down there and Annick and Stephane were their guests. We connected with them right away and we have been in touch ever since.

It’s crazy how time flies because now it’s their turn to get married and lucky for us, we’re also going to be their photographers. A couple of weekends ago we set out with them near Mount Royal here in Montreal (hence, the name of our city!) for an evening engagement photo session. With them never being professionally photographed like this, it was natural for them to feel a bit awkward, but after a few of my still jokes and a lot of laughter and reassuring glances at the back of our cameras, they became seasoned pros!

A few animals decided to spice up the photo shoot as well! We had an encounter with a very friendly half shaved cat and an insane number of also friendly raccoons up on the mountain. They climbed everything and everyone, raided the garbage can and if you were holding any food, they would literally pull your pants down, no joke!

Here are the photos from the evening and we can’t wait for the big day! Enjoy :)

Ariane + Chris | Royal Ottawa Golf Club Wedding

Ariane and Chris have two of the biggest hearts we have ever met. They are such caring people that it makes you want to be a better person! Overcoming life’s hard challenges is something that  they have been working through this year, so it was amazing to see them pull through and enjoy their day with huge smiles!

The wedding took place in Aylmer at the prestigious Royal Ottawa Golf Club. Ariane loves photography and one of their number one important things they wanted for their wedding was to have images they will love forever… and lots of them. So they allotted a crazy amount of time for the photoshoot, and trust me…we didn’t complain! ;) Even though it was a little hot and the mosquitoes were out to get us (especially in the woods) they braved it all like champs and we came back with some amazing photos. Just before the ceremony Ariane and Chris had a very intimate and sweet reveal right outside the Royal Ottawa Golf Club. After that we headed over near the Gatineau Park for some field photos and then ended off at the gorgeous L’Auberge Symmes Inn Musem.

I have to say that Ariane knocked the photobooth props out of the park. This is exactly why we suggest our couples come up with their own unique props because they can turn out as fantastic as Ariane’s! She made moustaches on a stick, monocles on a stick, lips on a stick, tophats, gloves, feather fans, you name it and she did it! You have to check out the slideshow with the photos at the end of the post, thank you Ariane for the amazing props!!!

As usual, I’ll leave off by blogging our favourite photos of the day (it was so hard to choose) and Magda and I would like to thank both Ariane, Chris and their families for allowing us into their lives to capture some once in a lifetime moments. Thank you and we wish you SO much love and happiness…

Nhu + Art | Ottawa Engagement Photography

I think the best part about our job is that we get to laugh. A lot. And when we get a chance to be with people like Nhu and Art, we laugh even more if that’s even possible! Everything they do involves being happy and just taking it easy with big smiles, so when they hired us to photograph their wedding we knew we were a perfect fit!

With their wedding being just around the corner (which will be taking place in Ottawa at the new Ottawa Convention Centre!) we took them out for a little photo session out in Kanata in some woods. They also brought Kumo along, who is a new addition to their family, and he loved the woods. I’m not so sure he cared so much for the photos part but I don’t blame him ;)

Magda and I absolutely cannot wait to be at Nhu and Art’s huge 300 person wedding in a few weekends and I promise to be back with more photos of this adorable couple. Thanks for the awesome evening you two!!! Enjoy the sunset light and the infectious smiles.

Lidia + Eric | Ottawa Wedding Photography

Getting a call from someone like Lidia and Eric is like getting a gift on Christmas. They didn’t just call to inquire about our work and our packages but instead they just had to have us at their wedding no matter what! Magda and I were flattered as you can imagine. Add to that we go way back with Lidia to Saturday Polish school and Polish church in Ottawa when we were younger. See, Magda and I started dating when we were about 16 years old and and Lidia was in my class and remembers it all. How cool is that?

We knew this day was going to be one to remember. Take a wedding, add some Polish people, and you know you’ve got a recipe for awesomeness! Everyone was having such a fun time curling up from laughter at the speeches, going nuts at the photobooth (our first one in Ottawa, holaaaa!), killing it on the dancefloor and someone even owned the dancefloor with Michael Jackson’s entire Billie Jean routine (Mateusz, I’m lookin’ at you!).

I also have to mention something incredibly unique. Lidia sewed her own dress. Yes. She made a wedding gown for herself! Can you believe it? We were dying to see it after seeing facebook update after update, and when we got to see her in it on the big day it was breathtaking. And she made her own cake…no biggie, right? Go Lidia!!!

Lidia and Eric chose the the Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica in Ottawa for their wedding. It is honestly one of the most spectacular churches in Ottawa and every time we shoot there we are in awe at the detail and the history. We took photos at Major’s Hill Park behind the Chateau Laurier and then headed over for some more wedding photos at the abandoned Prince of Wales Bridge that runs across the Ottawa river. Lidia and Eric were so happy to be with each other. It was such a pleasure being with them and just enjoying the young couple’s energy and love, and we are blessed to have had the opportunity to work with them!

After an absolutely awesome time with Lidia and Eric, making new friends, eating some great food and dancing our butts off…we would like to share with you some of our best shots of the day below. Thank you Lidia and Eric for hiring us to be there and we cannot wish you enough happiness together, enjoy…
