Sareda + Calvin – A Billings Bridge Estate & Yangtze Restaurant Wedding

billings_estate_wedding_ottawa_017

This was our last wedding of the 2015 summer season and we could not have asked for a nicer couple for an amazing season finale! The weather was perfect, the guests were wonderful and really knew how to party! We were thrilled to see some familiar faces and made some new friends so I’m sure we’ll be seeing Sareda and Calvin at another party in the future. Sareda and Calvin were just as wonderful as we remembered them from their waterfront engagement session last year.

The ceremony was held at the beautiful Billing Bridge Estate. The historic building and picturesque grounds provided for sun kissed moments which we captured on our cameras. We couldn’t wait to head to the party since it was at the ever so popular Yangtze Restaurant in the heart of Ottawa’s Chinatown. As usual the delicious meals consisted of many traditional courses and every single one of them were just amazing! Then, as expected, the louder the music got, the more Ciroc bottles started popping and the dancing was out of this world! Calvin even had a GoPro mounted Ciroc bottle that was passed around on the dance floor making for some amazing footage.

Sareda and Calvin, thank you for having us be a part of your day! We wish you a lifetime of happiness, and we leave you with our favourites and of course the slideshow just below:

Carmen + Minh – Billings Estate Wedding in Ottawa

chateau_laurier_wedding_067

We had some pretty hot days this summer! With that said both Magda and I are so proud to work with couples who don’t let the heat get in the way of taking beautiful photos. Carmen and Minh looked absolutely stunning on their gorgeous (and hot!) wedding day.

The day was perfect. From touching tea ceremonies, to the beautiful ceremony at the Billings Estate in Ottawa, to the experimental farm for photos and finally to the always amazing Chateau Laurier. Not only was the young couple easy and fun to work with, but we also have to thank the bridal party for being so accommodating and sweet.

Carmen and Minh, thank you for bringing us on the journey with you! It was beautifully special and we can’t thank you enough. Here are a handful of our favourite moments from the day, as well as a slideshow. We wish you a wonderful life together!

Nina + Angelo – Golf Le Mirage Wedding

golf_le_mirage_wedding_017

Nina and Angelo are a breath of fresh air, so utterly in love with each other and it shows! They were both so excited to get married, and to start their lives together as husband and wife. We were fortunate enough to spend some time with them taking photos near the Atwater Market a little while ago. It’s a real treat for us to get to know a couple before the wedding and then to see them get married and start a new chapter is a real pleasure! If you haven’t seen it, check it out here!

Le Mirage is where everything was held. It was a beautiful day at a beautiful location owned by Celine Dion out in Terrebonne QC. The staff there make everything run so smoothly, so that the guests can simply enjoy the day and the bride and groom worry about absolutely nothing but having fun. And don’t get me started about how wonderful the food and the chef is.

Nina and Angelo, thank you for choosing us to capture your beautiful day! We had a blast with you, and we wish you many many more years of your beautiful smiles you get to share together. Here are our favourite moments of the day and a slideshow.

We hope you enjoy your photos as much as we enjoyed taking them!

Stephanie + Alex – Le Mirage Golf Club Wedding

lemirage_wedding_001Stephanie and Alex are two sweethearts that have been together forever! It’s incredibly endearing seeing them interact because it shows how madly and deeply they are in love.

We first met Stephanie and Alex when we took them on an adorable apple orchard pre-wedding photoshoot. If you haven’t seen it yet, click here now! The wedding was held at the absolutely stunning Eglise Saint Anges in Lachine. The old church provided beautiful colours and backgrounds to nearly every frame we snapped inside, and it was hard not to get consumed by the stunning architecture surrounding the young newlyweds.

One of our favourite venues provided the setting for the cocktail and reception…the Club de Golf Mirage! Surrounded by beautiful floral arrangements by Luluthia, the party was out of this world. Everyone had an incredible time on the dance floor intertwined with out of this world dishes, hilarious speeches and our super fun photobooth.

Stephanie and Alex, you’ve been together for a wonderfully long time already and you’re inseparable! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and hope you enjoy our favourite images from your day as well as a slideshow. Thank you for having us be a part of your special occasion!

Caitlin + Steven – Restaurant 18 Wedding in Ottawa

restaurant18_wedding_024

Photographing weddings in Ottawa is always special for Magda and I. We spent a lot of life there and it feels like we’re back home! So when we found out that the most adorable Caitlin and Steve were getting married there, and that they wanted their photos in the same location as our own wedding photos were taken, we knew we had to be a part of this!

It was a perfect summer day, not too hot, not too cold, so everyone was happy! The ceremony was held at the very pretty St. Teresa parish and then we headed over to the Experimental Farm Arboretum which provided really pretty backdrops for our photos. It was a breeze and a pleasure photographing Caitlin and Steve, with them being so beautifully in love! Finally, the day ended and we took a few more photos around the Byward Market and then we were ready to party at Restaurant 18 right in the heart of the beautiful market. The food was to die for, the speeches touched everyone and the dancing was out of this world!

Caitlin and Steve, thank you for inviting us to capture this beautiful day for you! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and leave you with a slideshow, as well as our favourite moments of the day…
