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!

We first met Becky and Michael when we went down to Ottawa for their engagement session. We were already looking forward to meeting them after getting to know them over Skype but little did we know how adorable they are as a couple in person! We spent the evening hanging out and photographing them and their two beautiful little puppies, but the day we all were looking forward to was their big wedding! It finally came.

Chinese weddings are extra special because they add a lot of beautiful traditions. Honouring their ancestors during the tea ceremonies, exchanging gifts and wishes with their close relatives and wearing beautifully coloured traditional clothing are only some of the things we get to photograph. During Becky and Michael’s wedding we witnessed some really beautiful moments between their aunts, uncles and grandparents and it really was tough holding back tears as we watched them get married!

The wedding itself was really beautiful. Becky is very detail oriented and planned out the day exactly as she had imagined! Cool socks for the groomsmen, matching light pink dresses for the girls, and of course, their two puppies also walked down the isle!

We took photos in some really beautiful rural areas just outside of Ottawa which we are going to share with you below! Becky and Michael, thank you for having us there to photograph all the beautiful and touching moments. Your families and ties with each other are really special and we see a very bright future ahead of you. I will now leave you with a slideshow and some of our favourite photos from the day!
