We were very fortunate to have photographed wedding so many times at the Cumberland Heritage Museum this year. It’s a place that offers a big variety for photos, it’s got old buildings, fields and at this time the trees were spectacular too. Which is why we were really looking forward to Lisa and Sean’s wedding which was to take place in the super tiny but adorable steeple on the grounds!

It ended up being a beautiful day even though it drizzled a little bit. The steeple filled in with friends and family and before we knew it, Lisa was walking down the isle. It was very dark in there but we managed to make it work! We were not concerned by anything because Lisa’s smile brightened any potentially difficult photo opportunity and in turn also put a huge smile on Sean’s face. The reception was at the River Rock Inn in Rockland and it was a really awesome party. I don’t think we’ve seen so many tears of happiness from a bridal party!

Well, this winds down Bartek & Magda’s 2014 wedding season! It’s been an incredible blast working with fantastic couples and we can’t wait what 2015 will have to offer.

Lisa and Sean, thank you for inviting us to be a part of your day and we hope you love these photos as much as we do! As usual, we leave our readers with our favourite images from your day as well as a slideshow. Enjoy!

Chantal and Marc chose the beautiful Cumberland Heritage Museum for their wedding just outside Ottawa, Ontario! Having photographed there before, we were very excited to go back and explore the farm to find spots we haven’t used before. On top of that, Chantal did everything herself in terms of decor and stationary! The popcorn at the cocktail, Chantal’s handmade rustic decorations, the photo booth with a super cool backdrop fit just perfectly with the farm setting.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day at the Cumberland museum and we had a blast shooting the wedding and enjoying the party! I can tell you there was a lot of laughter (especially due to the best man, Nick!), a few happy tears and an insane amount of off the hook dancing. Chantal and Marc, thank you for choosing us to photograph your beautiful DIY wedding day and we leave you with our favourite images as well as a slideshow. Enjoy!

I have known Martin for quite some time. Even though we have parted our separate ways since high school, I still have fond memories of messing around in Mrs. Chiarelli’s algebra class, hitting up Broadway’s Bar and Grill for breakfast (mmm, the homefries…) before heading back to St. Pius X and most importantly playing together on stage in our high school band together.

Naturally, we couldn’t wait to Meaghan and Martin’s wedding to come. Not having met Meaghan before we were quite anxious to get to know her, but knowing how kind and down to earth Martin is we had no doubt that she would be very similar. We were right! Meaghan is one of the sweetest girls we have recently met and she and Martin did everything they could so that we would have the best possible experience working with them.

She and Martin planned a very farm/barn themed wedding which they fittingly had at the Cumberland Heritage Museum east of Ottawa. The location was just perfect. A huge piece of land complete with heritage museum homes fitted with original decor, farm animals, fields, tractors and more. Meaghan compiled a beautiful collection of inspiration on her pinterest page and came up with her very own gorgeous look to their wedding! Baby’s breath bouquets, a handmade photo booth backdrop, beautiful billy balls decorating every table under a wooden outdoor reception area.

If the wedding is anything like their future life has to offer then they have nothing but joy, love and lots of family memories to look forward to. Thank you two from the bottom of our hearts for taking us along to photograph your wedding day! We leave you with our favourite photos from the day and of course don’t forget to check out hundreds more in the slideshow below.  Oh and Meaghan, thank you for my cup, i drink out of it every day since the wedding.

Bartek & Magda
