It’s quite rare that either Magda or I tear up during the exchange of vows, but when we do, it’s because it touched us. That was the case with Mai and Phil! Their story is an absolutely beautiful one of kindness, acceptance and most of all love and it truly touched us. The day was just as Mai and Phil had perfectly envisioned with everything taking place at the quaint Le Belvedere in the Laurentian hills in Wakefield. It may have rained a little bit in the afternoon, but Mai and Phil’s joy and happiness was so infectious, nothing would get in the way of their happy ending.

Mai and Phil, your love for each other and your little boy is truly inspirational and we wish you a lifetime of happiness. Here is a collection of our favourite moments from your special day. We hope you love them! xoxo, Bartek & Magda

Kristy and Jackson contacted us last year after seeing our work we did of some of their friends weddings. Since then, we’ve hung out with them not only at their engagement photos in Ottawa’s Byward Market, but also at a wedding where Jackson was in the bridal party! We develop special relationships with our couples already, so when we get a chance to see them before their own wedding, it makes it even more special. That’s the case with Kristy and Jackson.

Fast forward to the summer of 2016, and we’re in at Le Belvedere in Wakefield, overlooking the Outaouais hills at their wedding. The venue is truly beautiful. With a view to die for, an outdoor ceremony area, patio and a gorgeous cottage where the couple can spend a night. Kristy and Jackson’s nature themed wedding, complete with their fluffy puppy Yoyo was really beautiful. From the tea ceremony all the way to the games at the sun kissed Le Belvedere, we couldn’t have asked for better setting. Thank you both for having us capture your special day, and we hope you love our hand picked favourites of the day! Click below to see even more in the slideshow.
