If you were remotely tuned into the news at all this summer in Ottawa, you will have heard about the closure of the Prince of Wales abandoned train bridge that connects Ontario and Quebec just west of downtown Ottawa. We had been to the bridge on numerous occasions for general exploring, sunrise picnics or watching fireworks over the river. This bridge was essentially an extension of the neighbouring park and was a beautiful place to spend an evening. But we had never officially shot any photos here. So this August with Sally & Toby, before the city "closed up" the bridge, we decided to explore (hopefully not) one last time. Once again, another wonderful evening spent above the river.

Emma & Ali - Maternity
The following maternity session took us to a lesser-seen part of Ottawa's Experimental Farm. Although it is by far the coolest and you've probably seen it in photos, if you're taking a walk or drive around the arboretum or the farm, you don't typically pass into this area.
We actually met Emma through Facebook, since she too is an awesome Ottawa photographer. Isn't she wearing just the cutest maternity outfit? (Katriina's words, not Jons)

While we are finally mid-spring now, we all know this winter seemed to have gone on forever. If you’ve been following our blog posts, you’ll notice this year we decided to really take advantage of that cold white stuff and do some real Canadian photoshoots. We must confess, we really were not hoping for to spring to arrive as we had scheduled the following shoot for the end of March. But boy do we think it was worth it! We teamed up with some other amazing local vendors to bring you the following Ottawa wedding editorial, a winter elopement in the Wallingford Back Mine. Also a HUGE shout out to our models who literally bared their backs in the cold for us!
