Backyard Tent Wedding with Turkish Details

in , ,

Nazli & Craig didn't have to look far when it came to thinking of a place to hold their wedding. With lots of space and beautiful pool area, they decided to hold it in their own backyard. Planning done by the ladies over at Satin & Snow they were able to invite their friends and family over for a wonderful evening of dining by the poolside and dancing under the stars. Nazli was also able to incorporate some Turkish cultural traditions into their day including sprinkling the Blue Evil Eye around the reception tables.

The photo below is of a tradition in Turkish weddings where the names of single friends are written down on the bottom of the shoe, and whosever's is most worn-off by the end of the day will be the next to get married!

Ottawa Wedding - Yangtze Restaurant

in , ,

Though we are based in Ottawa, for Beth & Nick coming from the west coast of Canada, their wedding is a bit of a mini-destination for them. The held the ceremony at her father's church out in Navan, and the reception was held at Yangtze Restaurant along Somserset (The 10 course traditional Chinese dinner was incredible, if you're wondering!). But in between for the portraits, we made our way downtown and made sure to use some of Ottawa's landmarks to show off their mini-destination.

Prince of Wales Bridge - Engagement Session

in , ,

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.
