Chateau Laurier Wedding - Melissa & Geoff

We were so pleased when this couple contacted us about photographing their wedding at the Chateau Laurier, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! This was definitely the classiest wedding we've had the privilege to be a part of: top hats, pocket-watches, beautiful lace dress accompanied by a veil with lace from her mother's wedding, Fairmont hotel, sunset ceremony... the list could go on.

But what we loved even more was that at it's heart, this wedding was really about one very, very cute and happy couple, along with their families, celebrating their new life together.

During the evening, Melissa & Geoff wanted to ensure that all of their guests were documented in photos so we set up an area where they could come and have their own portraits taken. Think classy photobooth with natural setting sun and ridiculously classic background.

This wedding also hosted some of most well-written and delivered speeches we've ever heard. Since Geoff is an attendee of Toastmasters, not only was his Thank-You list hilarious but even the open-mic speeches were so well spoken! Seems like Toastmasters is the place to be.

Love this wind-down portrait taken right near the end.

Backyard Wedding - Anna & Derek

Anna & Derek's wedding brought us over to little ol' Lucan, Ontario. Just north of London, Lucan is a quiet country town but with some seriously intense history. Not really wedding related but the Coles Notes of it was there was a notorious family feud and massacre. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Donnellys).

Back to wedding related news, Anna put a lot of work (and Pinteresting!) into their country, backyard wedding and it totally paid off. 

This snack station was. the. best. Anna - you made our roadtrip back to Ottawa well fed and awesome.

For dinner? Pig Roast. Delicious.

Save the Date Session

If you remember, a couple months ago we posted about the Best Day Ever. Don't worry, you haven't missed it. A super unique wedding show happening in November here in Ottawa where only two of each vendor will be showcased as we put on two competing "weddings" for your vote.

Well today's session is all about introducing you to the lovely Team Sparks couple, Thea & Jody. We ventured to this river spot in Ottawa to shoot a Save the Date / "Engagement" / Family session.

We also went to the Museum of Nature (where the event will be held in November) to take some photos with their adorable little girl.
