Melina & Brad!

Melina and Brad were probably one of the most easy going couples we've ever worked with. Truly relaxed and stress free, they really made our day so easy. When they initially came to me, they said that they wanted something different. Urban, modern, gritty, and funky. We searched all of Ottawa to get them different, and came up with a number of poses and ideas that we thought would capture their personalities.

Here is a funky make-up shot.

A new take on a traditional image.

Maureen caught this as they were preparing to walk down the aisle.


I love the perspective...


Melina and Brad wanted different...we gave them different...


Nothing better than pillars and concrete to reflect the gritty, urban feel to their images.


Brad's expression is perfect. And wonderful space in the frame.


The group on some rusted stairs...


The boys, relaxed as ever...


I love this portrait of Melina! She looks fab!


Graffiti on a burned out old rig. Need I say more?


Oh my...a new favourite. Love their expressions, love the pose, the door...LOVE IT...


Melina didn't stop smiling all day. I don't think she could have if she wanted to!


Okay, another favourite! Brad is working it.


The stunning bride! Simply gorgeous.


I believe Maureen said "Soooo girly!". I couldn't agree more!


Brad was on at this point! Great portrait.


They had their reception at the Cube gallery. What an amazing venue - surrounded by art, live music and food. It was really unique, just like them!


Loved working with you two (and your family and friends)!
