Krista & Andrew!

Last year I got an email from my cousin, who I had heard was getting married but due to our busy schedules had never got the chance to meet this gal I had heard lots of good things about. Oddly enough, our first encounter was me bringing some albums and samples over to their house to show off. With her sense of humour, I knew we'd get along famously and when they booked me, I realized it would be less of a job and more of a family reunion!

We headed up to the lovely Chateau Heritage Golf Course the day before to check out the scenery and potential shooting locations. How can you go wrong in the Quebec countryside?!

Here is a pic of Krista being prepped by Amy of the Ottawa Makeup Artists.


I love this shot of her beautiful dress!


Look in the mirror...


I absolutely adore this image of Krista as we head out to shoot the ladies!


We discovered this nook on our walkabout. Wonderful portrait of the bride before the ceremony.


The gorgeous girls!


Krista's beautiful cousin visiting from NFLD. She had amazing blue eyes...


Relaxed shot of the boys.


A wedding photoshoot wouldn't be complete without a shot of the b&g kissing! Am I right?!


S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!


Love this sequence as the rain sprinkled down...


(Maureen's fave...I must say, I agree)


Don't they look hot?!


Colours are fab!


A BB signature. Love it!


A wonderful day to spend with your cousin and welcome another cousin into the family!

We love you both.

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.


Mel being helped out of the limo.


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)!

It's here!
