This blog post has been so much fun to create. Emily and Dan tied the knot this fall at the Museum of History in one of the most elegant and sophisticated weddings I’ve shot to date!  

Our favourite parts of the day: an emotional first look with her father in their backyard, overlooking Dowe’s Lake; an incredible view of Parliament and the Ottawa River during their portraits, and a heck of a reception entrance dancing their way down one long escalator.  Oh, and lets not forget their choice of a donut cake, by Mavericks Donuts.  These two have got to be my soul-mate dessert lovers.  

Courtney Elizabeth Events, one of my favourite wedding planners (and not only because our sense of humours align) pulled the planning pieces together flawlessly with florals and decor by the wonderful mother-daughter team from The Gathering Event Company.

Friends, we’re going to rally the troops on this blog post once again!  I will send Emily and Dan a SURPRISE GIFT if:

1 - this blog post of their elegant Museum of History wedding gets more than 10 comments; AND

2 - if the latest instagram post of their wedding gets more than 5 comments (click here to get there!).

So, let’s hear your wonderful words below. Take a peek at my favourites from their wedding, then scroll all the way down to comment!
