A Sophisticated Ottawa Wedding at the Museum of History |  Emily + Dan

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.

I think 2018 was our biggest year ever on all fronts, both business and personal.  We shot the weddings of the sweetest, kindest and funniest couples who we connected with so perfectly.  It felt like we were photographing our friends’ weddings, so there were lots of tears (from Batoul) streaming down our faces throughout many first looks, ceremonies and speeches.  

Why you should invest in your wedding bouquet

Why you should invest in your wedding bouquet

It’s no secret that over the years, I’ve become a little flower obsessed.  Maybe it’s my increased appreciation and love for all things natural and beautiful.  Or the way flowers add life to a room. Or simply, flowers make everything better!   For weddings, I’ve become more attuned to how flowers set the stage for the overall vibe of the wedding day.  Whether it’s a classic all white affair, or a bohemian backyard bonanza, flowers can bring your wedding to life!   Understanding that full floral service can get expensive, I’m focusing on why I think you should invest in your wedding bouquet.  Special thanks to my friend Katherine from Pollen Nation Floral Studios, one of the premier florists in the Ottawa area specializing in organic, garden-inspired florals, who is lending her expertise on this topic too.  So lets dive right in!
