Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I realize that this is my job. Connecting with people on such a personal, deep level that would not have been made otherwise. Freezing a moment in time in their lives and preserving it in a photograph (Ed Sheeran’s voice just popped into my head!). Capturing joyful, authentic emotions. Creating artful imagery. And it’s even more rewarding when I take a few moments to select my favourite wedding images of 2017.

We started off with a bang with the birth of our baby girl, Hayat, in January. And she would be destined to travel A LOT in her first year of life with wide-eyed parents like hers!

Jeanette and Michael celebrated their fall wedding day on top of the city at the new Andaz Hotel (Andaz Ottawa Byward Market).

Mikey proposed to Joan last year in Paris during their European travels. And this past year over the summer at Orchard View in front of 100 of their closest friends and family members, they committed themselves to one another. Mikey vowed to keep dating Joan, to always listen to her and tell her about his day. Joan committed to a lifetime of happiness and adventure.
