North York Toronto Wedding | Rebecca + Dan

North York Toronto Wedding | Rebecca + Dan

Rebecca and Dan’s wedding was filled with so many personal details that made their day uniquely them.  Rebecca wore her grandmother’s pearl earrings and gold watch.  She got ready in her childhood home, down the street from the church where she and Dan said their I dos.  Her father sang her a ballad that he wrote himself while her mother played the piano in the background.  Not a single eye was dry at that moment.  Dan’s family surprised everyone with a video full of Canadian icons and celebrities sending them personalized best wishes.  Special mentions from the one and only Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Rick Mercer, Jann Arden, Elliotte Friedman just to name a few.  See the video here.

French Countryside Engagement Shoot | Genevieve + Jason

I can describe Genevieve and Jason in 3 words:  adventurers, stylish and humble.  They were introduced through family friends when they were in their late teens and have been together, travelling the world, ever since.  From the streets of Germany to checking almost all the Caribbean countries off their bucket list, Genevieve and Jason are true adventurers.  Their 2 year old son, Loic, has the same spirit.  Not only do they love to travel, but as you can tell, they have such a great sense of style, while remaining down-to-earth.  

University of Ottawa Engagement Shoot | Laura + Renaud

University of Ottawa Engagement Shoot | Laura + Renaud

They were both students at the University of Ottawa in the same criminology field.  He was in the French program and she was in the English one.  So they never had an opportunity to cross paths on campus. Until one day they ended up hanging out with a common group of friends on the day that Renaud did not have a class.  It was at this point that Laura jokingly said to her friend that Renaud was her soulmate.  

Brockville Country Club Wedding | Hilary + James

Brockville Country Club Wedding | Hilary + James

They walked into their ceremony…together.  She didn’t wear a veil.  The rain poured down all day long until it was time to take their photos.  No assigned seating or head table - everyone sat where their heart desired.  Hilary and James made their wedding completely their own and didn’t follow any tradition for the sake of tradition.  This is what made their day even more special.  It reflected their sharp fashion sense, attention to detail and minimalist style as well as their cottage-loving, nature exploring, wild-at-heart selves.  It was perfectly them.  

Nepean Point Ottawa Engagement Shoot | Liz + Ryan

Nepean Point Ottawa Engagement Shoot | Liz + Ryan

In Ryan’s own words, they met in the most ‘Canadian’ of ways.  Liz and Ryan were in a curling league on opposing teams.  It took him until the end of the season to work up the courage to ask Liz out on a date.  Years later, after Ryan surprised Liz with a candlelit dinner at home, he surprised her again by getting down on one knee and proposing to the love of his life.
