A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to hang out with Jessica and Emilio to photograph their engagement session. One of their first dates took place at Mill St. Brew Pub so it seemed fitting to shoot there. The memories brought forth through the photoshoot invoked nothing but smiles and laughter. We always suggest couples dress like they would on a first date; it’s nice to see people still dress to impress! The pair looked fashionably fit to grace the pages of a magazine! Jessica and Emilio are very excited to tie the knot in their early-September wedding. I can’t wait to capture ..read more

A little while back when there was still a bit of snow on the ground, Cait, Dave and I took a stroll through the arboretum and little Italy for their engagement shoot. Their wedding coordinator, Elise from Toast Events, joined us and was pressured into being my lighting assistant.  As you can tell from these photos, Cait and Dave are a super fun couple with tons of energy. They're always smiling! Andrew ..read more

Ottawa has had a pretty rainy spring and summer so far. So when I saw the hot sunny forecast for Sophie and Josh's engagement shoot, I was pretty excited! Without a could in the sky, we met up near the Parliament Hill - a location Sophie and Josh had picked. Knowing that it was tourist season, I was up for the challenge of making them look like we were the only ones there. With Josh' sense of humour and Sophie's infectious laugh, our shoot just flew by! We made our way to a quiet little spot at Major's Hill Park that overlooks the Parliament Hill and Ottawa River, where they revealed that thi ..read more

Whoa, what a ridiculously fun shoot! I knew we would be off to a good start when Alexi pulled out a giant jug of beer from the Kichesippi Beer company which he works for. Both Alexi and Liz love photography and videography and were willing to go anywhere and do anything in order to get the shot. I'm looking forward to their wedding day when we can play around with the dinosaurs at the museum of nature! Britt             ..read more

HEATHER + JOHN Heather works with X-rays and John programs missiles. They’re pretty badass together. Later this year we’re photographing their epic wedding at Temple’s Sugarbush, but for now we simply took a stroll through the arboretum with their dog, Oscar. These two never cease to bring a smile to each other’s faces ..read more

COURTNEY + DAVID In a decade of photographing engagement shoots, we’ve never shot in snow like this before! It was pretty warm, and the snowflakes were clumping together in massive slushy chunks. We got soaked, but it was totally worth it! When I spoke with David before the shoot he mentioned how much Courtney loves snow. It’s almost like this snow storm was destined to happen :) I’ve got to give some serious credit to these two. They trekked through some seriously deep snow for some of these photos ..read more

A couple months ago I had a great portrait session with Melinda and Derek. We took a casual stroll through the Arboretum on a perfect afternoon. You can really see their playful and fun personalities shine through in these images. I love how genuinely happy they look! Derek and Melinda were just married and we’re currently wrapping up editing their wedding photos. Stay tuned for those ..read more

As a photographer there is no better compliment than to get a referral from a past couple. Stephanie is the sister of one of my past grooms, Jeff. I first met Stephanie and Brett at Stacey and Jeff's wedding where Stephanie was a bridesmaid. Its always fun to work with people that already feel like family. I am super excited for their wedding that is going to be at Evermore next September. Photography By Derrick Rice ..read more
