{Sarah and Shawn - At the SchoolHouse and Saunders Farm} Ottawa Wedding Photographers

Sarah and Shawn were married in an intimate wedding ceremony at the Schoolhouse in Munster among their closes family and friends. Their care and appreciation for friends, family and those that made the day was shown in their many handmade touches including handmade bowls as favors to all their guests and thoughtfully for yours truly (merci!). For the occasion her talented father crafted a willow bench and table and chair for signing. A lovely ceremony with a caring touch of rustic charm. Here are some of my favorites...of which a few were shot on the lovely Saunders Farm grounds

Sarah and Shawn, thank you so much for having me as your photographer and making me feel like a  part of this special time with you and your family.

J&R - Album Design

I recently completed a large wedding album for J&R with a new company Irisbook; a Canadian company located in Vancouver. Most of the high-end wedding album companies are located in the States, but I was looking for a Canadian product and was thrilled to find them. Iris creates a look that is in keeping with the boutique service and style that m photography delivers. Simple, elegant and classic, these beautiful handcrafted albums are one of the products that sets m photography apart. I take pride in the fact that your album is designed personally by myself and is never sent out to a bulk design company. I take care of the details and that is another reason why we are able to deliver your album quickly.
If you are a recent client and are considering an album for your 2009 portrait session, these beautiful albums also come in and 8x8 and 6x6 size for families, maternity, trash the dress and boudoir sessions. Stay tuned- images to come when the album arrives...here are some sample pages from the album-enjoy!

T and N - At the Schoolhouse-Ottawa wedding photographer

If you follow my blog, you will remember T an N and their little miss G- I have been looking forward to this wedding from the moment I met this amazing couple. This amazing wedding was steeped in Scottish tradition right down to the smallest details. The couple took part in a traditional rose ceremony for their mothers, who were each given a rose preceding the ceremony. The vows were so touching I found myself teary and unable to see through my lens. Congratulations T, N and little G.
More pics still to come...

WHAT THE BRIDE SAID: WICKED! AWESOME! From the very first time that I met Melanie right to the very last picture that she took at our wedding she was phenomenal. Fun, energetic, great attention to detail, budget saavy, those are just a few of the words that I would use to describe Melanie. She made a girl who was absolutely terrified of the camera feel like a woman who felt sexy, stunning and hot on her wedding day! I would absolutley recommend Melanie for your wedding pictures! This will not be the end of the pictures that you will be taking for us. Family photos should be next and then, God willing, some maternity shots!

The Parker Family - Celebrating Love and Family

After many years and 3 wonderful children later, D&D came together to celebrate their love and their family in an intimate ceremony at the Lovely Schoolhouse in Munster, Ontario. It was moving to see the love this family has for each other, and what could have been more special than to have their children witness. A lovely day.

Every wedding is special and captures your heart in many ways, but when Jennifer & Reg married at the Schoolhouse in Munster, Ontario, I felt so a part of their day, that I felt like a welcomed guest and not just "the photographer".

E and D - Married!] Ottawa Wedding Photographer

A very intimate wedding held at the Schoolhouse on Saturday evening. When they hired me they told me how much they disliked being photographed, which is funny, because they wanted to hire me to photograph their whole event. So my challenge was to blend in, hide and become inconspicuous while photographing the story of their wedding. The other challenge was that we had 30 to photograph the bride and groom alone and do their group shots too- mission well accomplished. Here are some favorites to tell the story:

And with a goodbye to dad, it was over ....
