Kingston Engagement Session - Kingston Wedding Photographer

Recently I had the opportunity to travel to beautiful Kingston, Ontario for an engagement session. Rebecca and Jonathan will be married in September 2012 at the Renaissance - a former church, now converted to become a very cool wedding venue in Kingston, Ontario not too far from the beautiful RMC -Royal Military College.  
It must have been the most beautiful July day which was perfect because they were hosting an outdoor engagement party after our engagement session. It was an amazing opportunity to meet the wedding party, the families and friends before the wedding. Now we have so much to look forward to!


Here are a couple of my favorites from our time together...

Engagement Session - L & C - Kingston-Montreal Wedding Photographer

I met Lucia and Carlos together for the first time before their wedding day in Ottawa. They almost didn't hire a wedding photographer! We had a drink or two at the Black Tomato in Ottawa's Byward Market to get to know each other a bit better and there was an instant click among us.  I would be lying if I said that Carlos was over the moon about being photographed at all, but by the time we started shooting we were having a great time and all looking forward to the big day. Lucia and Carlos were married at the National Arts Centre in a Great Gatsby themed wedding that was stunningly decorated by Jenna Majikot of Dahlia Event Production, who inspired Chef David Blackie to even remark, "Wow! Decor that is worthy of my food!". More from their beautiful wedding to come.

Some Wedding Inspiration from Engage 11 in San Diego - Ottawa Wedding Photographer blog

I recently attended Wedding Business Summit in San Diego that featured some of THE best in the wedding industry as a whole. It was a wonderful opportunity to see some of the new trends and come face to face with some amazing talent. It was there where many industry people were balking the current candy bar trend that was showing up so strongly last year. However, it's not gone for good...it's the candy car with a bit of a twist.

One of my favorite themed "dessert bars" was the Coffee Bar. It was beautifully dressed in orchids and other exotic florals with down to earth vintage coffee signs which lent a modern elegance to the presentation. It included cold drinks from Starbucks and fresh espresso served hot. The dessert array included chocolate mocha cookies, expresso beans, tiramisu, biscotti and mocha mousse in tasting portions. It also had amazing fresh doughnuts...I can't imagine a coffee bar being a bad idea for the after 10pm crowd that is gearing up for the dance floor. Here are some of the images I captured from this wedding party delight!

Other themed wedding dessert bars included lemon bars served with lemon cookies, tarts, lemonade, yellow jellies and sweets, while another was themed on Strawberries and dressed beautifully with pink peonies to accent.

I just love this inspiration for a new twist on the candy bar. It allows for so much more variety, texture and creativity.

Hope you enjoyed some of this wonderful inspiration for your wedding!

Toronto Engagement Session - Ottawa Wedding Photographer

Maria is the younger sister of one of my very dear friends from University. I have known her through the years and now I will have the honor of capturing her wedding at the Richmond Hill Golf and Country Club just outside Toronto this Saturday as she marries the love of her life, Joe. There was screaming and jumping and all the things that ladies do when they hear the big news. I felt like I was asked to be in the bridal party- it's so special to me. I can't imagine any other way to be at a wedding other than capturing all the special moments of so many people I personally care about while doing something I love so much. A very special weekend ahead...I am so looking forward to it!  Here are some of the images from their engagement in the Distillery District in Toronto.
