Wedding | Steven and Jaime

On May 8, Soulmates Jaime and Steven, tied the knot.

It was an absolute honour to be their photographer for their gorgeous wedding.  Married at the beautiful St. Anthony's church in Ottawa with their precious little girl Olivia, and their family and friends around them.

I have known Jaime and her brother Derek since I was 14. I was their babysitter some Friday nights and for a whole summer one year, in The 'Gower'.  We had a lot of fun together-they were really cute!

Life flies by, flash forward 20+ odd years and once again through the wonders of Facebook, I reconnect with Jaime. Last summer I met her incredibly sweet and genuine fiancee Steven, and photographed them with their newborn bundle; Olivia, when she was just a few days old.

So beautiful, so romantic and so fun! 

How they met, in their own words.

Jaime:
So for 3 months I refused to date him...when he left for xmas holidays I realized that I really missed him and maybe I did want to date him. We had met through some friends while in college, he stayed my friend and never tried anything 'til I was ready. We hung out almost everyday....we were best friends.

Steven:
I met her and thought "wow who is this girl?".   She was kinda cocky and didn't take any crap from anyone. We hung out with the same friends for a bit and when everyone went home for Xmas holidays we were all by ourselves hanging out for a few days until I left. I knew if I waited it out she would realize what a catch I was! I knew right away we would be together a long time. I just needed to convince her.
