Bean Town Ranch Wedding | Ottawa Wedding Photographer

Valerie and John

Bean Town Ranch was the perfect all-in-one venue for Val and John's country styled wedding. This venue seriously has everything for the best country weddings!

The rain behaved, by stopping each time we needed it to...luckily, and the whole day carried along just perfectly. For those of you have never been to a wedding at Bean Town, things run very smoothly.

  John and Val saw each other before getting hitched, "The First Look".  It was a pretty special moment and their lovely little girl Kyra joined them after a couple of minutes.


Valerie not only grew all her flowers but also made her and her bridesmaids bouquets... the morning of.  Yes, she did, promise.  What a talented and laid back bride. 

The food was delish, the cupcakes to die for, the details-so charmingly country and..... what a party!

Trash the Dress | Ottawa Wedding Photographer | Rae-Anne

Rae Anne and I went to my favourite spots around Russell. One of them being my neighbours barn, where I ended up 3 times in one week, slightly in love with it! Also tried out a new field I am completely in love with too.

Rae-Anne totally rocked this session.

This post is a little bitter sweet as we have been working together from engagement shoot to wedding and now finally her Trash the Dress!

So beautiful, from the inside out.  

Ottawa Photographer | Tanya and Graysson

Tanya is one of the sweetest people I know.  She came into my life when I desperately needed a hair stylist who could take control of my hair! That was a few years ago now, and I have come to realize how special she is as our friendship has grown.  Her little boy Graysson is an absolute delight!

 Thank you Tanya for all the thoughtful things you have done for me and for asking me to take pictures of you and Greysson (there is really no need as her sister is an amazing photographer). I love spending time with you and I love your ideas for our photoshoots! So fun! xo

Trash the Dress Ottawa | Jill loves her dress

A month after her wedding Jill and I set out to do her Trash the Dress session.  Jill loves her dress, and that is putting it mildly.  She told me she wants to wear it all the time!  Too cute!

 Jill also loves soccer.  She coaches her sons team and wanted to bring her soccer ball and cleats for some fun shots....so off we went.  The fields were packed as they are almost every night during the summer here in Russell.  So amid the questioning stares from some soccer moms, dads and players we found a section of empty field and headed over. So. Much. Fun!

Disclaimer: no wedding dresses were harmed during the photo shoot and the majority of the dirt on it was from the wedding. You have to love country weddings.  Good luck to the dry cleaners they have their work cut out for them with this dress!

Did I mention Jill loves her dress?  She really loves her dress!
