Mandy and Dean | Beautiful country wedding | Chesterville | Ottawa Wedding Photographer

Ahhhhh country weddings, love, love, love!

Mandy and Dean are high school sweethearts that fell for each other during gym class broom-ball. They were married at St Peter's Lutheran Church in Williamsburg and pulled out all the stops for a fantastic true country styled reception held at Mandy's family farm in Chesterville. The 'barn', for their reception, looked amazing
 
Something quite special about these two. I was thrilled to be a part of their day.

It's a pure,true love...two fabulous people starting their lives together. Enjoy these.

Mandy and Dean Engaged! | Wedding photographer Winchester Chesterville Russell Ottawa

Have we had enough warm weather for me to post a really cute engagement session with a really cute couple I did this winter?! I think so! Mandy and Dean are getting married next month, I loved this session, Mandy called me a month or so before the session to tell me Dean lost his front tooth playing hockey, he had a temporary one in time for the shoot but we had a little fun without it too, see below.

 I can't wait for this country wedding!

Fiona and Scott Married | The Marshes | Wedding Photographer Ottawa

Fiona and Scott met online, yes online dating does work! Plenty of Fish no less!  Their first date was at Gelato's and Fresco's (BEST scallops in Ottawa) and five years later he proposed and she said "yes". Their wedding was beautiful despite mother nature not co operating at all.  

The wedding party was rained on, blown around and half frozen during their pictures, except for one rogue umbrella in one picture (look below) you can't tell.  They were troopers! 

 Here is a little of their wedding day in Fiona's words:

"Our wedding day went slower then I thought. I relished in the time I had with my girlfriends while getting ready. Just enjoying the moments spent laughing about all things girly. I was the fifth girlfriend to get married this past year, so I think we were all just excited to be celebrating ONE more time until our lives went 'back to normal'. Having our closest friends and family all together really made the day magical for us.."

They were married and held their reception at The Marshes Golf Club
