Phillipa Maitland Blog: Wedding Photographer Ottawa | Nicole and Brett Married

I met Nicole and Brett in January 2012 to discuss their August 2013 wedding, we hit it off immediately and I knew they were going to be fantastic to work with, I was right, they were! Their engagement shoot was a blast, their wedding was just amazing and their "Rock the Frock" session (also known as Trash the Dress) was a blast too! (Coming soon!)

Will post images from that winter wonderland photo session soon! Here are some of my favourite images from their day and how they met in Nicole's words. You both did such a wonderful job planning this wedding. Nicole you are beautiful.

There is also a short wedding film of their beautiful wedding day click here <-- a="">

How they met...

Brett and I met back in 2007 - we were both university co-op students working at a public accounting firm. Our cubicles were right next to each other - and apparently most of the office could see the chemistry between us before we even knew it! When we did start dating officially, we still thought we were doing a great job keeping it a secret, but everyone already knew.

We like to think we aren't your typical accountants - from 100 feet above bungee jumping, to 100 feet below scuba diving, we thrive on traveling and adventure! It was after a three and a half month backpacking trip across Fiji, Australia and New Zealand that we knew this was forever - being with the same person for 24/7 for that length of time and on a budget, doesn't always bring out the best in people, but we thrived!

The wedding day was perfect. Our only complaint; that it went by way too fast!

We really enjoyed heading to Heart & Crown for some drinks with the bridal party after the ceremony (during pictures) - it was so nice to have some time to step back and just hang out and enjoy the day with our best friends and each other.
