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

Wedding Photographer Ottawa | Nicole and Brett Married | National Arts Center Wedding

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.
