Ottawa Wedding Photography Blog

On March 26, 2014 I had the pleasure of working with the charity Epilepsy Ottawa-Carleton to cover their Purple Day event outside City Hall. In attendance were Cassidy Megan--who created Epilepsy Awareness Day--Mayor Watson, Miss Teen Ottawa Karina Wang, the charity's staff and volunteers, and many of the clients who benefit from their work.

Now that the wedding season is just about wrapping up for me as we head into a new year, I thought I would take the opportunity to play a little catch-up on my blog.

After discovering that I photograph weddings, he then pointed out that perhaps I am one of these sources--that documenting 'good news' is in fact the business every we...

After shooting two weddings at the Britannia Yacht Club, I am somewhat suspicious that moody clouds are simply part of the venue's decor.

Check out my latest Britannia Yacht Club Wedding. T...
