Darlene + Derek: Wedding!
Written by Magda and Bartek on May 29, 2008 – 9:54 pm - It was such a beautiful and sunny day. The breeze made it so comfortable, it wasn’t too hot or too cold the sun was completely on our side. We went to St. Patrick’s Basilica for the ceremony and then we headed over to Ottawa’s Experimental Farm for some fun portraits. As usual, due to this popular portrait destination, there were a few other brides and photographers at the same time. Everyone got along just nicely, plenty of beautiful trees, grass, gardens and barns for everyone! ;)
Thanks for letting us be part of your day, we wish you the best in your life together! Enjoy these highlights of your day…
Built in 1875, St. Patrick’s Basilica was just stunning!
Check out the wicked door and details!
The guys. Nuff said.
The girls, among beautiful blooming lilacs:
Magda’s trusty chalk comes in handy sometimes ;)
Here’s the photo I was taking while sitting on the tree as mentioned in this post! See, I wasn’t just monkeying around!
We asked Dar & Derek to pose oh so vintage…and they nailed it! We love it…
Sometimes lying in the middle of the road pays off. Magda will do anything for the right angle!

Whatever it takes
Written by Bartek on May 26, 2008 – 10:30 pm - As we’re editing the latest wedding from last weekend we realized that both of us seem to do whatever it takes to get the shot. Even if it takes climbing a tree to get it! We’re very spontaneous and our energy tends to be through the roof during the day, so during a beautifully green and sunny relaxed portrait session I somehow managed to climb a tree to get a photo of the couple from up high. I sometimes surprise myself…I don’t know how Magda puts up with me sometimes?! ;)
Stay tuned for the photos from the wedding day!

Paula + Nemr: Wedding!
Written by Magda and Bartek on May 21, 2008 – 8:38 pm - Nemr took Paula and his twin sisters on a little trip up Mont Tremblant to admire the view. Unbeknownst to Paula, Nemr had other plans… She had no idea that once they debarked from the gondola he would ask her to be his wife. And so it happened. To this day Nemr constantly surprises Paula with flowers and gifts and his undying love! What girl wouldn’t want to marry a man like that?
We had such a blast with these two and their huge loving families! We were welcomed with open arms which made our day so smooth and wonderful and even though it rained, we captured spectacular raw and genuine moments. There was a window of opportunity when it stopped raining so we hit up some of Ottawa’s most beautiful locations such as the Byward Market, Museum of Civilization (technically not in in Ottawa but in Hull) and Sparks Street. Beautiful orchids and flower arrangements were designed and provided by The Silver Rose and the reception was held at the Centurion Hall.
Thank you for letting us share this day with you! Here are some of our favourite moments of your day…
Check out that couch! Love it!
She looks absolutely stunning and serene at this window:
