We cannot tell you how excited we are about this wedding! Not only are Anna and Ian really cool people but there is also another special reason why we’re happy…namely because Ian’s father got diagnosed with cancer in september 2008 and everyone feared he wouldn’t make it to their wedding day. Anna and Ian had us come by the house to take some family photos a while back when Mr. Cascagnette was still ill. You can view them here if you have not seen them yet. Not only did Mr. Cascagnette happily attend Anna and Ian’s wedding but he has made a full recovery!!!! How amazing is that? We were beaming when we found out and it made the day that much more joyous.

Boy was the day HOT! It must have been one of the hottest wedding days we have done ever! But that didn’t stop everyone from rocking it out the entire day. The ceremony was in the oldest and largest church in Ottawa, the Notre-Dame Cathedral. We then headed down on Sparks Street and surrounding areas for a really fun and relaxed photoshoot with everyone.

Thank you for a fantastic day with you and your families and we wish you nothing but the best!!! Here are some highlights from your special day, enjoy:

We’re back! And today we bring you another adorable little family…Christina, Mitch and their two rambuncious boys Marco and Diego (cool names eh?). Christina and Mitch had their wedding photos done at the Experimental farm, and they suggested to do their family session there! It is a very popular place for portraits but as always we looked for other unique ways to use the space and scenery. There were some beautiful sunflowers, a ton of stunning colorful flowers and we even found a little wagon around back which the boys liked very much!

We had alot of fun with you guys and we hope you enjoy our following favourites of the evening! We know you will cherish these precious moments with your little ones, especially when you look back at these photographs in the years to come! :) We hope Debbie enjoys these, and that they are just what she had imagined and more!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woohoo!!! Finally a Saturday without rain! :) We had a beautiful & sunny wedding day with Kim & Nenad who looked absolutely ravishing!!!

Nenad is Serbian and since Magda and I are Polish, I felt almost right at home when I went over to his house the morning of the wedding. The food, the laughter, the people were all so kind and accomodating! And by accomodating, I mean Nenad’s uncle instantly served everyone, including me some Slivovic (a home made plum brandy) which must have had at least 50% alcohol in it…and this was 10am…I love my job.

While I was enjoying the company of Nenad’s family, Magda was enjoying the company of Kims family at her place. Once Kim was dressed she was asked by her brides maids to have a seat and was handed a lovely bouquet of roses and a card. Of course all this was from Nenad. Then Nenad called and the phone was given to Kim. I was watching all this, and as her eyes welled up so did mine… Nenad named a star after Kim… and he called it “Kimberly Marovac”! How ADORABLE… everyone was in tears…at least I had my camera to hide behind ;)
Getting referrals from old friends off of things like facebook is fantastic because one of Kim’s bridesmaids was my good friend Lunde from back at school, hollaaaaaa!!!! It was so much fun catching up and chatting with her and through her we met some more fantastic people like Kim and Nenad, and not to mention the wedding party who was just so fantastic ;)

We love it when newlyweds are up to trying out various photo oppotunities! We started in the classic Byward Market downtown and then quickly went to a ridiculously awesome abandoned steel train bridge that crosses the Ottawa River. Thank you for trying out all our crazy ideas, we think it was worth it! ;)

The wedding was at the beautiful St. Patrick’s Basilica in Ottawa and the reception at the Hilton Lac Leamy. We were super lucky that the Sound of Light  festival was going on which occurs from August 1st-15th where various countries put on an incredible half hour fireworks show every night! It is recognized as one of North America’s top 100 events! On the night of Kim & Nenad’s wedding we were taken to a little bridge over the water and we watched Italy have it’s turn. It was spectacular to say the least.

Coming from such amazing families and being such nice people, we only wish you the best in your new life together. You have so much ahead of you!!! Enjoy our favourites from the day below… Oh and Nenad.. Slappa da bass, mon! ;) 

 

 

 

 

Goin’ to the chapel and we’re, gooona get maa a aaa rried!

 

 

 

 

Nenad has somewhat of a small obsession with knives and swords, so Kim hooked him up with a sweet Swiss Army pocket knife :)
