There are so many that I want to share, so I’m going to blog these as the day unfolded and show you some of the highlights

Pre-Wedding

Flowerstalk, Ottawa, provided all the gorgeous flowers for the day!   Lisa is excited about the pomander made up for the flower girl!

and Tania can’t resist the sweet smell of these gorgeous rose bouquets! Seriously, aren’t they just so stunning!

Even the cupcakes had little roses! Precious!

Time to get dressed!  Lisa’s McCaffrey Haute Couture gown was simply divine!

And she looked beyond radiant in it!

There’s no place like home…

The bride with her proud parents!

It’s go time!

A very sweet moment between Lisa and her flowergirl, Roya (love!)

Because I couldn’t resist another bouquet shot!

A quick adjustment before hitting the aisle!

The bridesmaids are ready to go!

Here comes the bride!

I do? Do you?

Making it official!

Sealed with a kiss!

Doing a little happy dance!

and off they go!

one of my many faves!

Woohoo!!

The litle cutie patatooties taking a break from all the excitment!

This car brought back so many memories…4 years ago already!!

Next, onto the Museum of Civilization! The whole bridal party

one of just the guys

and one of the girls from earlier in the day that I really like

I just adore the museum’s architecture!

These next several shots by the water ended up being some of my personal faves!

hehe Hot stuff Jason!! Maybe guys should start carrying the bouquet more often!

love this one too 

Onto the reception–there was so much food! If I were to post a shot of every course, this post would never end!

Of course I have to include a dessert shot!

The tables were beautifully decorated

and the decor consisted of red pomander balls and stunning strings of crystal that hung from black branches–also the work of Flowerstalk!

Everyone was so excited to see and congratulate the bride

and groom

There was some dancing,

some loving stares

and of course some smooching!  (love this shot!)

There were speeches (some of the best and most moving I’ve heard–I was literally getting emotional lol)

a few laughs

and a few tears

and some very special moments shared between family and friends

A family tradition with Lisa and her brothers that I was asked to capture

Look at the picture her brother is holding during the “slideshow”

Jason serenaded his beautiful bride (and all the guests!) with some beautiful love notes!

The daddy-daughter dance–can I just say, I have seen a lot of these, but this one really moved me to tears a bit!! So special!

It is so clear how very proud Lisa’s dad is of her! This is probably my most favourite shot (yes, I have many!)

Of course the mother/son dance is always very special too!

Look how happy she looks! There is so much love between these two families! So refreshing!

A special moment between Lisa and her brother

Jason and his proud papa!

Lisa’s grandpa was the life of the party! The kiddos had to work hard to keep up with him on the dance floor!

Yes, I realize that this is a classic, somehwhat cheesy shot, but they look so cute, don’t they??

a shot in honour of the newly married couple!

Thank you Lisa and Jason for an amazing day! I wish you nothing but many years ahead with as much laughter and love as shared on your wedding day!

I’ll start with this one because it’s one my favourites! There’s just something about a plain, stone wall that makes such an effective backdrop.  They’re totally cute, right!

 Looking all cute and in love on the porch

Wasn’t sure how these shots would look, but they ended up being looking great!  The two of them were definitely having fun and it shows in the photos!

 Thank you Hailey and Pierre…sorry Walmart! ;P
