Sarah and Andrew’s Ottawa wedding
Over the years Sarah's path and mine came very close to connecting. We both worked as photographers for the same company in Ottawa, even overlapping for a time though never meeting. As well we both worked for the member services desk at Mountain Equipment Co-op at different times. So when she contacted me in Vancouver to cover her wedding day, part of the fun was finding out about all these random friend intersections!
Their wedding was a beautifully intimate one at Restaurant Eighteen in the market of dowtown Ottawa. And by odds there guest count was eighteen people, a perfect fit. Here's some of my fav's from their day.
I was soo happy this little nook of mirrors was in the restaurant. It was -20 that day and outside was not an option!
And here's the suave collected Andrew.

Malcolm and Sarah
Ahh, Malcolm and Sarah, what to say about these guys. Maybe a little history first. They're two of my favourite people, and we've shared tonnes of adventures together over the years. Above on the left is them on a 4 day hike in Gros Morne National Park NewFoundland, and on the right, cycling in Quebec. They're both go-getters in life, motivated and driven in work and play with passions all over the map. Either going 110% or not at all because of an injury, that pretty much sums them up as athletes. Ever the givers with huge hearts, they're a couple that I'm proud to call my friends. Sounds cheesy but those who know them, know what I mean.
In a couple weeks from now Sarah is heading to Cambodia on a 14 month volunteer placement with CUSO-VSO. She'll be using her education as a dietician doing work in small villages in the north of the country. Getting hitched before the big adventure was really important, and while you'd never guess it, their wedding came together in under four months.
Malcolm and Sarah: It was an enormous honour to share in your most special day. I hope you enjoy this snapshot of your wedding through my eyes!

Katie and Jamie Calabogie Lake ON
While in Ontario recently I had the chance to work with fellow photographer/friend's company Fleischer Photography. I met the couple briefly before the wedding and wow, these guys were the bomb. With so many things happening at a wedding it's easy for couple's to get overwhelmed making sure everything runs smoothly, or worrying that everyone is enjoying themselves. Jamie and Katie balanced having fun - and managing fun like an art. Their wedding ran beautifully and they carried the pulse of it the whole day through. Here are some favs of my interpretation of their amazing fall wedding day.
Katie has a stunning Audrey Hepburn look, and the relaxed confidence to go with it.
Jamie's energy is booming! You could tell he was living his dream that day.
Luv this one!

Thanks for enduring the cold so well you guys, your's was an inspiration!
