It was a year ago that I got to be a part of Sandra + Hector‘s wedding day. Their wedding really was a highlight of our season last year as it was the second time that year that I was fulfilling a location dream of mine from years past. Shooting downtown in Major’s Hill Park and along the locks really showed me just how busy that area is on a summer Saturday. There were so many photographers walking around with their brides and I was ecstatic to be a part of that fantastic crowd!

Winter Scouting
I have mentioned before that I like to arrive early to my shoots, so when Alexandra + Rico mentioned that they wanted to do their engagement session in Downtown Ottawa in and around Major’s Hill Park and Nepean Point, I headed there an hour or so beforehand to scope it out.
Downtown Ottawa Winter Engagement Session: Alexandra + Rico
Christmas time is one of my favourite times of the year. I love getting together with family and friends, sharing delicious food and watching loved ones open the gifts we found for them. Just enjoying the company of loved ones really. That being said, I don’t like the crowds, the endless shopping and the stress that those things bring.

They wanted to capture the beauty that is our downtown core in the winter season and boy oh boy did we have a gorgeous day for it! The sky was blue and the sun was bright, which, if you are a resident of Ottawa you know means it was freaking cold in the shade, but toasty warm in the sun. These two were super fun and cheery and even managed to stay that way even when we were waiting for the sun to set.

Courtyard Restaurant Wedding: Sandra + Hector
We were picnicking in Major’s Hill Park here in Ottawa with my then future in-laws and a few friends. It was a gorgeous summer day and we were having a really nice time. Then my now mother-in-law pointed behind me at a wedding party having their portraits done. I of course thought of how beautiful the bride looked in her dress, but mostly I thought of how much I wanted to be that photographer. I wanted to be shooting a wedding in Downtown Ottawa with a gorgeous bride, her new husband and their super fun bridal party.
