Parliament Hill Engagement Session: Rebecca + Keith, Sneak Peek

parliament-hill-engagement-session-Stephanie-Beach-Photography-Peace-Tower-stairsWe have had quite a few engagement sessions that had to be moved due to the extra rainy seasons this year and Rebecca + Keith’s session was definitely one of them. Their engagement session was postponed from a super rainy, dreary day to a slightly chilly, but occasionally sunny one.

Happy Anniversary Sandra + Hector

Downtown Ottawa Wedding Stephanie Beach PhotographyIt 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!
