Strathmere Lodge Wedding: Angela + Paul

Strathmere-Inn-Wedding-Stephanie-Beach-Photography-bride-groomThere are so many little things we get to witness throughout each wedding day we are a part of that really lets us know that our couple is such a great fit for one another. And that was the case with Angela + Paul too, like when I would catch one of them staring oh so lovingly at the other when someone mentioned them, the oh so sweet kisses they gave each other all through the day, and of course the immense joy and anticipation they both had before they walked down the aisle to say I do.

Event Photography, Ottawa Conference & Event Centre: Make-A-Wish, Eleventh Annual 3 Wishes Gala

Make-A-Wish-Stephanie-Beach-Photography-event-Ottawa-OCECOnce the gorgeous Fall season is done, so is our regular busy season. As we are primarily wedding photographers, our off-season starts up basically when winter starts to show up and we have far fewer weddings. But it is always such a nice treat to be able to wrap up our busy season by giving back and supporting one of the many wonderful charities in the area, Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, by capturing their annual 3 Wishes Gala.
