I’ve been playing in Photoshop with Chris’ portraits again. This photo took me about 45 minutes to do (it was the first time I have done this) and I am pretty happy with how it came out – and as an added bonus, so is Chris!

Dave and I don't really do Valentine's day or Valentine's day gifts. ❤️⠀ .⠀ We do sometimes do the day after Valentine's day though --- you know the day when all the chocolate is half price. That's the day I (and my pocket book) like!⠀ .⠀ How about you - are you a Valentine's Day kind of person?❤️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #sbeachphoto #stephaniebeachphotography #Ottawa #OttawaWeddingPhotographer #ValentinesDay #ValentinesDay2019 #discountchocolateisthebestchocolate

When I first sat down to write this blog post, I thought I might have a hard time figuring out what to write about. I have worked Naomi + Adam and their amazing family so many times now, I thought I must have said all there is to say! But luckily, they are so awesome that each and every time I get to hang out with them I learn a bit more about them. And better than that, I get to see their girls' personalities develop and shine and it really is so truly awesome to witness!⠀ .⠀ Check out the post on our blog: https://blog.stephaniebeachphotography.com/⠀ (or through the link in our bio)⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #sbeachphoto #stephaniebeachphotography #Ottawa #instalove #instafamily #instababy #instanewborn #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #myhappyplace #newbornphotography #lifestylenewbornsession #lifestylenewbornphotography #OttawaFamilyPhotographer #OttawaFamilyPhotography #sbfamily #lifestylefamilysession #sbcouple

Why does your photographer need your invitation? For stuff like this!! I created this image for Kristen + Chris using her shoes, invitation, a little ribbon from my detail bag and her dress! That's right, everything is literally sitting on part of Kristen's dress (which is sitting on top of the hotel bed).⠀ .⠀ Want wedding detail images to include your stationary? There are two options for #sbcouples - either put a set aside and keep them handy for me on the big day, or mail us a set and I will bring them along!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #sbeachphoto #stephaniebeachphotography #sbbride #sbweddings #stephaniebeachbride #stephaniebeachweddings #sbcouple #stephaniebeachcouple #Ottawa #OttawaWeddingPhotographer #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #findthelight #lovethelight #myhappyplace #wedding #ottawawedding #EngagedinOttawa #detailsdetailsdetails #itsallinthedetails

Oh my goodness guys - Shannon + Erin's wedding was A.freaking.MAZING!! Honestly, everything about it made me so deliriously happy! And it did so in the windchill-filled, -40 degree, winter weather, it was just that good!⠀ .⠀ But in case you don't believe me, you should definitely go check out their blog post because this wedding day just got better and better as the day went along.⠀ #marrymrmurphy⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Check out the post on our blog: https://blog.stephaniebeachphotography.com/⠀ (or through the link in our bio)⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue: @templessugarbush⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Prep Venue: @brookstreetott⠀⠀ Hair: @topknothairstylist⠀⠀ Make-Up: @artistrybyjacquie⠀⠀ Bridal Gown: @sindersbridalhouse⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bridesmaid's Dresses: @davidsbridal⠀⠀ Bridesmaid's Wraps: #bridalbyalmor⠀⠀ Groom & Groomsmen's Suits: @tiptoptailors⠀⠀ Bouquets & Boutonnieres: Aunt Mary Jane 💐⠀⠀ Donuts: @mavericksdonuts⠀⠀ Officiant: Allison Adamovitis from @allseasonsweddings⠀⠀ Invitation Designer: @ehueston⠀⠀ Wedding Favours: #FergusonTreeNursery⠀⠀ DJ: @mobilemusicservices⠀⠀ Photography: @sbeachphoto⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #sbeachphoto #stephaniebeachphotography #sbbride #sbweddings #stephaniebeachbride #stephaniebeachweddings #sbcouple #stephaniebeachcouple #Ottawa #OttawaWeddingPhotographer #instalove #instanature #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #findthelight #lovethelight #myhappyplace #EngagedinOttawa #hitched #groom #bride #married #justmarried #wedding #winterwedding #winterinottawa #winterbride

I am, without a shadow of a doubt, a dog person! To be more precise - I am a puppy person because I call all dogs, no matter their age or size, puppies! Don't get me wrong, cats are great, and I love watching videos of them pushing things off tables for seemingly no reason (tell me I'm not the only one?!), but dogs will always have my heart! Especially retrievers like Hunter here! Their fluffiness and that permanent smile on their face just gets me every time!!⠀ .⠀ How about you 🐕 🐶 or 🐈 🐱?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #sbeachphoto #stephaniebeachphotography #sbbride #sbweddings #stephaniebeachbride #stephaniebeachweddings #sbcouple #stephaniebeachcouple #Ottawa #OttawaWeddingPhotographer #instalove #instabeauty #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #myhappyplace #sbengagement #stephaniebeachengagement #engaged #Ottawaengagement #shesaidyes #EngagedinOttawa #detailsdetailsdetails #itsallinthedetails #petsatengagementsessions #dogsatengagementsession #instadog #instaretriever

So I've had some interesting driving adventures while getting to the last few engagement sessions I've shot. For example, on the way to the @millofkintail for Natasha + Jon's session, I popped a tire. I was getting onto the highway and bam, no more tire. 🚙 Luckily, since I plan to arrive early to pretty much everything, the half hour it took to fix the tire and switch vehicles with Dave (I didn't really want to drive around on the donut for the rest of the day), meant I was only about 10 minutes late for the actual session. But boy-oh-boy, it really wasn't the way I wanted to start things off. Geeze!⠀ .⠀ But I will say, getting to spend the next couple of hours with these two sweethearts made everything better! And even better, the weather ended up cooperating for us and it was actually pretty warm so standing around without their coats wasn't too bad. 🙂⠀ .⠀ Hopefully your driving adventures this winter have been far less interesting and frustrating than mine! Side note, anyone need a tire with a huge gash in it?⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sbeachphoto #stephaniebeachphotography #EngagedinOttawa #winterengagementsession #sbbride #sbweddings #stephaniebeachbride #stephaniebeachweddings #sbcouple #stephaniebeachcouple #Ottawa #OttawaWeddingPhotographer #instalove #instabeauty #instanature #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #findthelight #lovethelight #myhappyplace #sbengagement #stephaniebeachengagement #engaged #bridetobe #groomtobe #Ottawaengagement #shesaidyes #millofkintail

I'm headed out later today for another winter engagement session and of course, yet again, it’s supposed to ice rain later. BUT, that's okay because #sbcouples are troopers and we are going to power through and get some gorgeous images - I just know it!! ⠀ .⠀ Are you heading out into the cold today or staying bundled up inside?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #sbeachphoto #stephaniebeachphotography #sbbride #sbweddings #stephaniebeachbride #stephaniebeachweddings #sbcouple #stephaniebeachcouple #Ottawa #OttawaWeddingPhotographer #instalove #instabeauty #instanature #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #findthelight #lovethelight #myhappyplace #EngagedinOttawa #ringbling #detailsdetailsdetails #itsallinthedetails #engagementring #diamondengagamentring #diamondring

Winter in Canada can be pretty harsh, and winter in Ottawa can be even worse! Now, I know there are a lot of cold places in the world, and Ottawa is not really known to be the absolute coldest (although for at least two days this year so far it has been - brr), but when you are standing outside among the cold and bitter wind, the weather can get to you, no question about that. This is even more true when you are doing all this without wearing a coat - just ask Chloe + Jonathan!⠀ .⠀ Would you stand around in the winter without your jacket and warm gear on to get the shot?⠀ .⠀ Check out the post on our blog: https://blog.stephaniebeachphotography.com/⠀ (or through the link in our bio)⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sbeachphoto #stephaniebeachphotography #EngagedinOttawa #winterengagementsession #sbbride #sbweddings #stephaniebeachbride #stephaniebeachweddings #sbcouple #stephaniebeachcouple #Ottawa #OttawaWeddingPhotographer #instalove #instabeauty #instanature #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #findthelight #lovethelight #myhappyplace #sbengagement #stephaniebeachengagement #engaged #bridetobe #groomtobe #Ottawaengagement #shesaidyes

Last year I posted our very first Behind the Scenes (BTS) 📷 blog post and it was apparently really popular with all of you! I was super nervous and pretty apprehensive about posting it as I am a pretty self-conscious person but I did it and I am doing it again this year!! That's right folks, it's time for some BTS photos from 2018!! Let me know what your favourite moment was in the comments 🙂⠀ .⠀ WARNING: this blog post is one of my longest to date - but it's filled with some great moments!⠀ .⠀⠀ Check out the post on our blog: https://blog.stephaniebeachphotography.com/⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #sbeachphoto #stephaniebeachphotography #sbbride #sbweddings #stephaniebeachbride #sbcouple #stephaniebeachcouple #stephaniebeachweddings #Ottawa #OttawaWeddingPhotographer #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #myhappyplace #bts #btswedding #btsweddingphotographer #btsphotography #behindthescene #behindthelens #behindthecamera #recap2018 #2018 #2018recap #weddingphotography #yearinreview
