Museum of Nature Wedding: Jenna + Tim

Their sneak peek was all about their four legged guest, Archer. And, in my opinion, he deserved the attention as he was just so awesome Jenna + Tim’s day. So cuddly, fluffy and soft and sweet as can be – and quite photogenic to boot! He wasn’t named Best Dog for nothing after all.

But the highlight of this wedding day really was the lovely couple themselves. Jenna + Tim are so wonderful and sweet.

Like Dave and I, they had been together quite a while before they got married and you could see right away how comfortable they were with each other. From the moment they saw each other during their first look you could see how much love was in this relationship. And to make all of that even better, they were so amazing in front of our cameras, they truly made our jobs easy.

Their selection of gorgeous venues and amazing vendors added even more ease into our jobs that day. The Museum of Nature truly is one of the most lovely venues in the Ottawa and the combination of rooms Jenna + Tim used for their day was perfect. Their ceremony took place in the Queen’s Lantern, which is also where we did a bunch of their wedding party portraits – all that natural light flooding in is pretty irresistible after all! After they were officially married, they celebrated with cocktails in the Fossil Gallery, a truly unique wedding venue and so much fun for the child in all of us adults. And of course, everyone enjoyed a lovely meal from Thyme & Again and celebrated the night away in the Rotunda.

But honestly, our favourite part of this day truly were the people. Jenna + Tim’s wedding party was not only a gorgeous group of people, but super fun to hang out with as well! Tim’s band of Ryans, and one Dave, were so much fun to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of ladies to pull off so many wonderful images.

This is our second wedding with this family as we were lucky enough to capture Jenna’s sister’s wedding last year, and we were absolutely delighted to join them again to celebrate the start of Jenna + Tim’s married life together.

Thanks to all of the amazing vendors who helped make Jenna + Tim’s day absolutely wonderful:
