Ottawa Arboretum Engagement Session: Miranda + Jason

July 3, 2018by sbeachphoto

Ottawa-Arboretum-Engagement-Session-Stephanie-Beach-PhotographySo Dave and I spent a couple days on the rooftop of the Brookstreet Hotel having some fun with Make-A-Wish earlier this month. I’ll be sharing more about all of that (including the photos of course) a little later on this week, but for now, the part I want to share is that I of course got sunburnt. My side of the roof was in the shade for almost the entire day, and I swear I used sunscreen – but for the last 1-2 hours of the event, I was in complete sun on the roof of a very tall building.

I mention this because when I showed up to Miranda + Jason’ engagement session, I made sure I was covered from head to toe (well, from neck to toe) to try and make sure my poor skin didn’t get any worse. And despite how uncomfortable it was to walk around in the sun and heat with long sleeves on, it was made all the better by being able to work with two absolutely marvelous people like Miranda + Jason.

And of course, the fact that Miranda was also sporting some pretty sunburnt skin meant we could commiserate together.

But honestly, I would forget about my discomfort anytime we were actually shooting as Miranda + Jason were a blast to work with! They were absolutely hilarious throughout the entire session and I had so much fun walking around the arboretum with them. In fact, we were chatting so much, that we ended up walking all the way down to the Hartwell Locks across from Carleton University. That’s not a bad thing at all though as we got some great shots down there, but it was a longer walk than I was originally planning for the session.

I am so looking forward to their wedding next year! Because if it is even half as entertaining as their engagement session then it will be so fantastic!

I don't normally share ceremony photos as the sneak peek images, but with this gorgeous venue as their backdrop I just couldn't resist!! And of course, I have to share a veil toss photo along with it for good measure!
It's the first day of Fall and we're celebrating it by capturing a wedding I just know is going to be equal parts stunning, fun and just plain awesome!!⁠
I mean, you all know I am obsessed with a cathedral length veil so you know I was super duper happy when I saw Alex's gorgeous veil. But honestly, a veil swoop picture isn't any good without a stunning couple and genuine happiness - and these two had that in spades!!⁠
Fall Mini Sessions are officially open for everyone to book! ⁠
So I have been slacking when it comes to posting Charlotte's monthly photos. In fact, I haven't posted any of them since she was 3 months old. Oops.⁠
⁠Fall Mini-Sessions are officially happening on October 14, 2023!!⁠
At this point I really shouldn't be surprised when Kirsten + Kyle absolutely nail their session. I mean, they've been doing it since I first got to work with them for their engagement session over 4 years ago. And yet, I am always blown away by how awesome they are in front of my camera --- and even better, they are adding another little cutie to their family!!⁠
Not going to lie, sometimes the buttons on the back of wedding dresses are a real struggle and no tricks of the trade can make them easier.⁠
Baby's Luke's Mom had a vision in mind when it came to his session and thankfully we were able to get the photos to match it. This darling little babe was an absolute rockstar during his entire session and I am so excited about his photos!⁠
