Marina + Keith have been planning their wedding day from all the way over in Alberta. They booked their wedding venue without stepping foot in it themselves, and did Zoom and phone meetings/consults with all of their vendors, myself included. I can’t imagine the additional stress the remote planning must have been causing them, but you really couldn’t tell any of that when we finally got to meet in person for their engagement session. They were so calm, chill and down-to-earth, and just a joy to be around.

So, Mother Nature was kind of uncooperative for a couple weekends in October. Which of course meant we had to reschedule this session because of the rain. I think we were all a little nervous and worried that due to the delays we would miss the great fall colours, but luckily for all of us that definitely didn’t happen as their backyard was still stunning! Seriously, this place looked like it was plucked straight of a magazine! But what was even better than that was this adorable family, particularly sweet Little Archer!

Once again, I don’t know where to start when it comes to this wedding. There have been so many wonderful couples this year who have waited so long for their wedding day to come, and Danielle + Trevor were definitely in that list. In fact, I really questioned myself when I went to write up their wedding day Instagram post using their engagement session photo because that session was all the way back in 2018!!

Ottawa Fall Lifestyle Family Session: The Gwilliams

November 15, 2021November 14, 2021by sbeachphoto

I love doing sessions for people we actually know outside of our business life (aka friends). Not only is it an extra way I get to hang out with awesome people, but it also means the sessions are just so easy breezy. And in the case of Jessica + Jason, and their adorable little one Lena, it also meant that Kaylee got a play date with her boyfriend Gus.

O M freaking G, guys, this session was seriously amazing! Truth be told, I wasn’t in the greatest mood when I left my house for Erica + Matt’s session. All I really wanted to do was stay home and watch one of my favourite TV shows while I sifted through my most recent edits. Nothing was really wrong, it was just one of those days that I thought I would rather be on my own. But yeah, I was very wrong as not only was this location stunning (and just got better the further we got along the trail), but these two were just the bestest ever to hang out with!
