If there is anything I have learned over the years it is that wedding days can be chaotic and stressful at times. And there have definitely been days where the stress of the couple has passed along to me and gotten me a little stressed out too. But then there are weddings like Nathalie + Marc-Andre’s.

Ottawa Spring Engagement Session: Krysten + Jon
I often get asked by our couples if I just go around town looking for interesting locations – and the answer is yes, yes I do.
