Stewart Park & Downtown Perth Engagement Session: Lindsay + Shawn

Stewart-Park-Engagement-Session-Stephanie-Beach-PhotographyOver the last couple years we have started capturing more and more weddings in the Ottawa Valley. Most of these are in Perth and the nearby area, and I honestly couldn’t be happier about this as the area is absolutely gorgeous!!

The nature in the area is stunning and the little town of Perth itself is so adorable! It also has one of my favourite parks of all time in it – Stewart Park. Which, as luck would have it, happens to be where Lindsay + Shawn wanted to do their engagement session.

Evermore Wedding: Ellen + Graham, Sneak Peek

Evermore-Wedding-Ottawa-Stephanie-Beach-Photography-bride-groom-portrait-wheat-sunsetThere are definitely venues and locations around the city that are on to shoot list and pretty much ever since it opened a few years ago, Evermore has been a venue on that list. So when Ellen + Graham first reached out to me about photographing their wedding there, I was super excited to get a chance to capture a day at this stunning venue. But then I got to meet and chat with this wonderful couple, and my excitement quickly changed from being venue-based to being all about getting to work with these two amazing people as they started their married life together.

Rideau View Golf Club Wedding: Krysten + Jon

Rideau-View-Golf-Course-Wedding-Stephanie-Beach-Photography-bride-groomI mentioned in their sneak peek just how fantastic Krysten + Jon are and how much they had us laughing during their wedding day. I actually brought up the fact that as I was putting together said sneak peek, I scrolled through a few photos in particular that made me laugh, and that happened so many times again as I was editing their session and putting the final touches on everything. I love it when I stumble across a hilarious image, or one that reminds me of such a great day, so thanks guys!

Rideau View Golf Club Wedding: Krysten + Jon, Sneak Peek

Rideau-View-Golf-Course-Wedding-Stephanie-Beach-Photography-bride-bouquetThe weather on the day of Krysten + Jon’s engagement session wasn’t looking the best as I headed out of the house, but in the end it worked out quite nicely. And it was the same leading up to their wedding day. The forecast was calling for not only rain, but thunderstorms on Saturday, and I am so glad it changed (I am thanking the anti-rain dancing that we [and I am sure all the other Ottawa photographers] were doing leading up to the weekend) – although to be honest, I could have done with a little less humidity, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Ottawa Spring Engagement Session: Krysten + Jon

Beaver-Pond-Engagement-Session-Ottawa-Stephanie-Beach-Photography-ringI often get asked by our couples if I just go around town looking for interesting locations – and the answer is yes, yes I do. And the result is a spreadsheet full of location ideas so I can suggest a spot that fits the personalities of our couples. So when I chatted with Krysten + Jon about their engagement session, I had a pretty good feeling that Beaver Pond Trail would be a great place for theirs!
