I hung out with Jess & Matt a week and a bit ago for their engagement shoot around Landsdowne Park. As we were walking, a passerby said “you’re such a beautiful couple” and they are :-)

― A Polish quote

Natasza and John brought a little bit of Europe to a Kanata Golf & Country club a couple of weekends ago. Here’s a little preview for you all.

“You know, people come to Italy for all sorts of reasons, but when they stay, it's for the same two things."
"What?"
"Love and gelato.”
― Jenna Evans Welch, Love & Gelato

I had so much fun photographing Jake and Carolina on their wedding day. These two images are a tiny sneak preview from after the ceremony when we visited their favourite Italian ice cream shop on Preston Street in Ottawa.

“We create our buildings and then they create us. Likewise, we construct our circle of friends and our communities and then they construct us. ”
Frank Lloyd-Wright

I am grateful to have been able to document Shay and Ant's wedding party last weekend. I'll share more 'people' photos later, but this post is all about the building and light. This wedding reception party was a lovely celebration of community, bringing together family and friends. So I thought it this Frank Lloyd-Wright quote fitting.

More photos from Andria and Cody's Engagement shoot in the South March Highlands Conservation Forest in Kanata.

14/09/2024

I had the pleasure of photographing Andria and Cody’s engagement shoot over the weekend in one of their go-to hiking / dog-walking spots, the South March Highlands Conservation Forest in Kanata. Addy and Mason, their gorgeous doggo companions were also present and doing whatever they wanted which was a rewarding challenge :-)

I can't wait for their wedding next year - they have a fairy tale forest adventure planned by the river in Foresters Falls.

To celebrate Notting Hill Carnival in London, UK this weekend, here is a series of photos I took there 11 years ago in 2013. I'm glad to have been witness to the vibrance, energy, and chaos, but I was not a fan of squeezing onto the tube after the event with a thousand other sweaty carnival goers 😅

What is it like to have me as your wedding photographer? I wrote about it here: https://photographersara.ca/candid-wedding-photographer/

As a Candid Wedding Photographer, the goal for me is that each photograph is a testament to the genuine, unscripted moments that define your celebration.

A decade has passed since I took this photo of Ellie at her wedding...lovely memories.

"Memory is the only thing that binds you to earlier selves; for the rest, you become an entirely different being every decade or so, sloughing off the old persona, renewing and moving on. You are not who you were, he told her, nor who you will be." (Sebastian Faulks)

Professional Wedding Photographer - A definition.
It may seem obvious to many how they would define a wedding photographer, but what sets them apart from guests wielding smart phones and how has the profession evolved since its inception?
https://photographersara.ca/professional-wedding-photographer-a-definition/

As a professional wedding photographer based in Ottawa, I saw a massive shift in the industry from 2020 onwards after COVID-19. However, it wouldn't be the first time this industry has reinvented itself.

I am pleased to share my latest blog post that digs into the question of what documentary wedding photography is. In short, this approach focuses on capturing genuine, candid moments that tell the true story of your special day (or days). If you are planning a wedding and seek a photographer who values authenticity and natural storytelling, this article is a must-read.

Looking for wedding reception entertainment ideas? I've seen a few impersonators at weddings and it lifted the energy of the room every time and brought everyone to the dance floor. This wedding had a Vegas theme and they hired an Elvis impersonator for the evening entertainment. It was so much fun to photograph!
