Emily and Jeff's Wedding

Emily and Jeff are the sweetest couple you can imagine.  We had so much fun working with these two at their romantic and playful wedding this past Fall!  Emily and Jeff are friends of ours and we couldn't have been more thrilled that they asked us to be a part of their day. Emily and Jeff were lucky to have one of the last warm weather days for their outdoor wedding at Brookfield Zoo.  We absolutely loved visiting the exhibits and photographing them and their hilarious bridal party!

Please enjoy a few of our favorite images from their sweet day:

Their purple and teal color scheme was just perfect, and we adored all the of Jess and Luke's simple details during their reception at the Ottawa Boat Club.

Gwen and Patrick's Wedding

It's been a while since our last post, but we have a good excuse!  Meet Milo Joel, our perfect and beautiful third-born son.  He was born on December 12th, weighing 8lbs and measuring 21.5" long.  We are completely over the moon for him and have been enjoying our time getting to know this precious little man. milo

We are now ready to get back into the swing of things, and bring you more wedding prettiness!

So, without further adieu, take a peek at Gwendalyn and Patrick's wedding that was chock full of gorgeous inspiration!

Gwen and Patrick had a sweet, heartfelt ceremony filled with love and laughter.  We had so much fun doing their outdoor portraits, despite the wind!  They and their bridal party were so much fun to work with!

Their pretty reception at Blumen Gardens was overflowing with all the things we love, including twinkle lights and macaroons!

Take a look at a few of our favorite images from their sweet day:

Rhian and Cameron's Wedding

Rhian and Cameron had a beautiful early-Autumn day for their wedding at the Emerson Creek Pottery and Tea Room.  Their rustic theme was accentuated with the perfect amount of glamor and sweetness.  Their wedding colors of ivory, navy and gray were beautifully complimented by their choice of flowers.

We loved the personal touches they added throughout their day, and who can resist a dapper groom with a bolo tie and a bone ring?

Rhian and Cameron's short, sweet and heartfelt ceremony was held outside and we simply adored the wagon that their beautiful one year old daughter was wheeled in with!!

We had so much fun with this couple, and are excited to share a few of our favorite images from their day:

Carolyn and Brock's Wedding

Carolyn and Brock had such a lovely and sweet wedding a few weeks ago. We absolutely loved their color selections of peach, mint green and gray!  So beautiful!

Carolyn's jaw-dropping lace gown was so perfect for her, and we can't get enough of those incredible Badgley Mischka pumps!

After their perfect ceremony at St.Hubert's Church, we spent a while doing portraits at the Graue Mill in Hinsdale before heading over to the Hyatt Lodge for their amazing, laughter-filled reception!  Their entire day ran without a hitch due to their lovely Event Coordinator, Lauren, from Ryan Alexander Events!

We had so much fun working with these wonderful people, and wish them a lifetime of happiness!  Please take a look at a selection of our favorite images from their day!
