Eliza and Salman booked me two years before their wedding date and that meant we had a bit over a year and a half to plan the engagement photoshoot. We wanted unique locations where the couple would feel like themselves but also would make great backdrop for the photos.
Read MoreSome engagement photo shoot locations are just pure classics and no matter how many times I shoot there, they never loose their charm. In Ottawa, one of these locations is the Downtown and especially the Chateau Laurier and Major’s Hill park area with its magnificent view on the Canadian Parliament.

Read MoreHave ever considered having a winter wedding ? When I first started shooting weddings in Canada, I thought no one would get married between December and April but I sure was wrong. I actually grew to really enjoy shooting weddings in the winter because we get the most beautiful light reflecting off the snow and we don't have to fight with tourists over the streets of Old Montreal (a real bonus right here ! ^_^).
