When my best friend, Inoka, told me that her sister, Renu, was having a wedding reception in Ottawa after tying the knot in Dominican Republic, I immediately booked my weekend off from shooting weddings. I wasn’t going to miss this party! And what’s a party without a whole bunch of family and friends from in, around and out of town? Made for a great crowd. With yummy food everywhere. Music you can really dance to. Yes, even with a sari on! And speaking of sari, I headed over to Renu’s “camp” before the party to get fitted with a nice navy blue one that Inoka brought for me (thank you again). I hung out with the ladies – the shower was non stop, the hair dryer and curling iron were in heavy rotation, there was a hint of hair spray and nail polish in the air, and a bit of steam from all the delicate saris. The house was packed with people and I had fun taking photos of everyone getting ready! For this post though, I wanted to dedicate it to these two beautiful ladies – Renu and and her beautiful daughter, Jaidyn. Check out a few of my faves!

Mike and Marlene’s story started almost two years ago. And it wasn’t long after Mike met Marlene that he realized he’d met his match. The girl he wanted to marry. His plus one. The one. Flash forward to their wedding day…The happy couple were surrounded by the people they love, their wonderful family and all their friends. I was honoured to have been chosen to photograph their special day and I wish Mike and Marlene the absolute best! Here are some of my faves.
