I can’t tell you how in love with this portrait session I am.  The couple?  So gorgeous. The flowers?  Stunning. That Reem Acra gown?  Totally dreamy.  Joel Bedford did such an incredible job with this one.  Mat and Shannon have been together for a very long time (since 1999)!  and they married in a destination wedding a few years back.  After having their first son, Beau, and returning to Ottawa- the city where they met- it was the perfect time to relive the wedding experience. Justyna and Joel took the lead producing a romantic, luxe portrait session for them.  Feast your eyes, friends…

Michelle VandenBosch designed the stunning textured bouquet of orchids, cock’s comb and dahlias. It’s downright one of the most beautiful fall bouquets I’ve ever laid eyes on.   Shannon’s side braid was accented by a few pretty blooms creating a look of relaxed, natural luxury. 

A big thanks to Justyna and Joel… and many congratulations to Shannon and Mat on thirteen years together!

This wedding is sooo stylish.  Let’s just say, this wedding party makes ‘black tie’ look very, very good.  And the exquisite film photography by Kristopher Orr?  Well it’s sharp, beautiful and utterly timeless.  Cassie and Justin’s woodland storybook wedding is our Real Wedding of the Week!

We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we did! xo

I was so excited when I received this Real Wedding in my inbox.. After taking a peek at the photos, I realized that the groom was a friend of mine from my college days!  Gina and Mark are such a gorgeous couple.. and their city wedding was totally exquisite.  In fact, the bride did such an extraordinary job with planning all of the décor and details… her friends have begged her to help plan their weddings and she’s started up a little business- White City Weddings.  Clary Pfeiffer photographed a few portraits in film.. which I LOVE… but you can also see the full digital and film spread in our Real Weddings Gallery!
