Anne Marie and Will are an awesome couple who I had the pleasure of photographing in a Wedding party September 2012 at Strathmere Inn!
When I suggested a sunset engagement shoot, Anne Marie said that was exactly what she was going for and leading up to the day I kept my eye on sunset time; I'd like to think we got pretty lucky with a nice clear day where the sunset light was beautiful.
Chateau Laurier is a spot with beautiful stone but it tends to be crawling with tourists.. and me on any given day
Infront of the Parliament buildings; trying to put a unique spin on a highly photographed landmark here in Ottawa.
Very cool to be able to include your daughter in your engagement session!
Very cool shot looking into the Ottawa River at sunset!
this photo of Kaila cracks me up every time I see it!
And we had to include what I call the "Modern family photograph"!
Can't wait for their upcoming beautiful country themed wedding at Lone Star Ranch. They have a few really unique ideas including a ton of decorated jars, so Anne Marie sent out a message to save your (nice) pasta jars, so I show up to the session with a bag of jars!

Why do an engagement session?
With today's use of digital cameras and "selfies" most couples wont have professional photography before their wedding day. It's a great way to get to know how you like to be photographed, what your "good side" is, and to develop inside jokes and details that will help photography run smoothly on the wedding day so you use your time wisely!
Also, you can use these images for a different spin on the traditional guestbook, on a wedding website, or to display in your home.
