Ottawa Wedding Photographer
Kim and Tom tied the knot at Orchardview on what was supposed to be a huge day of Thunderstorms, turned out to be a day we dodged the rain. Funny things always happen during weddings too…the groom (god love him) dropped the unity candle into the river. One of the guests saved the day and rescued it out after a few tries. However, the shot I got from it was priceless and something I think they will always look back on and remember:

Photography Tip: Some people with dslr’s always ask me “what is the best all round lens to take with me?” In my opinion, it should be one that covers the most varied situations – I would suggest a zoom that covers from near and far away. I use 70-200mm and I use it for 95% of each wedding. Of course, prices vary :0 However, if you want a specific lens for your camera, just give me a shout and I will help out.
Wedding Tip: ask your guests to enjoy your wedding ceremony “unplugged” – too many times guests think they need to get 1000 pictures of you during the vows. Do you know how many times I have witnessed a parent watch their child get married through a viewfinder? Frankly, I find it upsetting. BE IN THE MOMENT! Have your officiant asked guests to put away their cameras during the ceremony and enjoy the moment through their own eyes. If you do this, I guarantee you will get better pictures because I have had countless images ruined due to guests (aka Uncle Bob’s) walk in front of me to get their own shot, push me out of the way to get their own shot, or use their flash and ruin a shot I just took.
