Ottawa Wedding Photographers|Barb Cameron

Maggie and John got married yesterday and I couldn’t wait to start editing! That and the fact that there wasn’t a hockey game on last night I always say I have the best clients, but really, I do. Maggie and John are some of the nicest people I have ever met. I was so happy to have captured moments from their wedding day. Here are a few of my fav’s before the ceremony. Their full wedding will be up on my website in a few days.

Destination Wedding Photographer, Dreams Puna Cana

This winter I had the pleasure of travelling with Tara and Bill (and the most amazing wedding party) to Dreams Punta Cana in the Dominican. Not only were they dream clients, the had a dream wedding. The weather was beautiful and I am so happy with the results. Bill and Tara wanted to ensure that they had a photographer who understood their vision for their wedding…something that is so improtant no matter where you say I Do. These are just a few of the results. Subsequent blog posts with follow in the next few days highlighting their wedding. The wedding photos will be posted in full in a week. Click my online galleries to browse through them. I highly recommend this resort if you are considering a Destination Wedding. Sharron is a fabulous wedding coordinator and so easy going. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. You will not be disappointed at all.

Christian and the boys | West Carleton

March 24, 2010

Ottawa Wedding Photographers |Barb Cameron, Photographer

The boys met me at Strathmere for some shots prior to the ceremony. I love it when there is just a bit of craziness in the groomsmen and these fellas surely didn’t disappoint. I loved the peacock touch to the lapel; again, Jen got these from Evelynne at EEEK! Check out her stuff when you get a chance. Christian and Jennifer got married at the West Carleton; the ceiling was beautfiful and added a great design element to the photos. Their ceremony was conducted by Lynne from Exceptional Ceremonies. There is a reason they are on my recommended vendor list….they are really good. I absolutely love how they conduct each and every ceremony.

Margo and Sean’s Ottawa Wedding

October 27, 2009

Ottawa Wedding held at the Crowne Plaza

The Honeymoon suite at the Crowne Plaza is beautiful. Great for Bridal portraits.

Margo and Sean got married this past Saturday in Ottawa at the Crowne Plaza downtown. Despite the rain for most of the day, it was a fantastic and elegant wedding. I am a details girl and what impressed me the most about Margo were her details! I mean this girl could put Martha Stewart out of a job!

The first photo meant a lot because it was a pin sent my Margo’s grandmother from Nova Scotia for her to wear. Unfortunately she couldn’t attend the wedding and this was her way of being there. Very touching moment because all grandmothers are special

Margo’s dress was gorgeous and had just the right amount of detailing on it.

Sean received a pocket watch from Margo as a present on their wedding day. In return, Sean gave Margo beautiful pearl earrings to wear on her wedding day.

Stay tuned for the ceremony shots and pictures from the Museum of Civilization and Parliament Hill!

Stacey and Marc Get Hitched! Part I

October 4, 2009

Ottawa Wedding Photography and Getting Ready

Each wedding is different but Stacey had the most unique veil I have seen! I had so much fun capturing both of their spirits and and giving personality. I big shout out to Erin, Leah, Todd and Steve for being such a fun wedding party and helping us achieve some cool looks.

Stacey and I are avid America’s Next Top Model fans….we even created our own Tyra-ism….I wanted shots of Stacey with makeup being applied….unfortunately we had to pretend (the nature of the wedding day photography)….so we coined the term Fake-up.

Loved Loved Loved this veil. Stacey referred to it as “the nest”…but it went so very well with her dress and gave her an edgy/high fashion look.

She had an amazing smile that just lit up a room!

Beautiful natural light was all that was needed to capture her looking so fabulous!

Melissa and Mike get Married!

September 28, 2009

Getting Ready Bridal Photos

Melissa and Mike got married today! It was at my favorite place, Strathmere! They are such a kind and warm couple and it was fantastic to capture their moments and tell the story of their day. Weddings just bring out the best in people!

Mike wasn’t used to GQ’ing it up but made out quite all right:)
His groomsmen: Don, Kevin and Jason were great guys and a blast to work with!

I am a details oriented girl so I make sure to get all of the details of a wedding.

Melissa was so much fun and so completely organized! This is great to see in a bride! Her relaxed nature made it a breeze to catch the wedding events. Melissa’s makeup was done by Elissa from Ottawa Makeup Artists and as always, she does a bang on job! Makes my life so much easier as a photographer when I know the make up is perfect.

Stay tuned for more tomorrow from Strathmere! I promise to include rainboots, umbrellas and the cutest flowers girls ever seen!

The Wedding of Karen and Marc at Strathmere

September 7, 2009

Strathmere Wedding

Karen and Marc were married at Strathmere this weekend. What a gorgeous day! What a gorgeous bride! Strathmere is of course one of my favorite venues and Alison from Strathmere did an amazing job organzing the event. I love their fountain and always make it a plan to visit during couple shots. Amazingly, I get a different shot every time….this moment was highlighted by a rainbow due to the sun setting in the distance.

I adored my shot from Marie-France and Grant’s wedding a few weeks ago in the wheat field. Even though the wheat was cut, the lighting when the sun goes down is breathtaking in this field and results in a beautiful moment captured for the bride and groom.

One of the nice things about Strathmere (and there are many) are the gardens. In order to get this shot, I often lie down on the ground shooting upward in order to get the structure and the couple.

What a beautiful family!

I love it when a groom looks at his bride with that certain look during the ceremony. It is one of the many emotions I search for when photographing a wedding.

Conversely, I love to see the bride giving the eye to her groom!

I normally take the ring shot in the flowers or on the cake, etc. But this time, I couldn’t decide which to post so I gave you both! Love the sunflowers and they were a perfect choice for this wedding at Strathmere.

Thank you Marc and Karen for a fantastic evening and letting me photograph your wedding!

Marie-France and Grant Part I

August 16, 2009

Getting Ready and Strathmere

Marie-France and Grant got married in beautiful Strathmere but I headed out for some Bridal portraits first. Stunning and sexy are two words to describe this woman! More photos will be uploaded over the course of the next few days along with their love story…

I love the use of negative space when photographing a bride. They had this gorgeous red wall that just made the image pop. Just natural light from a window was used.

Marie-France looked absolutely stunning in her dress! I am a “princessy” girl and love beading and poof! What can I say it is the 80s girl in me! There is no denying that she made a jaw dropping bride.

Just the right amount of attitude for me in this shot…again all natural light

I will always get the group to bend at the waist and bring their chins up…it automatically slims the bodies. Beautiful shot because the family is so close.

What goes with a hot chick…..a hot car! Marie-France had her Uncle drive her to Strathmere in this gorgeous car.

August 10, 2009

Kemptville, Ontario

I had the pleasure of photographying in my home town this past weekend and it was wonderful! Everything was 2-3 minutes away from my house and working with Courtney, Shawn and the wedding party was a dream. I have to give a big shout out to my brave bridesmaid who went into labour at the reception!

First of all, I am very excited about these photos…I have dreamed of photographing a bride with a beautiful piano and my wish came true on Saturday. Courtney, you are stunning!

stay tuned for more over the next few days!

Sandra and Edgar Say I Do

August 7, 2009

Ottawa Wedding at St. Joseph’s

Grace. Class. Elegance.
Three words to describe Sandra and Edgar’s wedding day as well as the characteristics of the bride and groom. What a beautiful couple and a memorable day. Here are some of my favorite’s from the big event…

When I saw Sandra’s dad coming down the aisle with her, I saw his lip tremble and it was very hard not to cry myself. The wedding took place at the beautiful St. Joseph’s Church downtown near OttawaU.

I love this shot. I would love to know what they said to each other during the recessional to make each other laugh.

We headed over to the Museum of Civilization for pictures.

What a great bunch of guys….funny and willing to do anything! The stone steps are one of my favorite backdrops at the museum because of the warmth of the stone.

Loved loved loved the girls. This has to be one of my favorites from the day. I simply adore the reflection in the glass and the angle in which it was taken. Quite often I lie down on my side to get a better angle of the group.

I love this group shot! I try not to do the whole “stand in a line” shot and would much rather prefer to group wedding parties more casually. The result is always so much better.

This is why I love a beautiful veil. Sandra had a veil but also a fresh orchid in her hair which was stunning.

Again…on the ground…with flash to bring out the blueness of the sky.

How cool is this! They were introduced at the reception with a Mariachi Band. Absolutely unique and fun. The reception was at Billings Bridge Estate Museum.
