Isabelle + Jérôme

Mike — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 20:48:49 +0000

I had the pleasure of meeting Isabelle and Jérôme two years ago at the wedding of Isabelle’s Sister Nathalie. At their wedding I took a great photo of Isabelle and Jérôme, and it’s still one of my favourites (can you tell why I nicknamed her “Demi”? :

Fast forward to this weekend, and I had the great pleasure of photographing them as they celebrate their marriage in old Quebec City. Their reception was held at the Auberge St-Antoine, an elegant hotel overlooking the St Lawrence river.

Their ceremony was held at the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, a church whose construction began in 1687. As soon as I walked into the church and saw the model ship hanging from the ceiling (you can see it in the third image below), I was hit with a flood of memories from way back when…when I was in grade 7, I took a school trip to Quebec City, and part of that trip was a walking tour of Old Quebec.

Then we played around in Old Quebec, despite the rain and very strong winds (Isabelle, you are a trooper!)

Then it was back to the Auberge St-Antoine. This hotel is actually made up of a series of historic buildings linked together, yet maintaining their independent personalities. You’ll see the variety of rooms below.

A fabulous wedding for a fabulous couple!

Miranda + Jason get Married

I met up with Jason And Miranda at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel, where Miranda was putting the finishing touches on her dress. The best part about weddings in downtown Ottawa is that there are so many options for interesting photography. We went wandering around Sparks Street for a while, the headed out to play around behind the Supreme Court. Nice views back there Their ceremony was emotional for both of them, and they are clearly crazy for each other.

Congratulations guys!

Monique + Andrew

I started out with Monique at Scissors Salon in the market, and then we went back to her room at the Courtyard Marriott to get ready. I met up with Andrew and pretty much all the guests outside, and we proceeded to the Basilica on foot, though the Market, led by a bagpiper ? Following the service, we messed around downtown and then headed to Strathmere for the reception. Whew!
