Keith + Carla {just a peek}
We had so much fun taking these wedding photos last weekend! So glad that Keith’s brother had pants that fit & matched when Keith realized he’d left his pants at home! If that is the only snag you have on your wedding day people, you are doing well! These two are gorgeously happy together!!
Wedding at the Courtyard - Historic Byward Market - Ottawa Wedding Photographers
Leanne and Eric have a sweet and quiet love between them - you can just see that they truly cherish each other. They were married on a Thursday which was a first for me - but in retrospect- why not?!
The ceremony and reception took place at the Courtyard Restaurant with planner Shannon Kennedy. Leanne's dress was by Olivia Couture -a line recently picked up by the famous Klienfelds Bridal - and it was truly stunning. The lovely florals were designed by Bloomfields and were beautifully composed with varied textures and unique features - and I fell in love with the blue french hydrangeas in the bridal bouquet. Friends came from as near as home and as far as California and Vancouver...who says you can't get people out for a Thursday wedding eh?
Leanne and Eric are surrounded by loving and proud families and steadfast and true friends that will carry them into their new life together. Congratulations to you both- it was an honor to be a part of your beautiful day. Thank you!

Wedding at Eighteen Restaurant-Byward Market - Ottawa Wedding Photographer
Jennifer and Jason found me through their Toronto-based wedding planner and our first meeting took place over the phone, where Jennifer was completing her medical residency in Winnipeg while Jason was completing a fellowship in Texas. It wasn't until a few months later that Jennifer and I would get a chance to meet in person to go through the details of their wedding day at Eighteen where we really hit it off. I felt like I had known Jennifer for years not moments. Her quiet strength, warmth and easy laugh made connecting effortless - and when she told me she wanted to have a glamourous, elegant feel to her wedding - I knew we were a match- 'cause romantic, beautiful and classic are what I do best...and Jennifer brought the glamour without question. I would only learn at the wedding that her soon to be loving husband was formerly known as "Mister Creepy Stares" from Frosh week - obviously Jason was smitten, but it would take quite a while for Jennifer to get close enough to "Creepy" to learn he was going to hold her hand into the future.
I first met Jason a couple of weeks before the wedding for our engagement shoot. We had a fabulous engagement session that was cut short by an abrupt storm that blew my skirt near over my head! I'm talking sudden! Well we were bonded at that point- no secrets there! We sat over a few drinks at The Sidedoor, where I got to know Jason better - I was in intant fan. Jason, it just so happened, used to run a beer tasting website- I just happen to love microbrews and beers from around the world, so we had something fun to chat about. What impressed me most about these two very talented doctors -other than their truly amazing accomplishments - was the depth of their great love for each other - in spite of the trying past few years of residencies, exams and distance - they had finally arrived at the point in their lives where they could take a deep breath, say they "Dog Days are Over" and begin their lives together - in the same city (of Winnipeg) and take in their great new lives ahead.
It has been an honour guys-thank you...this is for you...

Rashida: Children’s Medical Missions Miracle
What a joy it was if you were blessed enough to get to meet little Rashida while she was living her in the United States. She lived just down the road with my cousins, Darin & Kim. This is the story that Kim tells of Rashida…
“Rashida was 9 months old and 11 lbs 4oz when she arrived here from Ghana, Africa. She came to us through an organization called Childrens Medical Missions where for the past 7-8 years they have been bringing children over here to the States to have medical treatment that they would not be able to receive in their own country. Rashida had a bi-lateral cleft pallet and lip and had 2 corrective surgeries while she was here. She was here for a total of 6 months and now weighs 21 lbs and looks absolutely beautiful! What a joy and blessing it was to be able to be her host family. If you would like to know more about this ministry you can go to their website at Childrens Medical Missions West and there it will tell you how you can get involved. You can donate, sponsor a child, or be a host family for a child.”
About a week before Rashida left to go back to Africa with her family, I took their family photos…
Sometimes the things God calls us to do are really painfully joyful… so much joy was brought into this family’s lives by this sweet baby girl… but it’s so hard to say goodbye not knowing if you will ever see her again. One day. In Heaven.
Be blessed sweet Rashida… Go be all that God created you to be! Be blessed Darin, Kim, Courtney, Seth & Stella… for all your gave by God grant you sweet blessings of joy, peace & hope…
Pam
