It was a true pleasure to be part of Allison and Adriano’s special day. They chose a romantic 90’s movie-inspired theme for their special day, blending classic elements with personal touches that captured the essence of their modern wedding in Ottawa. Minimal, tasteful, and timeless—those three words perfectly sum up this beautiful event at The Marshes Golf Club.

The couple picked The Marshes Golf Club for their Ottawa wedding, and it had that perfect ‘Runaway Bride’ vibe they were looking for. We took some time to candidly capture the bride’s prep, focusing on the details of her accessories, which were accented with white flowers provided by Sage Florals. If you’re hiring a florist for your wedding soon, ask them to provide a small sample of florals for your photographer on the day-of. We can use these to style photos like this and they’re perfect for drying and having as a wedding day keepsake later. Sage always does this and we’ve truly appreciated it every time because flowers are one of our favourite things to photograph.
The ceremony for this modern wedding in Ottawa was held outdoors in the garden. A black-and-white welcome sign with a champagne tower drawing welcomed the guests. Adriano looked sharp in his classic black tux, eagerly awaiting his bride.
Allison appeared in the most stunning A-line wedding dress with floral lace, an open back, square neckline and a dreamy long train designed by Martina Liana. As she walked down the aisle, a few guests couldn’t help but shed happy tears, which of course we had to capture on camera for the couple to see later.
The reception for this modern wedding, took place inside the reception area at the venue, and Sage Designs outdid themselves with the decor. The table settings featured white florals and tall white candles in glass holders. Each table had a cute black card that read “Can’t hurry love” to indicate the table numbers. Guests could also enjoy instant photos and have some fun in the LexiBooth!
After dinner and speeches, it was finally time for the cake-cutting moment. Jules Cakes crafted an adorable white mini-cake topped with red cherries.
Capturing candid moments that you’ll cherish for years is what we do best. If you or someone you know is looking for a documentary-style photography team, we’d love to connect!
