When you think about your wedding photos, your mind probably goes to the bigger moments—your first look, the walk down the aisle, or sunset portraits. Flat lays might not be the first thing that come to mind, but I think they deserve thought and care. These quiet, beautiful images tell a more subtle part of your wedding story. They often reflect your personality as a couple and the intentional choices you made to shape such a special day. If you’ve ever wondered what to include in your wedding flat lay, this is where those thoughtful details really shine.

Suzanne and Kevin’s retro-themed wedding at Lago Bar & Grill was not only surrounded by views of the Ottawa River — it was a celebration of two cultures beautifully coming together. Their wedding was also featured in Confetti Magazine.

At its core, documentary-style photography is about finding moments, not creating them. It’s about observing the day as it unfolds, understanding the narrative, and capturing it in a way that feels emotionally honest. These are photos you’ll want in your wedding gallery in those hidden moments throughout your day, the ones you might not think to ask for, simply because you couldn’t have planned them.

Planning the biggest event of your life is no easy feat. There are so many things to think through and make decisions on in order to create a smooth plan for the day or weekend. One of those things you have to think through is to create a wedding day timeline that will help you navigate each part of your celebration properly.

When it comes to creating a truly elevated wedding aesthetic, the right combination of setting, styling, and experience make all the difference. This intimate wedding at La Baronia Castle in Barcelona, Spain was a great example of doing it right.

We’ve had the privilege of photographing at some truly stunning venues that we believe are well worth the investment.

After photographing weddings at Le Belvédère over the last few seasons, I can honestly say it’s one of my favourite venues in the Ottawa area. Yes, the view is absolutely stunning, there’s a reason it’s called “Le Belvédère” aka “the view”, but what truly sets it apart is how well they treat everyone — from the couple and their guests to us vendors.

A great wedding planner can be a significant investment, but I believe they’re worth every penny. Their vendor knowledge helps you find budget-friendly options and cost-saving opportunities all the while they handle negotiations, gather multiple quotes, and help you stick to a reasonable budget. They keep track of expenses, monitor payments, and provide regular updates to keep you on track and so much more.
