Destination Wedding

{Iva & Radomir- Married in Montreal} Ottawa Wedding Photographers

Iva and Radomir had a fun filled day surrounded by family,  friends and the best of Serbian tradition.  The day started with the selling of the bride, where Iva’s brother in-law was purely hilarious as the pregnant “man-bride”, but much to Radomir’s delight, his beautiful bride emerged when the price was right. Then after some festivities at the bride’s house it was off to Montreal where they were married at the Serbian Orthodox Church in Westmount, followed by a photo session in Old Montreal (La Vieux Port) for wedding photos. An after ceremony gathering at the mother of the groom’s house was a celebration and welcome to the new bride with music, festivities and dancing…Oh how much I love the Serbian dancing…was lovely to watch how much love surrounds this couple.

Special thanks to Jon Rennie of Jon Rennie Photography of Toronto for the accompaniment on the day who contributed some stunning images and lovely photojournalistic moments for Iva and Rad’s collection. People often ask me who my favorite photographers are…well he is definately among them…

Here are some of my favorites from the day:

{Destination Wedding -Czech Republic- Katie-Jiri} Ottawa Montreal Wedding Photographers

This is a follow-up post to the earlier preview of some this beautiful and elegant wedding in the Czech Republic. Here is a more comprehensive look at Katie and Jiri’s lovely wedding…

I had the wonderful oppourtunity to shoot a destination wedding in Mariansze Lazne just outside of Prague, Czech Republic with an amazing couple Jiri and Katie. Having traveled all over the world, Katie and Jiri were thrilled to organize their wedding back in the Czech Republic where he was born. They have been together for 9 years since high school and their love for each other is amazing. They were married at Becov Castle and followed with a reception at the gorgeous Esplanade Hotel. Due to my own wanderlust and love of adventure, I was thrilled to accompany them on their day and to capture this truly magical wedding surrounded by their closest family and friends. While just about everything at this wedding was five-stars… this couple was nothing but down to earth and the bride even did the “worm” on the dance floor to open up the dancing for the evening…it was so much fun…I truly hope you enjoy these images as much as I did in capturing them. I wish them an amazing honeymoon as they start their adventure together traveling to other amazing destinations nearby in Italy, France, Austria and Germany.
