Adele and Joel’s wedding at Wilderness Tours was one that we looked forward to.  Although we had only briefly met Adele and her posse at the Ottawa Wedding Show, we had an instant connection with her.  It’s not often that we are so drawn to clients and naturally we were thrilled that she had chosen us to photograph their wedding.  We learned quite a bit about them in that short time which led to much anticipation in the months leading up to their big day.

We really enjoy getting to know our clients.  When a wedding day arrives, this knowledge helps us predetermine what our intentions for shooting will be and we can draw on that to tell a more intimate and detailed story.  On this day, we discovered quite a bit. We learned that Joel’s family owned Wilderness Tours and that it had been in their family for quite some time.  It was great to see the entire family’s involvement in the resort and how much it meant to them.  It was apparent that family was important as this was one tight unit!

As this was our very first time to the resort, Joel and Adele’s tour guide instincts quickly kicked in as they gave us a million and one ideas as to where we could take them.  Their suggestions were spot on!  All before the brief storm came barrelling in and left just as quickly as it arrived.

Honestly, if every wedding could be like this, life would be a dream.  I say this often and I’m realizing that most of our weddings are exactly that.  We’re so lucky to work with amazing couples.  It certainly makes our job a gazillion times easier and pleasant!
