Bleeks and Bergamot Wedding (Ottawa)

Guillaume and Nicholas

SUNSET CEREMONY. Folks. When you look at the ceremony photos from this beautiful wedding you’re going to be floored at how beautiful they are, and here’s why: Nick and Guillaume did dinner first. They had an intimate dinner with their family and wedding party. After dinner the rest of their guests began arriving, they had their ceremony at dusk, immediately followed by couple portraits. This was the first time I’ve ever seen this timeline at a wedding but holy cow do I ever hope this catches on.

Not only did this schedule prioritize the best lighting for photography (yay!), but it also created an opportunity for an incredibly intimate dinner and speeches with their nearest and dearest. It allowed for all of their family photos (and most of their wedding party photos) to be taken before the bulk of their guests arrived. It was just…perfect.

In fact, everything about this day was perfect. Nick and Guillaume are so kind and were incredible to work with. Their wedding was stunning and so so so much fun. Bleeks and Bergamot is such a lovely venue. This wedding was the mid-season moral boost that every photographer craves!

Guillaume and Nick – thank you a million times over for having me out to be a part of a wedding I’ll never, ever forget.
