Strathmere Lodge Wedding Photos

Amanda contacted me to capture her engagement photos after getting engaged on Christmas I was so happy for her. We toughed it out in the cold to create their romantic images. I was so honoured when they chose a wedding date and asked me to capture their Strathmere Lodge wedding photos. We met in high school through a mutual friend. I had just started getting into photography as a hobby. Amanda is also an artist who is following her career dreams in her industry. It feels really special to me that we’re achieving our goals. Amanda specifically enjoys drawing Disney characters. She fell in love with these tales starting at a young age. It was no surprise that she wanted the Disney fairytale feel to translate to her wedding day. Her favourite story is Beauty and the Beast, so little touches like the Enchanted Rose were around.

Excited I was to create at Strathmere because it was a beautiful fall wonderland. In addition, this Ottawa wedding venue had lovely features consisting of stunning buildings that added to Amanda’s vision. I headed over for the getting ready to start making Strathmere Lodge wedding photos. A’s dress was absolutely striking. It was a fantastic ballgown style dress that was definitely made with princesses in mind. As we proceeded through the day there was strong emotion everywhere I looked. Amanda had a first look with her brother, father and grandfather each one being a tear jerker. However, my most favourite was the moment she shared with her brother. It was so apparent how strong a bond they have. I’m so glad that Amanda, Kyle and their family members are those kinds of people that aren’t afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves.
