Mathieu & Nicole - Ottawa Wedding Magazine

Jan. 24

One must start by saying that every couple has MANY stories. Which leads to the sometimes difficult task of deciding which one to tell. What angle to take it from and friends, that is not as easy a decision as you may think. For instance, with Mathieu and Nicole I could tell you the story of how it came about for me to photograph their wedding … an unexpected opportunity from another photographer. Or, of how they began to plan their wedding on their heritage property which as you’ll see, looked like a storybook setting. Or how their endurance through a near death accident only made their love stronger. Oh wait, you want to hear about that one? I don’t blame you. I mean, why would I just say that and not share with you what happened! So we’re going to share parts of that story which actually combine with the previous two and to top it all off? Naturally we’ll use some photos that I took on their wedding day to tie it all together.

Oh and one more thing… the exciting part of this story? Yeah…. is that I actually won’t be telling it. I say exciting because their wedding was picked up by Ottawa Wedding Magazine and not only that, it comes with a 9 page spread and ahem, the cover image.

I’m not joking when I tell you that I didn’t believe it was true until Mary, Nicole’s sister sent me the link to the publication. In my 12 years of being a Montreal wedding photographer- never have I had such a wonderful opportunity as this. It’s humbling to say the least.

I’ll leave my final words here by saying this: Being immersed in their energy, in the kindness of Nicole’s family and to witness this union brings me to one final fact of life. That no matter what one goes through, hell or high water… love should prevail. And when it does? It will always be worth celebrating.
