As many couples will make significant investments in having professional photographers cover their wedding day, there is much that we do in our unique approach to weddings that can help them capture you at your best during your ceremony.

Unlike most traditional weddings in which the bridal couple keep their backs to their guests throughout most of their ceremony, our innovative approach of having our couples face their guests provides some of the most photogenic opportunities that capture the bridal party right in the moment. The photos taken during our ceremonies usually surpass those taken in the staged group pictures.

We are comfortable working with your photographers and advising them so that they will not miss any of the many additional photo-ops that occur in our ceremonies.

Sometimes, even professional wedding photographers, like two of Ottawa's best in the photo above, take a pause to get married themselves. Perhaps that's why when it comes to the execution of their ceremony, they know which officiants can best help them sparkle in the spotlight. And we can do the same for you, too.
