Ottawa photographer Melanie Rebane was the brains behind this styled winter shoot. After working with her on past weddings and seeing her creativity first hand, it comes as no surprise that she was able to round up a number of fabulous vendors at the drop of a hat and put this shoot together in a matter of days. For those not already familiar with Melanie, she offers a contemporary documentary style photography, documenting moments as they unfold naturally and spontaneously. Influenced by her fine art background, her images have been described as elegant, sophisticated and timeless. In Melanie's words "I truly believe a connection with my clients is essential to create beautiful images. I look to capture authentic moments in the day and veer away from contrived posing to a great degree. I focus on the interaction of my clients with each other, their guests and others they hold dear. Capturing the spontaneous moments is a real artform. Creating the space for my clients to be themselves, to connect with each other and truly be in their special moments is a focus of my work." Below are some of the breathtaking images Melanie captured. The details are to die for!!
Toronto Photographer Jon Rennie took the images below. Specializing in wedding photography that is contemporary and captivating, Jon combines wedding photojournalism with fresh ideas and delivers the kind of photos you will cherish for years to come. In Jon's words "I try to document every moment of a photo shoot from a creative angle, allowing the personalities of the bride and groom to shine through. Each image, to me, is a piece of art that lines up with the next to document the whole day."
These images were taken at Stonefields Heritage Farm in Carleton Place and yes, the lovely ladies modelling these gorgeous gowns from With Love Bridal Boutique should look familiar. They're none other than Sarah Walsh who has been a long time preferred vendor of ours when it comes to makeup & bridal jewelry and Melissa Johnston whom we had the pleasure of working with back in 2009 on Krystel & Ivan's wedding at Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello. Melissa's images of their wedding were later featured on Style Me Pretty. Other vendors whose talents were captured in these photos are Full Bloom Floral Design, Isobel's Cupcakes & Cookies, and The Cake Whisperer.
