Dania and Giscard : Married in Ottawa

Posted in Weddings

Its hard not to fall in love with Dania and Giscard. They are such a sweet and romantic couple that just got married after 12 years of dating . I just felt the love and the passion between the two and I wish them a life filled with precious moments , love and happiness. The day started at the groom’s house where I found Giscard which by the way I had his name all wrong and we cracked some jokes about it. I have never seen so much friends around the groom on this wedding day. You can count at least 60 of his buddies just showing up at his house for some chill time and few drinks. Then we headed to Dania’s house to find her surrounded by her gorgeous bridesmaids and getting ready to leave to church.

After the ceremony we headed to the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa for some fun pictures. Around sunset we left for the reception where 300+ guests were awaiting for the newly weds to make their entrance as husband wife for the first time.

Engagement session in Lebanon : Laura and Wissam

Posted in E-session, Travel

[ updated and re-posted back from January 2010 ]
I don’t know from where to start describing my feelings about me going to my home country to shoot a wedding. Since most of couples in Lebanon seems to fall in the traditional style when it comes to photography, Laura and Wissam are not any ordinary couple. They wanted something different , something fresh and mostly fun. Its the type of couple you want to spend the whole aftern0on with taking pictures, having an ice-cream and few drinks. We went to the city of Byblos and walked around the Marina and the old market. It’s said that Byblos is to be the oldest inhabited city in the world, the source of the first Phoenician letters that gave us our alphabet. Even if it was December, the weather was just amazing for an outdoor photo session . Thank you Laura and Wissam for the opportunity you gave me and for everything. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

They are the spontaneous couple that really enjoy being photographed and joy every moment of fun. And being so natural and in love helps capturing authentic moments . We walked the streets of Old-Port of Montreal for a couple of hours where we captured some of images display bellow.

Luis and Berna : A mixed Lebanese and Portuguese wedding

Posted in Weddings

They been announcing rain for the weekend and it wasn’t looking for good weather wise for the wedding. Despite all that, the excitement was there awaiting for the wedding of Luis and Berna. The day started at the grooms (Luis ) house where we met few of the families and friends coming from all over the world. USA , Portugal, Switzerland and France. They had some delicious pig cooked and ready for the occasion. After few pictures we went to the bride’s house ( Berna ) in Laval where we found her getting her latest make-up retouches and cracking up some laughs with her sisters. It has been a long time since i didn’t shot a wedding and Notre-Dame de Nareg Church in Montreal. Guests just went crazy shower the newly wed couple with rice when exiting the church.

After our photo session downtown Montreal we headed back to Buffet Marina where friends and family were awaiting for the couple to start the party. Which was a grat party by the way. A beautiful mix of cultures between Lebanese and Portuguese.
Berna and Luis considered us ( myself and my fiancé ) as friends and not as photographers. They promised us they will come to visit after the honeymoon for a drink and some movies. Congratulations guys . We wish you nothing but the best of a life together filled with joy, love and happiness.
