Love As Luxury: Ottawa-Based FifteenFiftyOne Photography

Weddings are, by their very nature, a luxurious event. When love abounds, people feel a sense of warmth and comfort that can be as enveloping as the perfect cashmere sweater on a stormy night. Adding to this sense are the beautiful surroundings that often accompany a well-planned wedding. Twinkle lights, fine bone china and sparkling crystal set a perfect backdrop for the true star of the show, an everlasting love. 

My wedding was set for August 10th of this year and was a magical occasion. My A-type personality, along with the help of very skilled Ottawa wedding professionals, were key in order to plan a wedding that spoke to the couple's personalities, he a country boy at heart and me, a pavement centric city dweller. 

Being the highly visual person that I am, and wanting to capture every moment of the best day of my life, I naturally wanted to hire the very best photographer that Ottawa has to offer. When the search began, Nic and I knew that we were looking someone with passion, an artist. After months of pouring over portfolios, we found the most luxurious photographer for our special day.

Introducing Geneviéve Gorgette-Smyth of FifteenFiftyOne photography (www.fifteenfiftyone.ca). After reading her "about me" and checking out her blog (http://www.fifteenfiftyone.ca/blog/), I felt that we were already kindred spirits. Her motto, "Love. Changes. Everything." encapsulates everything I love about this woman, she has the ability to showcase the ways in which love changes not only ourselves, but our very surroundings. With love around, everything feels a little more special. I highly recommend this Ottawa photographer for all of life's special moments.
