Mélanie Doire | Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer

After photographing Colleen and Ben for their engagement portraits, they asked me if I would photograph their new puppy Benson.

Benson is such a great dog, full of high energy and great facial expressions.

This couple hired me for just a few hours on their wedding day. It took place on a weeknight at the Chimo Hotel. They wanted the event photographed but wanted their formal photography done separately. So we planned for a post wedding photo shoot at the Experimental Farm a couple days later. This is always a great option, especially if you’re worried about the weather. For this couple, it let them have more time and less stress both on their special day and at the later shoot.

This week, the rain never stopped except on that day. The good old French saying “Accroche ton chapelet sur la corde a linge, pour influencer Dame Nature!” (Put your rosary on the clothesline to influence Mother Nature) holds true to me more than ever.

This wedding was unique, simple and lots of fun. The ceremony was outdoors at the bride’s parent’s back yard. The reception was held at the Ramada Inn in Cornwall, Ontario.

This session was interesting. We had an evening shoot booked and when we got to the location it was pouring rain. We had umbrellas and good energy, and had lots of fun. This couple is really cute together, they just did their thing and I was there to capture it. I loved it. Half way through the shoot it stopped raining and we took advantage of the fair nearby. When the sun came out the light was breathtaking.
