Barbara + Darren Wedding Celebration - Springfield Farm
It was just this past summer that I photographed Darren and Barbara’s very small wedding just outside Wawa at Chippewa Falls. It was literally just them and their children, plus of course the minister, all on the rocks with the rapids flowing in the background. It was a very fun day, and one that I look back on fondly.

Since it was just them for their wedding day, they wanted to have a more formal family gathering near their hometown of Ottawa. They liked the way I captured their wedding so much that they invited me out to Ottawa to capture their day.
It ended up being at a very beautiful location on the outskirts of Ottawa called Springfield Farm. Even though it was a rainy day, that didn’t matter at all. They had all their closest family and friends there, and that is all that mattered. From the custom Star Wars cake, along with two other ones, to the beautifully decorated venue, it was a night to remember.
The highlight of the night by far, was the 80’s hair band they hired to play the barn there. Supposedly they saw them live in Ottawa and decided to ask them to play their wedding celebration. It was truly epic and an insanely fun evening of music that I grew up with. The entire crowd enjoyed, from the older crowd all the way down to the kids.
I’m so glad Barbara and Darren invited me out to Ottawa to capture such a memorable evening!
Barbara + Darren Engagement Session - Katherine Cove + Agawa Rock
With Barbara and Darren’s wedding fast approaching next month, they wanted to do an engagement session in the area of their wedding. It just so happens to be around Katherine Cove, which is exactly where we did their session, along with Awaga Rock. Anyone familiar with Thunder Bay, knows that it’s about a 6 hour drive.

So my wife Anne, our new puppy Lucy and I left the day before and made a little mini road trip out of it. It gave us a chance to sight see a little along the way too.
Back to Barbara and Darren … we started the session at Katherine Cove. They both were quite fearless climbing and navigating the rocks to set up for some very fun and candid photos. Everyone of course stayed very safe, and it was a dry day, so none of the rocks were slippery.
After spending about 45 minutes there, we drove about 10 minutes east to Agawa Rock. If you haven’t been, make sure you go. I’m still amazed at all the hidden gems in Ontario, this is probably top of the list.
As you can see from the photos, we ended up with some epic photos. I simply can’t wait until the wedding the next month!
Lastly, I couldn’t help but get at least a little bit of video during the session. It’s more in the style of behind the scenes, but I also included some of my favourite photos too.
