Paisley & Brandon’s Wedding at Knox Presbyterian Church and Lago Restaurant in Ottawa

My oh my where do I even begin? This wedding in particular was very special to me. Paisley and Brandon both share the same faith that I do, and held their ceremony at the stunning Knox Presbyterian Church. This church holds a lot of significance to me as it is where my sister got married, and is also where I heard my boyfriend sing for the first time many years before we met (cue all of the goosebumps). Moments before Paisley walked down the aisle her and Brandon prayed together hand in hand without looking at each other, and it was such a beautiful and intimate moment to say the least. I had to hold back the tears for that one. Their ceremony was beautiful, genuine, and filled with so much joy. They began the service with worship, and it was so incredible hearing the sound of peoples worship echo through that sanctuary. Following the ceremony everyone surrounded them with their warm and excited congratulations, and it honestly felt like everyone was one big massive family.

It was such a blessing to get to know these guys, and to photograph their wedding day. Their love and joy is so infectious, and I wish I could re-live and photograph this day all over again.

Here are some very kind words that Paisley shared with me:

“I don’t even have enough words to describe how thrilled we are with our wedding photos! Kelly captured every moment of our day in the most beautiful way imaginable. Not only are her photos magical, capturing emotions and priceless moments but she was such a joy to work with. Kelly gave us so much care, consideration and attention to make sure she knew exactly what we were hoping for for our special day. You can tell how much she loves her job and understands her clients and we will definitely be working with her again in the future!”
