Herb garden wedding

Ryan and Alex wanted their wedding day to be intentional and organic. Although they live in Ottawa, they had a special place in mind. An herb garden wedding at The Opinicon.  The Opinicon was recently renovated and oh my it did not disappoint. As an Ottawa wedding photographer who loves travel, I was more than happy for the nice drive. I love the carefree and bohemian vibe this place has with it's beautiful herb garden. An herb garden wedding is about as earthy and romantic as it sounds. They decided to have a first look as they wanted the be present and focus on each other. Ryan waited by the docks while his barefoot bride walked to him. They took the time to enjoy and get their wedding portraits done before the ceremony. Since their Lansdowne park engagement, I had been impatiently waiting for their wedding. 

The newlyweds mingled with their guests at cocktail hour. With a glass of their own home brewed beer they had made months before. Also, they took the time to thank and welcome each and every guests by having a receiving line before dinner. Ryan and Alex, during the time I got to know you, I have grown to love you and I have so much respect for you. Your wedding day was truly focused on your marriage. It was an honour to document this day.
