My first lead wedding shoot at photoVanBeek was an amazing introduction to the 2011 season. Please enjoy! – Julie
In a wonderful community just north of Ottawa in the Gatineau hills, Paula and Levi got married on a beautiful, albeit chilly, April day. From the intimate ceremony performed by a good family friend to the emotional speeches at the reception, this was truly a heart-warming wedding. Paula made her own gorgeous wedding gown and headpiece, and the Mustang they drove away in was borrowed from a family member. Personal touches were endless and it was truly an honour to be a part of their special day.
