Christine and Mark: a backyard wedding in Ottawa

Christine and Mark got married one summer in their own backyard in Ottawa. They turned it into the prettiest garden ceremony, with a white arbour under the trees and their closest people all around.

The ceremony

Under the arbour

Christine came down the garden path to Mark, and the whole ceremony felt relaxed and personal.

Rings and signatures

Rings, a first kiss and signing the register, all right there in the backyard.

Portraits

By the water

For portraits, we found a quiet spot nearby with willows and a pond. The light was soft and warm, and they were so relaxed together.

One last walk in the sun before heading off to celebrate.
