This is how laid back Hester and Jeff are, I asked if they wanted a traditional photo of the cake cutting, they looked at each other and both just said, "no" and I kind of like this photo better than any posed shot.

I wish Hester + Jeff best wishes in their new married life <3

Ceremony and Reception:
La Grange De La Gatineau
Having everything in the same spot makes for such a stress free day. Hester thought she'd be a little more ahead by the time I got there but because everything was in one place, we still covered everything and more.
La Grange de la Gatineau est un magnifique bâtiment en bois rond, construit à l'origine comme une grange pionnière en 1819. Aujourd'hui, un centre d'événements au bord de la Rivière Gatineau, entouré de jardins et de la forêt à seulement 20 minutes d'Ottawa/Gatineau. Avec son décor rustique et son histoire, La Grange de la Gatineau offre un excellent service et une cuisine raffinée pour les mariages, les réunions, les célébrations et les concerts.

La Grange de la Gatineau is a magnificent log building, originally built as a pioneer barn in 1819. Today it is a welcoming event centre, overlooking the Gatineau River and surrounded by gardens and forest in a secluded setting just 20 minutes from Ottawa/Gatineau. It offers excellent service and fine cuisine in a historic décor, for weddings, meetings, retreats, celebrations and concerts.

Florals:
Roots and Shoots Farm, who you may know for their CSA food baskets, but how incredible were those floral arrangements?

Having an intimate wedding? Make sure to check out other weddings we've done and send me a message with any questions. Hester booked me prior to the venue, hair/makeup or having a timeline so I got to offer suggestions along the way and I think she did an amazing job; the day was beautiful.
