Rhea & Alisdair {Iaroslava Petrenko | Ottawa Photographer}

Rhea and Al... this wedding... wow.. While going through the images of this deeply in love couple I felt that I was flipping through the pages of one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. These two reminded me of the most charming characters of War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy - Natasha Rostova and Andrei Bolkonsky...  Rhea and Alisdair brought back to this almost forgotten romanticism of the past. So beautiful!

Sharing with you some of my faves!

Rhea & Alisdair - Engagement Session at the Pinhey Forest {Iaroslava Petrenko Photography}

When Rhea told me she's been engaged and would like me to have her pictures taken... and soon!
I immediately thought of my favourite place - the Pinhey forest, where my family and I have done a lot of ski country this year! I just hoped we would have a mellow day for our shoot. And we did! Sharing with you some faves from that day!

Fall Wedding - Shannon & Lee { Iaroslava Petrenko | Ottawa Wedding Photographer}

Shannon and Lee married at Mill Street Brewery -  a charming place, rich in industrial heritage, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Ottawa River. In October, a foliage of red, orange and yellow covers the area in a spectacular array of Autumn colours.

The day was beautiful - warm and soft… and a bit nostalgic. It reminded me of the upcoming winter yet it carried the briskly escaping warmth and fresh memories of summer past. It was also exciting as it was a celebration of a new beginning, love and friendship.

These are my favourites from the day.
