Before we hit the road on our 2 months road trip across the USA, we promised Jennifer & Matt that we’d get them their wedding photos within a couple of days.

Over the winter holidays, they eloped to Mexico to officially get married, but promised all their friends back home an amazing party on Valentine’s day weekend. They chose Entrepot Dominion for their venue, one of the coolest loft spaces in Montreal, and skipped to whole sit-down dinner in exchange for some mini-burgers and other cocktails.

Before the party, Jennifer & Matt got ready at the W Hotel in Montreal, which gave us an ideal backdrop for some indoor photos. Here a few of our favorites!

Elyna from Unity Weddings did an amazing job with the decor, and setup this fabulous sweet table. The giant cupcake cake is a Jessica Berard creation.

I am positively giddy about today’s post! Daniel and I were dying to photograph a wedding after a long 2 month break (what can I say, we love our jobs!) and we were incredibly pumped to get started on Laura and Scott’s wedding day. I actually bounced out of bed that morning and I never (I mean, NEVER!) have an easy time waking up (seriously, ask Daniel).

And we really couldn’t have asked for a better couple to kick off our new year. They were just fantastic to work with. Laura told us that after they booked us, photography was the only thing she didn’t ever worry about leading up to the wedding day, and i think this trust in us was part of what made the day so smooth for everyone. It also helped that both Laura and Scott were great in front of the camera! We can always tell who pays close attention to our blog – they know how to work it! And work it they most certainly did; including more than one pretty steamy make-out session!

Here are a few of our favorites from the day:

For once in my life, I’m pretty much at a loss for words. I’m feeling pretty emotional as I look back on this year. We learned so much, evolved so much, met so many amazing people, and had opportunities that we had previously only dreamed of. I know I speak for both of us when I say that we are so, so, so grateful. Grateful that we do this for a living, grateful that we have found success in it, grateful for all the amazing friends we’ve made along the way, and grateful that we get to share it with each other.

I have to thank every one of you who are reading this right now. You are our friends, family members, fellow photographers, past or future brides and grooms… and your feedback and support keeps us motivated to keep doing what we do. We have built actual friendships with many of our brides and grooms this year and these relationships are so precious to us. We really do love you guys! (and now I’m crying a little…)

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! We hope to continue to grow for as long as we are doing this and we hope you’ll continue to be there as we evolve. In the meantime, here’s to 2009, a truly amazing year.

Daniel and I were hoping to get this post up earlier today, but we were having brunch with Molina and Bernie… The fact that we spent the last few days staring at their faces on our computer monitors and still wanted to go out with them speaks volumes about how much we like them! Oh and did I mention that we were at it for 19 hours on their wedding day? Yup, not even a 4:30 am wake-up call could make us dislike them!

Despite the early morning and the long, long day, we had an amazing time. There was so much visual stimulation, from their colorful Cambodian ceremony, to the games, lion dancers, and Cirque du Soleil performers at their reception – it was impossible for us to get bored or tired!

Molina and Bernie’s engagement session got such amazing feedback, we only hope their wedding photos are as successful!

There were so, so many photos to choose from, but here are our very favorites:

These two were really up for anything!

Molina and Bernie created all the paper details themselves and I was totally in love with them…

This poor guy lost one of the games so he had to drink a concoction that Bernie created at the bar. There was Tabasco and soy sauce involved…

Some photobooth silliness…

We joined in on the fun…

17hrs into the day, Molina & I finally took a nap on Mo’s dress… (it was comfy)

When we first met Alex, he said to us: “We’re having a big cheesy Italian wedding. It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s going to be delicious.” We knew there and then that we were going to love them, and we were right. They are big foodies (I know, that’s really unusual for Italians, isn’t it?!) and food played a big part in their wedding day. Their table numbers were named after different food combinations (think mac & cheese, peaches & cream, burgers & fries, etc) and we of course stopped by the market for a few photos where they fed each other samples from the stalls. A food-themed wedding was a first for us and it was just wonderful (and delicious!).

Another first was the “flash-mob” put together by Alex and Alessia. Alex came up with a choreography

(By the way, as you can see I’m back from Europe! Check out some of my photos and my recaps on my blog. I know, I know, this is shameless self-promotion!)

Do you recognize Karine and Fred (below)? We shot their wedding last June.
