This week, Stacy Price and her crew at Marry Me Productions put together a fun night of appreciation for all of us who has worked with her this past year. The swank celebration was held at Lago down at Dow's Lake in their newly renovated reception hall! There was plenty of drinks and good conversation.
The best part of the night was to connect real faces to the names of vendors who had worked from florists, to make up artists, caterers, and even officiants! Although we had tried to mingle and meet everyone, there's always a few we missed this year, so we hope to catch up in the coming year!
Funny, the largest group of us there, was the wedding photographers! It was great to chat with everyone and hang out that night. They are such a warm and fun group of people and we couldn't be more thrilled to be a part of this community of photographers and to share our passions.. and tech talk! haha.
So... if you're wondering who's who, here we are from left to right: Frank Cava, Suzanne, Miv Fournier, Derrick Rice, Stephanie (wife to Andrew V), Moi, Andrew Geddes, Sam, Andrew Van Beek, Ron Zeitlan, and Bonnie Findley .

A special thanks to Stacey and Marry Me Productions, as well as the folks at Lago for hosting this event and your warm hospitality!
Much love,
Mary ( & Sam)
I am first to admit, it's been slow here on the blog as we head into our last stretch of wedding season (is it October, already!?!). Of course, thanks to emails from our faithful blog readers for calling us on that and for asking for more updates! You guys are awesome and so great to know you're out there and interested in our work and everyday life...
The summer has really been packed with scoping out locations, prepping, shooting and it's been insanely busy. But, back to our scheduled blogging... Here's a location that you'll really dig!
Lago is Ottawa's NEW bar and grill restaurant with a view at the Dow's Lake Pavillion along the Rideau Canal. If you haven't been here yet, you must go check it out! We love the decor, colours, and vibe of the place.
Even the restrooms are well designed and we LOVE the concrete sinks!
This is one of the lounge areas. I just love this photo that shows the quiet side of Sam that I get to see once in a while : )
We get so excited to see new cool places and venues, so we'll definitely be coming here again. It looks awesome in the evening too as the ambience changes to more of a nightclub. Lago also offers a large private 140-seating banquet facility (it was unfinished at the time we were there, so no pictures yet!) that is a great idea for weddings and events, so if you're a bride looking for something different, give them a shout as we'd love to shoot here!
Have a great weekend!
