Laura and Jackson / August 18, 2018 / Le Vignoble de Chelsea

How can we not fall in love with this wedding? Laura and Jackson's big day was truly one for the books for us here at Mocha Tree Studios.

Laura and Jackson's wedding day began with us photographing them at their getting ready locations in Wakefield, Quebec. As many of you know, Wakefield is such a dreamy little town, and it was a perfect setting for these two to start their big day. With five bridesmaids and five groomsmen, the energy was high, and the shenanigans were afoot! Theirs is the kind of wedding party we would wish for every couple: everyone was super sweet and helpful, but also really, really fun to be around! Just check out those photos of the ladies on the bed with champagne glasses on hand!

Fireside chat with Capital Florist

Fireside chat with Capital Florist

I met Carla (from Capital Florist) a few years ago when we both took part in a Halloween-themed styled-shoot. At the time, Carla was a part-time florist who was eager to shed her day-job to pursue her passion full-time. By the time I met her, she already had years of experience as a florist and exuded the warmth and earnestness that she has come to be known by her clients and peers. Yes, her floral designs are to-die-for, but she is also just super fun to have around! Fast forward several years later to now, Carla has become one of Ottawa's most popular florists. She leads a team of talented floral designers who are all over Ottawa on weekends installing or delivering beautiful floral arrangements. This lady boss is a master-florist, a brand-savvy entrepreneur, and an overall amazing person.

Ottawa wedding shows you should attend!

Ottawa wedding shows you should attend!

We love wedding shows! We go to a few every year as exhibitors where we get to meet so many excited couples planning their wedding celebration. In our previous blogs, we've talked about great reasons why you should attend wedding shows and we provided you with tips on how to make the most out of it! In this blog, we will give you a rundown of 5 wedding shows in Ottawa that you should definitely check out! One has already passed, but several more are on the way. When Michael and I were planning our wedding, attending these wedding shows really helped us narrow down our vendors so in this blog I'll give you a quick preview of each one, based on the size, number of vendors, location, and overall general vibe so that you can decide which one is right for you!

Year in Review: Our favourite wedding photos and Video from 2018

What a ride 2018 was for us here at Mocha Tree Studios! There were lots of firsts. It was our first year where we offered both photography and videography. 2018 also marked the first year where we had not one, but two main photographers headlining weddings! We also had our very first same-day edit for videography! We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincerest gratitude for your continued support and love on this amazing journey. To our family, friends, fellow vendors, and our amazing couples thank you so, so much! Thank you for letting us do what we love on a daily basis.
