Downtown Ottawa Styled Shoot

Lets do a styled shoot but why not a Downtown Ottawa Styled Shoot. In 2019 I left the crazy city of Toronto and came to Ottawa. I moved here towards the end of the year so once I arrived wedding season was pretty much in full swing. As a result I looked towards 2020 as the year that I would aggressively start marketing my new business and brand North Park Films. 2 months into 2020 and things seem to be looking up, I even planned to celebrate my birthday on March 9th for the first time in 5 years. Well… I guess I chose the wrong year because Tuesday I made plans to go out with friends for the weekend and by Thursday my birthday was cancelled because a very random deadly virus called Corona had run ramped and was forcing everybody to stay home.

For the next 4 months I hibernated and started looking around on Instagram to see who was who and I came across @meganreneephotography. Her style spoke to me and from that point we would speak every now and then. One day she posted that she was doing a styled shoot and being a fan I decided it would be fun to join her as by this point weddings were just starting to get back to a normal acceptance. Meeting Megan for the first time was me just fan -boying pretty hard as I knew of her for a whole year at this point but never met her in person. Long story short we did the styled shoot together and it was awesome (watch the video if you don’t believe me).

The whole concept was a downtown city vibe wedding styled shoot. She said she wanted to keep it simple. A non traditional dress, some heals and some great florals. We walked around downtown Ottawa with our couple @teahlizeephoto and @charlietheduke as the sun set and this is what I ended up putting together. When editing I wasn’t entirely sure how I wanted to pace this video. I was caught between the slow and emotional approach or something more upbeat. In the end I decided on a slower song but still add some sound effects and vibes to create a nice upbeat pace that encapsulated the vibe of the city. Check out the various vendors below that were involved with this styled shoot.
