Wedding Photography in the Ottawa Valley
Your wedding doesn’t need to feel like a photoshoot.
We photograph weddings with a focus on the people, the energy and the moments happening naturally throughout the day. The big moments matter, but so do the smaller ones. Your people arriving. Nervous hands before the ceremony. Someone laughing across the room. Movement on the dance floor. The things that happen when nobody is thinking about the camera.
Our approach combines candid storytelling with creative portraiture and film, giving you something that feels natural, intentional and true to the day.
We photograph weddings and elopements throughout Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley, including Renfrew, Arnprior, Carleton Place, Almonte, Pembroke and surrounding communities.
Meet Jillian + Kellie
A mother-daughter photography team.
Kellie is based in the Ottawa Valley and Jillian is a professional photographer and filmmaker who has photographed couples, families, weddings, events and celebrations in Canada and Mexico.
Together, we offer wedding photography that feels personal, relaxed and connected.
Depending on your wedding and the coverage you choose, Jillian or Kellie may photograph your day, with the option to have both of us there for additional coverage.

8 hours of wedding photography coverage

Add a Second Photographer
$700 CAD
A second photographer can be added to either collection.
Having two photographers isn’t simply about getting more photographs. It allows us to tell more of the story happening at the same time.
While one photographer is with one partner getting ready, the other can be somewhere else entirely. During the ceremony, one of us can photograph your entrance while the other captures your partner’s reaction. During portraits, cocktail hour and the reception, we can document what your guests are doing while you’re somewhere else.
For larger weddings, busy timelines or couples who want more complete coverage of their day, Jillian and Kellie can photograph together as a two-photographer team.

Love Notes from Past Clients
We had a tremendous experience with Jillian for our family photo shoot in the Mayan Riviera! We made the quick & easy trip to the charming beachside town of Puerto Morelos, where Jillian had lots of great shooting locations scoped out for us ahead of time. The photos came out amazing and was a fun experience for the whole family, including our teenage boys! Highly recommended.
Ryan Mckeller
We had an amazing experience with Jillian for our maternity shoot in Puerto Morelos. She was very professional, made us feel comfortable the entire time, and truly captured our special moment perfectly. The photos came out absolutely amazing, we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Jillian to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer!
Tyler lawson
Jillian was amazing! So much fun to hang out with and made the process fun! Was concerned finding someone to do photos while we are on vacation but she made everything so easy. Definitely using her again if we ever go to Puerto Morelos wanting pictures!!

FAQ
How many photos will we receive?
Every wedding is different, so we don’t limit your gallery to a specific number of images. You’ll receive a carefully edited collection that tells the full story of your coverage, from the big moments to the candid ones happening in between.
When will we receive our wedding photos?
Your wedding photographs will be professionally edited and delivered through a private online gallery. We’ll also send you a small preview shortly after the wedding so you have something to share while your complete gallery is being finished.
How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
We recommend reaching out as soon as you have your wedding date, especially for popular summer and fall weekends. We’re currently booking 2027 weddings in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley, and dates are available on a first-booked basis.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
We keep going. Weather is part of the story, and some of our favourite photographs happen when conditions aren’t perfect. We’ll work with your venue, available light and whatever the day gives us, while adjusting portrait locations or timing when needed.
