Timeless City Hall Elopement in Ottawa
Morgan & Eleanor’s City Hall Elopement: A Timeless Celebration in Ottawa
Morgan and Eleanor chose to celebrate their love after their City Hall Elopement in Ottawa in a way that felt intimate, timeless, and uniquely their own. Following a civil ceremony at City Hall in Ottawa, they invited me to capture their day with a blend of digital, film, and Super 8 video—each medium adding a distinct touch to the memories of their elopement. We started with photos around the Fairmont, and as the day settled into evening, we headed to Harmons Steakhouse on Elgin, where their celebration continued with warmth, romance, and genuine joy.
Choosing to document their day with a mix of timeless wedding photography in both film and digital formats, along with the nostalgic touch of Super 8 video, gave Morgan and Eleanor a rich collection of memories to look back on. Film photography brought an elegant, classic texture to each image, while digital captured the vibrancy of the city and the details of every candid moment with precision. The Super 8 video added a cinematic layer that felt beautifully raw and authentic, especially fitting for an Ottawa elopement.
For couples seeking a high-end wedding photographer in Ottawa who can capture their day with variety, combining these three formats creates an experience as dynamic as the memories being made. Morgan and Eleanor’s elopement was proof that with the right approach, a City Hall wedding can feel like the most romantic and timeless celebration.
For those thinking about eloping in Ottawa or planning a City Hall wedding, this blend of imagery gives a multi-dimensional way to preserve the day’s story—each format a different lens on love, laughter, and the moments that make it unforgettable.
Kind words from Morgan & Eleanor
“I would wholeheartedly recommend Shawn to be your photographer. Shawn is the whole package – professional, kind, adaptable and easy to work with. You can feel firsthand that he works hard on not only his craft, but the admin side of his business. His booking process is user-friendly and seamless. You’re able to meet with him before the big day to have an understanding of how the day will go (including a backup plan for inclement weather). Fast forward to the shoot and you’ll feel like a star. He is so easy to be around and has a talent for taking away any feelings of awkwardness. You feel like you’re in your own movie! Lastly and most importantly (for me), the combination of digital, film and Super 8, is why I feel he is a cut above the rest. The feeling of awe when receiving your photos is multiplied by 3!”
