Hello, I'm Ani

OTTAWA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & oTTAWA FAMILY Photographer

Hello, I’m Ani — the heart behind Love & Lovely Photography and an Ottawa-based wedding photographer who believes in capturing beautiful, meaningful moments that make your story uniquely yours.


When people ask how long I’ve been a photographer, I can’t help but smile and say, “As long as I can remember.” There’s something incredibly meaningful about capturing real moments—the love, the emotion, and the memories people get to cherish for a lifetime. Photography isn’t just what I do; it’s what I love.


My approach is calm, easygoing, and gently guided, helping you feel relaxed, natural, and beautifully yourself in front of the camera. I work with couples and families who value connection, authenticity, and genuine emotion — the kind that unfolds in real laughter, soft glances, and in-between moments you didn’t even notice happening.  


Whether you’re planning your Ottawa wedding, celebrating an engagement, welcoming a new baby, or gathering your family for portraits, I’m here to create timeless, elegant, true-to-life images that feel effortless and memorable.  Let’s create something warm, joyful, and beautifully you — moments you’ll look back on for years to come with full hearts and smiles. ✨

My Approach

 

My approach to wedding and portrait photography is all about keeping things natural, relaxed, and fun. As an Ottawa wedding photographer, I want you to feel completely at ease so your real, candid moments can shine through. No stiff posing or forced smiles — just authentic connection, occassional guidance, and honest emotion captured as it naturally unfolds.


At first, my shy couples can feel a bit nervous to have many photos taken, but by the end, they’re practically giving runway models a run for their money! I create a relaxed, easy going vibe, guiding you gently with lots of encouragement until you’re completely at ease and natural chemistry and love shines through!


With a calm, easygoing presence, I offer gentle direction when needed while giving space for genuine moments to happen on their own. For classic family portraits and wedding party photos, I provide clear, supportive posing so everyone looks confident and feels comfortable — especially couples who appreciate a touch of guidance. It’s the perfect balance of candid and refined, documentary and editorial, relaxed and beautifully polished.


Let’s keep things effortless, warm, and real — and create timeless Ottawa wedding and family photos that truly reflect who you are. ✨
