Couples and Elopement Photography Ottawa
Intimate moments deserve thoughtful, unforced photography. Parfocal Media offers couples and elopement photography in Ottawa for people who want natural images that feel genuine, relaxed, and personal — without the pressure of a traditional wedding day.
Whether you’re planning a quiet elopement, a city hall ceremony, or simply want photos that reflect your relationship, sessions are designed to be comfortable, flexible, and focused on connection.

Couples Photography in Ottawa
Couples sessions are ideal for partners who want meaningful photos together without a formal event. These sessions are relaxed and conversational, with gentle guidance rather than stiff posing. The goal is to capture how you interact naturally — the quiet moments as much as the joyful ones.
Couples photography sessions are perfect for:
- Anniversaries or milestones
- Engagement-style portraits
- “Just because” sessions
- Personal keepsakes or album prints
Sessions can take place outdoors, at a favourite location, or somewhere meaningful to you in Ottawa and surrounding areas.
Elopements & Small Weddings
Elopements and small weddings offer space to slow down and focus on what matters. Parfocal Media specializes in intimate ceremonies, typically covering shorter timelines with a documentary approach that blends candid moments and lightly guided portraits.
Coverage is well suited for:
- City hall weddings
- Restaurant or private venue ceremonies
- Backyard or park elopements
- Small guest counts and informal timelines
Rather than staging every moment, the focus is on honest storytelling — documenting your day as it unfolds.
