Haley & Ryan – Wedding!

Posted in posts, wedding

August is winding down to an end pretty quickly.  It honestly feels like it just started.  What a crazy month it was for me, and after every wedding and even during I couldn’t wait to get home and start processing.

What can I say about Haley and Ryan?  We had such a blast during our engagement shoot and I was feeding off their great personalities.  Haley’s smile could light up a room!  and Ryan, you’re the man.  The story about how you two met still takes first place in my books.   This paved the way for an awesome wedding.  I had a blast capturing your amazing day and can’t wait for you to see the rest of the pictures.

The most valuable lesson I’ve learned this year is not to care about the weather.  Another great example was this wedding.   The rain didn’t let up but that didn’t stop us from getting amazing pictures.  If you’ve met me you know that I get excited about everything that’s different, doing things we’re not supposed to and being places that others rarely see as great locations.

Well I’m here to show you how a dark, rainy, gray day could act as an awesome backdrop for wedding pictures.

Thanks always for visiting and there’s another awesome august wedding coming your way early next week!

Cheers

There were so many cute kids around!

troopers! We decided to take the risk and go out in the rain. Over sized golf umbrellas work well

Fave!!

We had a great space for family/bridal party shots

Mazel Tov!

This is why I can't wear nice clothes to weddings. I'm always on the ground, upside down, on chairs. I'm all over the place!

Fave!!

Alright, I totally urged Ryan to do this...... "Can you eat a whole cupake in one bite?"

After the wedding we headed out for a few more pics

Thank you so much for having me take pictures on your wedding day! It was perfect

Joeline & Rich – Engagement/Wedding

Posted in posts

I couldn’t bare to leave out a few of Joeline and Rich’s engagement pictures.  We went to the waterfront in Oakville and it was beautiful.  During our engagement shoot I learned that they might be the nicest people I’ve met in a long time.

As you all know it rained, rained and rained last weekend.  We kept our heads on straight and eventually it cleared up and we were able to take some awesome pictures.  Lately I haven’t been worrying about the weather at all.  I’m armed with umbrellas!

Seriously is August almost over?  It felt like it just started.   Anyway, thanks always for stopping by and I have an awesome rainy wedding coming your way early next week!

Gotta love the waterfront

After the ceremony! the rain subsided and thankfully we could take some pictures outside

Of course when I noticed that fire station across the street, I had to go!

The dancing was crazy, these people had too much energy

I cracked up when I saw the pic on the right! priceless

And another! hahaha

Thank you Joeline & Rich for having me capture your most amazing of days!

Alana & Neil – Wedding

Posted in posts

It was a nice change being in the background and worrying about catching the atmosphere.  I was working alongside the very talented crew from 5fifteen.  Having taken pictures at their engagement parties and engagement shoot, I’ve already come to know many of Alana and Neil’s family and friends.  Also, Alana and I bumped into each other at the airport on route to Las Vegas.  I’d love to share more Vegas details, but as they always say……..

It’s safe to say that I was on party control!  Wait a minute, that’s not much different then what I do usually.

Anyway, I love both of them and I know we’ll bump into each other soon.  Hopefully it’ll be on a flight to Hawaii or maybe even New Zealand:)

Enjoy

Alana looked absolutely stunning in her dress!

There's nothing like a good Hora

Sarah Cherry of Cherry & Baker event planners.......She's the best

I'm always on the lookout for out of towners!

Alison & Jamie – Wedding!

Posted in posts, wedding

Is it bad that I was secretly hoping for a rainy day?  Well not entirely rainy but after a little rain everything tends to look a bit magical.   Lets not forget those clouds that offer an amazing soft box for outdoor portraits.

Alison and I discussed options for a rainy day for a few weeks now and it seemed like that’s where we were headed.  On the morning of the wedding, the rain came and we were forced into making a final decision.  I just had this gut feeling, I didn’t want to go with the backup plan.  Alison and Jamie trusted me and we went with our original plans.   On route to our location I felt a big weight on my shoulders.  Looking out the front windshield and seeing large raindrops didn’t help.  As we were approaching our first location, things seemed to slow down.  Armed with umbrellas and paper bags we headed out to our first location.  The rain stopped……….we got all our shots in.  The rain went away long enough until we took the last picture at our first location.  The same scenario repeated itself for the next location (rain while driving, dry for pictures).

This little story paved the way for the rest of the wedding.  I couldn’t take the smile off my face and neither did Alison & Jamie.

I love my job:)

Enjoy the pictures from the wedding

It was such a treat to have both of them getting ready in the hall. I ran back and forth for pictures

Alison's mom helping with the final touch

Jamie's dad helping out

When you finally realize that its you in the wedidng dress and your big day has arrived.

I sensed a bit of nervous excitement from Jamie in the morning, but that was about to dissapear

Just before the first meeting

No rain!

This place screams classic

On the lcd this looked great but after processing, it came to life

We had time for a toast in the limo!

I always say that on your wedding day you can look good anywhere

Ever had Bamba?

It's not everyday you see a bride and groom in a grocery store

Who wouldn't want to do this??

Priceless!

Outside for a little breather

I get surprised once in a while, but the next two pics caught me off guard. They came out way better then I had ever envisioned

Jamie & Alison, you're probably sitting in an internet cafe looking at these. Have the most amazing honeymoon and thank you so much for having me capture your wedding day!
