Penny and Fred

Here is a quick look at Penny and Fred's big day! It was a very rainy Saturday, but they knew how to make the best of it! :)

Chad and Holly's Country Wedding

What's better than capturing a wedding? Capturing a country wedding, for a great couple, on a beautiful day, surrounded by friends, of course :)
Chad and Holly had a perfect day and I am so happy that I got to be a part of it. I love weddings and everything about them. Every one of them is different in almost every way and seeing all the unique ideas and perfect details people have for their day is one of the best things about my job. Holly's flowers were not like anything I have ever seen before and her dress absolutely gorgeous! Everyone in cowboy boots is something I always love seeing, she was a stunning bride and the whole wedding party looked fantastic together

Have a look!

Congratulations Chad and Holly!

I love weddings!

I came across this slideshow from Jenna and Devon's wedding that was still hanging out on my computer, and as I watched it again it reminded me of how much I love weddings and being able to capture that pure happiness of the day. I had so much fun with Jenna and Devon and everyone involved, what a great day it was. Wedding photography is not a full time job for me, and I don't believe it ever will be. I do it because I love to and I don't ever want it to become a job that I do because I have to. However... I do still have 2013 dates available and would be thrilled to fill them with weddings for anyone still looking for a photographer ;)

Cool Anniversary Photos

If you have an anniversary coming up (or even better if you just got married) here's a very cool idea for all your future anniversaries to come. Preferably starting with your first anniversary, hold a photo of both of you on your wedding day in your anniversary photo, do this every year, holding the previous year's anniversary photo. One day you will be able to look back at all your anniversaries starting from the day you got married, all in one photo!



 

Paul and Melissa Engaged

We could not have asked for a more perfect night last Friday for an engagement shoot, a shoot that we had to reschedule twice because of rain. I have worked with Melissa a couple times before for Equine Shoots and was excited to hear from her about her Engagement! She had requested that we do the engagement shoot at Mt Nemo conservation area near Burlington since this is the where Paul and Melissa had their first date, and got engaged. A special spot for the two of them, and it was perfect! We had the entire place to ourselves, there were no bugs at all on a beautiful warm night and we had a gorgeous sunset. What more could we ask?!

Paul and Melissa's wedding is in January, it will be my first winter wedding and I'm so excited about it!! I love winter and have been hoping for a winter wedding to come along! :)
Congratulations Paul and Melissa and I can't wait to capture your special day!!

Flower Girl

A little while ago a friend of mine gave me this photo that was taken at her sisters wedding. We're not sure who took the photo but I'm glad it somehow landed in my hands :) This little flower girl was adorable. I remember her standing patiently for her turn to be in the pictures, and now that I see this photo I do remember her coming over while I was shooting and standing with me, it was pretty cute! I included my two favorite photos of her from the wedding day in this post for you to see how adorable she is.

Enjoy!

 

Jenna and Devon * Married

I love weddings! Sept 10th was a beautiful day, the wedding held in the beautifully landscaped backyard of a home in Chatsworth, and with such a happy couple, who could ask for a more perfect day!
Ever since Jenna first asked me about doing her wedding and said that I had done her cousin Caitlin's wedding the summer before I knew it was going to be a good day! Caitlin and DJ just celebrated their 2nd Anniversary! It certainly does not seem that long ago that I was capturing their wedding day, where does the time go?!
I have posted here, a few of my favorites of the day and also uploaded a simple windows slideshow I have put together to sum up their day in photos :) Unfortunately slideshow photos are very pixelated when viewing the video in full screen... best to view in small screen. Needless to say I will be taking a better look into making flash slideshows asap!
Thank you Jenna, Devon and everyone else for a great day and being fantastic to work with! And I also thank Caitlin and DJ for recommending Melissa Photography! I hope to have the chance to work with you all again soon!

Congratulations Jenna and Devon!

Jenna and Devon shoes!
And Jenna's flowers were feathers,
made for some very cool bouquets!

Jenna and Devon

Here's a quick glance at Jenna and Devons wedding this past weekend, which I had so much fun capturing by the way! Watch for the full blog post for these guys coming up soon :)

Nicole and Casey!!

Nicole and I have been friends since college and I had the absolute privilege of capturing her and Casey's wedding a few weekends ago! We had rain the day we did their engagement photos so we were really hoping for some great weather for the day of their outdoor wedding, but unfortunately we did see lots of rain again, but it was an awesome day none the less! I was so impressed with how calm Nicole was about it all, not letting it upset her on her day one bit!!
Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

Their daughter Madison made the perfect little flower girl! She looked absolutely adorable and she impressed us all with how well she did all day!

Unfortunately due to rain we weren't able to get the outdoor photos we were hoping for, but we did get a few and this one turned out to be a favorite of mine.

Madison was non stop all night! She started dancing the minute she walked in until she fell asleep near the end of the night. And what a great little dancer she is!

This is one of my absolute favorites! First of all Nicole and Casey had a choreographed first dance, which I love the idea of and they did a fantastic job with! But mostly I think my favorite about this one is Madison watching them! I think it makes the photo more meaningful, love it :)

In the time leading up to the wedding, Nicole gave me ideas of specific photos she wanted to have captured, this was one of them! I'm so glad that Madison did end up crashing near the end of the night so we were able to get this shot for her :) So sweet.

I just have to say, Nicole and Casey and their family and friends sure now how to have a good time! I had a blast capturing them all night on the dance floor! What a great night!

Thanks so much for having me be a part of your special day guys!! I am so happy for you and wish you all the best for years to come!! :)
