I had a phone call a few months ago from a great group of ladies who were planning a benefit for Children’s Hospital in London in March.  They wondered if I’d set up my “Fun Photo Booth” for a few hours at their Rewind to the 80′s  benefit dance.  Gotta say it was a LOT of fun for a great cause.  There was some serious time and effort put into a ton of costumes!  Here are a few of my favourites from the evening.

And the last shots are of the two amazing ladies who planned the event!  Well done girls!  Thanks for asking me to be a part of it all!

Announcing the fall workshops to be held at my studio on Saturday November 27th and Sunday the 28th!  It’s a fun filled weekend of learning about photography and specifically your digital SLR camera.  Saturday’s class is designed specifically to help you understand your what all those settings are for and how to get the most out of your digital SLR.  Class starts at 10 and usually finishes around 3pm.  Lunch is included in the cost.  Sunday’s workshop is all about editing.  I know you’ve got hundreds and perhaps thousands (eeks!) of photos sitting on your hard drive.  I’ll help you learn how to back them up, edit them and print them to create pieces to be treasured for generations.  You can sign up for just one class or both by clicking here. Please feel free to email me any questions at info@sandraregier.com.  Your registration will be confirmed upon your payment and classes will be limited to 10 registrants!  Looking forward to seeing you there!!

There is something about a rainy wedding day…. certainly it’s not the weather that the couple have dreamed of having for their special day, but in the end, it doesn’t really matter.  Paul will still waiting at the end of the aisle when Melissa’s dad escorted her there. They still said I do, they are still madly in love, and Mr & Mrs Jeffray.  It does however make my job a little interesting.  Lately, there have been quite a few rainy Saturdays!  Thankfully, it hasn’t rained all day and I’m managing to get my brave brides & grooms outdoors for some photos.  It also makes me step up my game and get creative.  I’ve actually kind of enjoyed the challenge.  Paul & Melissa were awesome to work with, as was their wedding party.  The girls smiled away through the goosebumps and all in all I think we captured some great photos.  You can see more of them by watching their slideshow here, or download it in itunes and watch it on your ipod!

I loved this shot in the church!  Love the lines of the ceiling and the flow of Melissa’s dress!

It was pouring rain right at the end of the ceremony so we headed up the balcony for a couple photos with the beautiful stained glass window and then as we were outside I caught this photo in my minds eye.   Gotta love a good reflection.

I seriously think Melissa picked this bar due to the colour of the peeling paint.  All I have to say is – Good choice Melissa!!

Rainy days = amazing clouds!  Love this shot!

I love it when couples bring some of their personality into their photos.  Melissa & Paul love baseball.  Only fitting to bring out their cleats and add them into our shoot.Congratulations Melissa & Paul!  They say rain is good luck on your wedding day…. somehow I don’t think you’ll need it!

Can’t wait for your wedding next summer!

 After Justin & Amy met in their back yard, our first stop was on a gravel sideroad…. I picked the location.  Little did I know it was the same road that Justin grew up on!

Next we headed to the beach… the same spot that Amy & Justin had their prom photos taken when they were dating in highschool!

Our next stop… for icecream of course!

From there we headed to a location Amy had found… a bridge on a sideroad just outside of London.  What Amy hadn’t noticed was this amazing field of clover right next to the bridge.  LOVE IT!!

Also loved this gate right next to the field!

Then we headed into the heart of London. 

Found an awesome alley of graffiti…. you just had to watch where you walked:)

And there we tripped across a wall that had one of their readings painted on it… how cool is that!

We even managed to sneak out after dinner for a few twilight photos.  Love this! 

The hardest part of this blog post was picking just a handful of images from the many many that were taken.  Justin & Amy thanks so much for being such an incredible couple to work with.  You wedding was absolutely amazing!

Next is one of the funnest wedding party shots I’ve ever taken….. check it out!

And here is a shot that my lovely assistant Holly took of me taking this photo.  Guess I’m not afraid of heights!  I didn’t even realize how high up I was! 

It was such a great day!  I can’t wait to post their slideshow soon, but for now it’s off to bed for me!

Thanks for stopping by Samantha, Katrina & Josiah!  I hope you like your photos!
