The weather has been a bit … shall we say, unpredictible, this last little while, so I was absolutely thrilled when the sun decided to make it’s appearance for my session with the McConnell family. I always love seeing families over the years. Last time I took their photo was at Natalie & Jason’s wedding… since then there have been a few additions to the family. It was great to see everyone! Here are few photos from our session in Goderich.

It was more than a year ago when I met with Justin & Amy and they asked me to capture their wedding. It seemed like it was so far away, and now here it is in just a few short weeks! We decided to meet up in Goderich. Amy and I had chatted about a few different ideas before we got together. Amy I hoped I managed to capture things just the way you wanted. I think you both look great and I can’t wait to work with you again soon!

I love love love engagement sessions. They are such a great thing for both me and couple to get to know one another and have some fun taking photos. I find it makes the wedding day run so much smoother when the bride and groom know what to expect and realize (especially for the groom) that photos can be fun. It should never be a painful thing to get your photo taken! Enough of of my rant…. this past weekend I had so much fun hanging out in Goderich with Brad & Meredith. They are such a great couple. The started dating way back in grade 10 and now that they are almost done University they are starting to plan the next stage of their life together. Brad will be finishing up school the week before they get married next August so there is a lot of ground to cover yet, but I know that these two will get through it no problem!We met in Goderich at the Library. Goderich has some wonderful old buildings, but the library is certainly one of my favourties.
I love how Meredith’s face lights up! So pretty!
We also made a quick stop at one of the old train stations in town.
And then we headed down to the beach for a few shots as well.
All in all it made for a really fun afternoon! Congrats Meredith & Brad – I can’t wait to shoot your wedding next summer!
This past Saturday I had a fabulous day with Andrew and Shannon and the staff of the Ben Miller Inn.? It was a beautiful day and every attention was paid to details. It was also great to work with Lisa from Simple Creations who was the wedding coordinator for the day. I do have to make special mention of Shannon’s amazing wedding gown. As you can see from the photos, it is far from traditional. The thing you can’t see is that is was painstakingly made with love by Shannon’s mother. Countless hours were spent sewing on sequins and making sure that the fit would be perfect, and let me tell you Dawn, it was worth every minute. Shannon looked absolutely breathtaking. The pride and love on your face as she walked down the aisle brought several tears to my eye! Anyway, enough gabbing on to the good stuff!!

[gallery size ="full" columns="1"]Stay tuned for another blog entry next week from our “Day After” session that included Shannon’s horse Laika.? Some photographers would call it a “Trash The Dress” session, but after all the work and love that went into her gown you can rest assured that there was no trashing involved!? Check back soon!!
I was so excited last Friday to spend the day with Matt & Jillian.? After shooting their engagement photos and getting to know them and scout some locations with them, I knew it was going to be a great day.? They opted to see each other before the wedding and do all the photos ahead of the ceremony.? Several times during the day I heard both of them say how much more enjoyable the day was by doing things in that order.? I know for some people that seems so untraditional, but I think for both Jill & Matt it really set them at ease to see each other and spend sometime together before walking down the aisle.? I also have to give kudos to Jill & her Mom, Gerda, who spent COUNTLESS hours preparing the back yard for the wedding.? Awesome job ladies!!? Here are a few of my favourite photos from the day.? They?include a few interesting locations.? Jill & Matt both?grew up in the country and all?of the photos were taken minutes from their childhood homes.? I’m sure the guys working at the feed mill thought we were a little crazy – but you?gotta admit it’s kind of a cool shoot!
[gallery size="full" columns="1"]Kudos to the other awesome vendors involved in pulling this big day off!? Luanne the flowers were beautiful.? I loved the feather’s in Jillian’s bouquet.? Tara & Wilma and the Bridal Elegance Team – Jillian was stunning.? Her dress was absolutely beautiful.? I loved the lace edge on her skirt.?? Great job to all of you!
