Iain & Joanne – Married!

Sandra — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 17:42:39 +0000

Saturday I started off my 2010 wedding season with Joanne & Iain’s wedding. It was neat when I met them early this year and had a chance to talk about what they wanted their wedding to be. In Iain’s words, it will be just like they are – and he couldn’t have been more accurate as there was a reflection of each of them scattered all throughout their day. Joanne is definitely a details person so much of the handy work could be attributed to her amazing skills, but Iain’s hand was in much of it as well, including the beautiful lanterns that helped to light their ceremony amphitheater. Luckily they had planned for indoor photos, as the weather was anything but pleasant. There was some rather amazing window light that I just fell in love with and I think when you check the images you’ll understand why. A few of my favourites are in this blog post, but to see the complete story you can click here to watch a slideshow. You can also download a free itune’s version if you’d like to have it on your iPod – just search for “Sandra Regier” in the itunes store.

Congratulations Iain & Joanne. I hope you have a wonderful time honeymooning in NYC!

Darrell & Jen – Engaged!

Sandra — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:14:05 +0000

Jen had emailed me back in December to see about getting some engagement photos in the snow. We set a date for early January and boy oh boy snow it did…. snow and wind and basically an all out blizzard. We decided to reschedule for February…. hoping for snow, but not quite that much snow. Mother Nature decided yet again to drop down lots of white stuff, but the wind was a bit more friendly so we decided to give it a shot. It was so much fun (and a bit cold I might add)! We met up at one of my favourite country locations – my in-laws farm – and tromped around to capture these. Meet Jen & Darrell

When I started editing through there photos I first thought the next photo was a mistake. With all those flurries in the air, my autofocus lens was having a hard time keeping it’s focus on Jen & Darrell…. but after looking again I decided I quite liked this “mistake”.

Love this shot! Jen has such a great smile!

I hope you had a fabulous Valentine’s date after our shoot! It was so much fun to work with both of you! So looking forward to your wedding at Hessenland in July when the temperatures will be a lot more friendly!

Dan & Elisha – Engaged

Sandra — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:00:05 +0000

It was great to meet up with Dan & Elisha a couple weeks ago to take their engagement photos. I always find outdoor shoots in the winter both a delight and a challenge. The light is so different this time of year, and can actually be a lot brighter than in the summer due to the reflections off the snow, but I love the challenge of something different! Not too many people are willing to brave the elements for an outdoor winter shoot, but they sure are fun! At any rate…. we met at Elisha’s parent’s home which is also where their wedding will take place this coming summer. It is really a neat property and I can’t wait to see how their wedding day turns out, and to see how different everything looks when it is green instead of white. We started out by walking out to the location where their cermony is going to take place. It’s at an old barn foundation. Really cool.

There is also a stream and a bridge and all sorts of cool spots! Love this location!

And of course our shoot wouldn’t have been complete without including Kyra in a few! She is their adorable little girl and I absolutely fell in love with her.Thanks so much for a fun afternoon Dan, Elisha & Kyra! I can’t wait to see you all again soon!

Gillian Loves Her Dress!

Sandra — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:05:05 +0000

I’m finally just about caught up on my editing!! I was thrilled when Gillian emailed me to see if we could do a “Trash The Dress” session this fall. They were married the first weekend in October, and much to Gill’s dissappointment the leaves were almost completely green. Tyler’s parents have a beautiful property and so I was more than happy to make a trip back to photograph them in the beauty of fall. Here are a few of my favourite shots. I’m not usually one for editing things into a sepia sort of tone, but I thought the fall colours really lended themselves to it! What do you think?

Emily Loves Her Dress

This was such a fun shoot! Emily was totally into the “Love Your Dress” session and really couldn’t wait to get into the ocean. Kevin was such a good sport and I believe he had a whole lot of fun too. Here are some of my favourite shots from our session in Cuba! The photos certainly make me miss the beach. Enjoy.

Emily’s Mom

As I sat today editing Kevin & Emily’s wedding photos I was struck by two imparticular of Emily’s Mom. I love the look of love and admiration on her face as she sees her little girl as a beautiful bride.

Love these photos!!

Eileen & Ian – Married in Australia!

Sandra — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 02:14:59 +0000

What a beautiful day… for a beautiful couple to have a wedding – Aussie Style!! I have to admit, going into this I was a bit nervous. We’ve travelled all this way for me to take photos of Eileen & Ian’s wedding, and I really wanted to do a good job for them. I had no clue about locations and basically just left if to them to take me around, and I just winged it. I couldn’t have been happier with the spots they picked. Beautiful is an understatement. Breathtaking hardly even covers it. The Mona Vale Golf Club has the most amazing view. The ceremony was out on the lawn with the ocean in behind, and the guests had the added treat of watching the whales breach in the ocean during their vows. It was amazing!

Immediately after the cermony we headed out for some photos. The rain was moving in and time was a ticking…. check out the beach we went to:

Check out the sky ….. we were quickly on the move to our next spot – the coastline here has tons of beaches – the shots above are at Mona Vale and the ones below are at Newport… I think

And then on to the Yaht Club. Such a cool spot as well.

I fell in love with the wall in the yaht club parking lot! Isn’t it great! Such a great texture! Believe it or not it was drizzling the entire time we were at the yaht club….. we figured a little bit of rain never hurt anyone!

And back to the golf course for the reception.

I was thrilled that we had a chance to sneak out between courses and grab a few shots on the golf course. What an amazing location! What an amazing couple! Ian & Eileen you both know how much Chris & I and the kids love you both!! Our time together is always full of laughs and fun and usually a great bottle of wine and some yummy snacks! We think the world of both of you. We are so happy to have come over to Aus and share and celebrate with you. We wish you many blessings and much happiness!! Big Hugs!! Sandra

For those of you who are looking for a slideshow – you’ll have to wait… my 5 hours of sleep are not up for putting one together today. You’ll have to check back later this week. To all of our family and friends back home – Happy Thanksgiving! We miss you all!

Gillian & Tyler – Married… or should I say… GILSON!

Sandra — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:05:52 +0000

You had to be there…. Gilson is the “Couple Name” that their good friend and MC came up with for them…. Gillian & Tyler Wilson will now officially be know as Gilson. Gill & Tyler met in highschool…. 10 years ago! Gill I must say you are quite a trooper to make through Tyler’s ten year program. The smile on your face all day told me you knew it was worth the wait! It was so wonderful to see how in love these two are! Here are a few of my favourite photos for the day. You can click here to start their slideshow. The itunes download will be ready in a little while, as I’m heading out on holidays today.

Gill & Tyler I wish you all the best for many happy years together!!

As a little side note I have to give a little shout out to Wilma & Tara at Bridal Elegance in Exeter – Gill could not get over how awesome your service was. She was absolutely thrilled with both of you. Well done ladies!

Jason & Caylan – Married!

Sandra — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:15:46 +0000

To say the day was perfect would be a lie. You see Caylan had been planning and hoping for an outdoor ceremony in Hessenland’s beautiful gardens for over a year. Last week her facebook status was very clear ”I don’t care if they say about rain being good luck – if it rains on Saturday I will be deeply disappointed” – and needless to say rain it did. When I arrived to see Caylan get ready there were a few tears. We did manage to get outside and take some portraits of her and the girls. While we were out on the lawn her mood seemed to visibly change as she came to the certain truth that whether the day was “perfect” or not the man she was about to marry was and really, that’s all that mattered. The rain started just as the ceremony was about to begin so we moved in doors in to the cozy and inviting coach house. The ceremony was really beautiful and you could tell the Jason & Caylan had put a lot of thought into it. Soon after the ceremony was finished, the clouds parted and we ventured outside once again for photos. I think all in all, even though their wedding day wasn’t maybe exactly like they dreamed it would be the love they share and the family and friends they had around them to celebrate with made their day wonderful just the same!
