Can a Toronto Maple Leafs fan and an Ottawa Senators fan find love?

Why yes, yes they can!

Last week, Erin, Chris and I got together at the famous 5 Span Bridge in Pakenham, Ontario to shoot their engagement session. We had a great time and it was filled to the brim with laughs. Erin and Chris have chosen me to be their wedding photographer for their beautiful fall wedding coming up in October and I was excited to have their engagement session because it gives us a chance to work together and hang out before their wedding.

Erin has a very unique engagement ring – it has the centre of an Irish Claddagh ring and the rest of the Claddagh ring will be made up by her wedding band. Another unique quality of the ring is that it is red and it is so beautiful. Red is also going to be their wedding colour – I can’t wait!

I took a lot of photos at this session and I can tell you that most of them were of these two giggling. Chris is such a joker and kept making funny faces and just generally cracking Erin (an me!) up – it was awesome.

So without further adieu, Erin and Chris, in love!

Have a wonderful day,

In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities

I still remember the day that Katie told me that Mathieu had proposed. I was recently engaged myself and she and I had been talking about how she and Matt were thinking about getting married. She came to see me and didn’t even need to tell me – I immediately spotted her infectious grin and her beautiful engagement ring.

I’ve known Katie for about three years now and funnily enough our lives paralleled in some pretty big milestones throughout the time we’ve known each other. We both bought our first homes within weeks of each other and we also got engaged around the same time as well. When Katie purchased her first home, she was single and loving it. Purchasing that home forever changed her life. Living next door was a strapping young man who would come over and help her fix things around the house. He would find any excuse to come over and see her. If you haven’t guessed it by now, this was Mathieu. Eventually he would move out of his house and move next door in with Katie and on June 19th, 2010, they stood in front of each other and promised to love one another forever.

Katie and Matt’s wedding was beautiful. It was one of the hottest days in June and it thunderstormed ALL morning. Nothing could get Katie’s spirits down though and she really did have nothing to worry about because by the time we came to take photos outside, it had completely cleared up. They got the best of both worlds; rain for luck, and sunny for their photos!

These two have such love for each other and it is so evident to everyone who knows them. They recently bought a farm and their honeymoon was spent installing electric fences and lots and LOTS of planting. Both are very in tune with the environment and you can see that even in their wedding colours: green!

Thank you Katie and Mathieu for letting me photograph your love, and your day. I hope you love your photos as much as I do!

My peace of mind was courtesy of my awesome bridesmaids & my mom, Day of event co-ordinator, Linda, and the blog apracticalwedding.com where I’ve been reading for over a year about how I should let all the details go on the day of the wedding and just be in the moment. Apparently it worked!

Macy Loves her Pretty-in-Pink iBall

If you know me, you know I have a soft spot for dogs. And by soft spot, I mean obsession. I’ve always loved dogs and I get really excited when someone tells me they are adding a four legged furry family member to their circle.

I first met with Alexandra and Mike in the Spring about shooting their July 2011 wedding (they are prepared and I love it!). Even then they were gushing about how they’d love to have a dog and of course, I was very encouraging in this idea.

A few months ago Alexandra emailed me to tell me that they had found their dog – an adorable lab mix puppy who they named Macy.
I was able to meet Macy last week and brought her a few presents, one of which was a pink fuzzy iBall from Bark & Fitz. Macy loved her iBall – so much so that she played with it for a good 20 minutes. For anyone who has had puppies, you know that this is a long time!

Macy is such a sweet dog and although Mike and Alexandra have some sleep-deprived nights ahead with her, I know it will all be worth it. She is a beautiful pup and she’ll be such a wonderful companion for life.

And here she is; meet Macy!

Have a wonderful day,
