Esther + Alex

We couldn't have asked for a better couple to shoot on the hottest, most humid day of the summer! These high school sweet hearts were so much fun despite the heat! Even when it started raining buckets - they were still smiling. And Esther was so laid back about her gorgeous dress - it was soaked by the time we were done, but she was just happy to have some great pictures:



















Congratulations Alex and Esther!

Jenn + Dean

Jenn and Dean were married on Saturday, July 10th and the day couldn't have been better. They are such a fun couple! Jenn is a high school teacher and Dean is a fire fighter, but they met when they both worked in the same grocery store. Dean was too shy to ask Jenn out so she finally took the initiative and asked HIM out - And now here they are: Married! Way to go Jenn :)

I could immediately tell that Jenn and her mom have a special bond - I just loved the way her mom admired her beautiful daughter.



Jenn, you are GORGEOUS!

Jenn's mom walked her down the aisle... and I just L.O.V.E Dean's face when he see's his beautiful bride!


I got my first ride in a fire truck :) What a great "get away" vehicle for the couple.




Jenn took dance for 13 years and it showed in their 'first dance' - they both put on a great show! It was such a fun reception with all of Dean's fire fighting buddies there - what a fun/rowdy bunch!


Congratulations Jenn and Dean! Thanks for letting us share in your special day - we had a blast taking your photos!

Derek + Erin: Engaged!

Erin and I have been friends since high school. Since grade 10 to be exact. She was my style icon back then. You see, Erin's older sister (Jill) lived in Toronto and knew all the latest trends - therefore Erin was always "way ahead" of all us country bumpkins at HSS. Maybe that's why she had to switch to a "trendier" city school in grade 11... where she met the love of her life: Derek. And now here they are, 10 years later, engaged - I am so looking forward to their wedding... they were so fun and natural in front of the camera!

Erin suggested Webster's Falls for the engagement photo's. It was my first time there - what an amazing spot!


Erin's fav boy (back in the day) was Freddie Prinze Jr.... Don't you think Derek looks like him?

Isn't my friend GORGEOUS?





Derek, you did a great job picking this beautiful ring... and you did a great job picking this amazing girl! Congratulations you two!

Michael + Rachel

Mark and I were excited to shoot Mike and Rachel's wedding, but disappointed to be missing the soccer game: Holland vs Brazil! You can imagine how excited we were to arrive to this...


We didn't feel like we were missing out at all. Instead we got to hang out with a bunch of Dutch, Nederland Fans for the day. I loved how their wedding color was orange - GO ORANJE!


Rachel plays the piano beautifully (a few of her sisters do as well - such an amazing family!)








I love the proud expression on Rachel's dad. It was such a special ceremony - after he walked her down the aisle he performed the wedding ceremony - so lovely.












Congratulations Mike + Rachel! We had so much fun taking your photos and celebrating the win with you and your families - JUP HOLLAND JUP!!
