What a fantastic day I had shooting this fantastic wedding.  I seriously could take all my brides and grooms to this perfect location.  If only it wasn't so far away.  I've known Jenna for a while now and I think she is my biggest fan, lol.  She is so sweet and was so excited to book me for their wedding.  I had a blast with her and her new hubby, family and friends all day long and at the very end of shooting she gave me a hug and told me that it was a dream come true to have me shoot their photos.  I was taken back for sure and feel incredibly honored to have worked for them.  So here's a selection from your day guys.  I know, I know, there are quite a few images but what more could I do for my biggest fan :)

Sharon, words cannot explain! Thank-you for capturing our day just the way I dreamed you would - perfection. I truly am your biggest fan and it really was a dream come true. There are so many little things you did that made everything go so smoothly. Looking forward to having you capture more of our 'best days.'

Well I am actually taking a break in the middle of summer.  The studio will be closed from August 1st to August 7th and will reopen on August 8th.  Have a wonderful week everyone. And since every post is better with a photo, here's our little Maddie again :)

Recently I had the absolute pleasure to work with Ryan, Erin and their family and friends on their super fun, Rider themed wedding.  I know I am always bragging that I have the best clients but I honestly do.  This bridal party was so much fun as I am sure you will tell by a few of the images.  Thanks so much for being so great to work with guys.

The ring shots in this blog post are a bit unique.  Something special just for Ryan, lol.

I met Robin and Kirk last summer when they booked me to shoot their wedding and engagement photos.  We actually tried to shoot these on Monday night but the storm changed our plans.  So last night we went out to Katepwa and tried again.  What a perfectly beautiful night.  Warm, no wind and amazingly.....no bugs.  We also had the perfect location.  We shot at Robin's grandfather's cabin.  Actually her two uncles also have the cabin's beside and the surrounding land so its really a family affair.  Its so pretty down there and since she spent a lot of time their growing up, it was the perfect location for these photos. Kirk and Robin are such a sweet couple and their wedding is going to be totally unique, just like them.  I have to send a special thanks to Kirk for putting up with all my hair brained ideas, lol and to Robin's uncle for coincidentally finding the robins nest that we shot Robin's ring in.  That was meant to be :)

Was that a real birds' nest and eggs? I've heard that birds can smell when a predator (humans) have been in/around their eggs/nest and they will abandon a nest and its eggs if they smell that. Please be careful around wildlife! (Your photos are really nice - I hope you don't think I'm attacking you!)

LOL, I love anonymous comments. Leave your name people!! Yes, this was a real birds nest but it was already abandoned otherwise we wouldn't have set the ring there but thanks for the comment. Keep em coming :)

It seems lately that I haven't posted too many things on the blog that are "personal" so today's the day.  These photos are of our Old English Mastiff Maddie who just turned 7 months old and is already almost 120 lbs.  Maddie is a gentle soul.  The Mastiff's size can be so opposing but they are known as the gentle giant and are wonderful house dogs.  She is a sweet heart and loves to be at my feet which is exactly where she is right now.  Enjoy....

This evening I had a local shoot which was so nice.  Balgonie is a great little town and we are loving it here.  Its amazing how quickly time passes as we have already been here for one year.  Anyway, tonight I got to work with the Ulrich Family.  Mike and Crystal are a lovely couple and have the sweetest, most well behaved kids.  After all the nice weather we have had, today was not so nice after that big storm last night.  So we started our shoot inside their lovely home to be on the safe side and then ventured outside for a few great shots to wrap things up.  It was super nice to meet you all and I look forward to seeing you around the neighborhood.  Enjoy these few images from tonight's session.
