This past weekend was a busy one with Mandy and Dave's wedding on Saturday and Bridal Fair on Sunday.  Needless to say by the time it was all done my poor feet were pretty sore, lol.  But Saturday was a great day and Mandy & Dave were awesome to work with.  So was their wedding party and family.  I always have to laugh at the end of the day when the wedding party is saying "Thanks for putting up with us" and I am thinking "Weren't they awesome and a blast to work with".  I am very fortunate to have such great clients and do something that I absolutely love.  Mandy and Dave, I hope you guys are having a wonderful honeymoon and thanks again for everything.  Here's a selection of images from your day.

This past weekend was a busy one with a full days wedding on Saturday and Bridal Fair at the Conexus Arts Centre in Regina on Sunday.  I think this is my 4th year going and therefore the 4th year that my good friend Sherry has helped me out.  We definitely are more organized now than that first year, lol.  Thanks again Sherry.  You always make work fun!  Here's a shot Rory took of my booth.  Sorry if the resolution is not the best but I don't know what his little point and shoot camera was set on.  You'd think the photographer would have checked but I was kind of busy, ha ha.

     Yesterday, thankfully, was a beautiful October day.  Finally.  They have been few and far between these days.  It was a beautiful day for a wedding.  I was fortunate enough to be chosen by Laura and Curtis to share in their day.  I had a great time with them, their families and their crazy wedding party....especially Toni, lol.  We started the day at Chatters Salon in Yorkton.  They did a fantastic job for the girls and a bunch of other bridal parties as well.  When I walked in I had a hard time finding my bride as there were three of them.  From there we went to a friend of their family's house for the girls to get ready.  A special thank you to Millie and Ivan for lending their lovely home to the girls while they were out of town.  After that we were off to a lovely ceremony at St Andrews United Church and then off to our first photo location.  Finally we wrapped up at an old family farm out by Saltcoats. Trees, old cars and old buildings.  If you know me, you know I was in my glory.  Anyway, thanks again guys for being so awesome to work with and have a fantastic honeymoon in Vegas!!  Here's a selection of some of my favorite images from your special day.

 

My website seems to be acting up right now so I can't leave comments between the photos.  All I can say is I totally loved Laura's bridal photos.  Her look was so classic and a bit vintage.  Especially with the beautiful fur stole that was provided by Dream Weddings in Yorkton which is also where she got her dress and the bridesmaids dresses.  The flowers by "Welcome Home Gifts" were lovely and perfectly complimented all of the dresses and decor.  I can't say too much else other than Laura and Curtis were so great to work with.  Curtis definitley watches out for his new bride.  So nice to see.  I think those emotions definitely show through in all of their images.  I posted quite a few as I just couldn't make up my mind which ones I liked best :) 

This Thanksgiving I was shooting the beautiful wedding of Ashley and Dustin at the Temple Garden Mineral Spa in Moose Jaw.  What a beautiful location for a great couple to say "I do".  The weather definitely could have been better.  A lot better actually.  But they were so easy going.  Their main concern was to get a great family photo of them and their precious little one and anything after that was gravy.  Since was snowing and miserable we did a bunch inside with their adorable little girl and then they were so great and braved the outdoors for a few.  It was totally worth it as we got some beautiful winter wedding shots.  Even though they were in October, lol.  Thanks again you guys for including me in your day. 

Since its just around the corner I thought I would post a little reminder to all you brides out there that its almost time for Bridal Fair.  Come out to the Conexus Arts Centre on Sunday, October 25th and check out my booth and all the great deals.  For more information go to www.mostincrediblebridalshow.com.  Book your wedding on show day and your name gets entered for a fantastic prize!!  See you there.

And because all posts are better with an image or two, here's an example of my Bridal Fair cards that I whipped up for this year.

Last weekend I had the total honor to work with Troy and Kim on their wedding day.  Wow, what can I say about these two kids. I am totally smitten with them.  They are so kind and sincere.  Their love for each other is so obvious.  It just pours out of them.  They already are such gorgeous people on the outside but even more beautiful on the inside.  They have a true love for their family, friends and definitely their faith.  That was apparent at their beautiful service at the Ebenezer Baptist Church which was officiated by their dear friend, Laurence Johnstone who came all the way from Daysland, Alberta.  How wonderful is it to be married by a friend.  It makes the service so special.  Also, to add to an already wonderful wedding, Troy is in the Air Force so they had the Honor Guard their as well. I felt so old being called "Maam" all the time but they assured me it was just good manners and that I wasn't that old, lol. I think that last statement was actually the good manners part, lol.  Because Troy is a Pilot, we had the opportunity to go out to the Yorkton Airport to shoot the last of the shots.  Wow, an old hanger, planes and a helicopter.  I was like a kid in a candy shop.  I think everyone thought it was pretty funny how excited I was.  So, without further delay, here's some images from the day.  Kim and Troy, I hope you guys enjoy all of lifes blessings and make sure you keep in touch once you are in your new post in Newfoundland.  Be safe.
