Three strikes and you're........A CANE???

A quote from Harry Carray.... "It might be, it could be...it is! A home run!"
And that is exactly what yesterday's wedding was...a home run! Such a fun wedding to photograph.

I truly felt like part of the family. Here are a few of my favourite pictures that I saw while uploading them last night.  Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Cane.

                                                                                                      Seriously, how amazing are her boots?

                                                                                                         Oh, what a simple window can do...

                                                                                                       Um, okay, look how beautiful she is...

                           A quick peek at the ceremony, waiting for the bride to make her grand slam entrance.

                                                                                                                                    Cool car, cool chick.

                                                           

 

                                                        One of the many reasons why it is super cool to live in Cobourg.

Midnight Peek

Here's my late night wee little peek from today's session. LOVE Baxter Creek for a wedding! It was beautiful! And wow!! do the sunsets ever rock! More to come for Mr. and Mrs. Chanelle and Stephen

Berry :)

Mr. and Mrs. Laurie

 I loved the way they lit up every time they looked at each other.  I could see them glancing at one another when they were apart after the ceremony and it made me smile.
Sara and Patrick, you were made for one another.  I truly hope that happiness follows you all the rest of the days of your lives.... ( I can hear a soap opera in my head as I type ) Thank you so much for letting me share in your special day, it was my pleasure.

Wowsers!

I love my job!!!!!! Here are a few of my faves from yesterday's amazing wedding. More to come later.....

                                                   We had a bit of a wind issue.  I loved it :)

                                                                      Lots of tulips!

                                                        First photobooth!  I LOVED it!

Simplicity!

A wedding doesn’t have to be extravagant and grand to be the most beautiful day in your life.  It doesn't have to have a gazillion bridesmaids and flowers abound. It doesn't even have to have your family. This wedding was perfect due to it's simplicity.  The focus was on them. The focus was on their daughter. The focus was on the life they've built together. It may have been a simple wedding, but it was their wedding, and it was perfect.

                                                                 Such raw emotion.

                                                              
                                                                  Such adoration!

                                                                          Such love.

                                                                  Such affection.

                                                                     Such romance.

                                                                        Such fun!

Such extreme beauty.

Bridal Show 2010

I have been stressing about this bridal show at the Best Western in Cobourg since I signed up for it in January. For those of you that know me, I tend to over-react a little. Yes, I said a little. I admit it, I was freaking out inside. I was so nervous that my booth was going to look amateur, that I was going to feel amateur, and that people would walk right on by. Well, I am not an amateur!! An Arabian Proverb (thanks Scarlett) says "Compete, don't envy" So, that's what I did. I held my head high, and believed in myself!!! I did not allow myself to be a shrinking Violet!! My dear friend Jen came to help me out and give me moral support. For that, I thank you. My mom and dad both stopped by to give their moral support as well. For that, I also thank you. To all the brides that stopped and complimented me on my photographs and inquired about my packages and helped me believe "I'm worth it" Thank-you.

Also, thank you to my new photography friends, whom without your continued support I wouldn't have made it through the day.

I've attached some of my pictures from the bridal show. I, a photographer, forgot my camera. I must say though that I'm pretty thankful that's all I forgot! The coordinator was gracious enough to snap a couple pics with her cell-phone and email them to me. The quality isn't the greatest, but you get the drift :)

This image seemed to be the most popular. It was my very first wedding, in Cuba!!!

I have some exciting news to share!! Late last Thursday evening I received a rather cryptic phone call from a highschool friend. She asked if I could dress kind of nice, bring my camera, and meet her at Victoria Hall at 2pm. Since I no longer have a day job (yay me!) I said "of course". Arrangements changed a bit beforehand and I met her at her house instead. I had let myself in and was waiting for her. Upon her arrival there was a bustle of activity, her two daughters were super excited and dolled all up. They told me they were heading out for a very special fancy dinner date. My friend asked me to take the girls upstairs and get their dresses on. A few rushed moments later, the girls were dressed and ready to go. THEN, the big surprise! My friend walked up the stairs in.......her WEDDING GOWN. Sandra was eloping!! The girls were sooo excited, they were crying and shrieking shrieks of joy! We headed to our town hall where her groom was patiently waiting (we of course were late). It was a very sweet ceremony and I was honored to capture their special day. Sandra, I wish you and Max the most glorious days of your lives. You truly, truly deserve it.











How sweet are these two girls???





I love her face in this shot!
