Christine & Joost 8.16.08 Wedding

This wedding and reception took place at the Best Western Lamplighter Inn in London, Ontario.  It was almost like an outside wedding, but inside.  Christine and Joost are one of those fun loving couples, as you can tell in these photos.  We had a lot of fun shooting the formals at the park.

Most of Joost’s family flew in from all over including Holland, so it was really nice to meet and talk with them.  I did get to use a few key Dutch phrases I know throughout the wedding 🙂  Dank u everyone! 🙂

 

What an awesome wedding location!

Emily & Janith – Wedding Reception 08.10.08

This is the last installment from my triple wedding weekend in August.  I covered Emily and Janith’s wedding back in January.  They had a small intimate dinner after the wedding.  Well it’s now time for the big summer reception.   

I asked Emily if she could hop in the tub for a few shots while she was getting ready.  I think she got a little too comfortable. 🙂

It was pretty cold in January, so we didn’t get too many groupshots done outside.  We took these in and around the Waterloo train station. 

Emily really loved this photo I took back in the winter, and blew it up to poster size for this unique divider.  Everyone signed their well wishes on it.  🙂

Check out those ribs!! 

Ella – 1 year

Happy little Ella is right around the 1 year mark in these photos.  She just learned to walk so she was always on the move 🙂  Ella was absolutely entertaining to watch, especially with the dandelion.  We shot some outside photos at a local park and also some studio. 

Dana & Gavin – 08.09.08 Wedding

Wow, what an awesome wedding!  I shot Dana and Gavin’s engagement photos back earlier this year and knew they were a real cool couple.  Well it’s now wedding time in August and they still haven’t changed a bit 🙂  Dana and Gavin’s wedding took place just outside of St. Thomas right in Gavin’s parents backyard.  It was a beautiful set up, very country and very open.  Its always hard choosing blog photos, here are some of my favorites.

Dana and Gavin did something a little different, they wanted to do all their formal and family photos before the ceremony.  So we came up with the idea to have Dana waiting at the end of the isle for Gavin with her back turned to him.  This really turned out to be a special moment as you can see in the next couple of photos.

Now onto the ceremony.  Luckily the days schedule worked out in our favour, just as the ceremony was about to start a strong lightning storm was approaching in the distance.  These bolts of lighting managed to hold back just long enough for the ceremony to end.

Cathy & Jason – Trash The Couch??

Okay folks!  I have been toying with this idea for awhile now and here it is.  I’ve been holding onto this couch for over a year (I must say my wife is happy to see it gone now, lol).  These photos were shot last month in August at this amazing location in St. George, Ontario.  Cathy and Jason are one of my bride and grooms from last summer and they were up for one of my crazy ideas.  Here are some of the shots from my very first Trash The Couch session.  Enjoy the photos.  A big thank-you goes out to Gill for allowing me to use his property!

You might not be able to see it in the smaller version of this photo, but that isn’t film grain.  It’s actually a couple thousand mosquito’s that were feasting on us.

 

Lindsay & Jamie 08.08.08 Wedding

Lindsay and Jamie’s wedding took place on 08.08.08 in Paris, Ontario at Lion’s Park.  You couldn’t have asked for a better day for a wedding – the colours looked awesome!  The day was filled with lots of emotion as you can see in some of the photos.  I really enjoyed shooting this wedding.  

This is the rocking horse that Lindsay used as a child.

Luke might be the best ring bearer I have seen.  He was slow and steady the whole way.  Luke actually didn’t want to walk on the grass, he didnt want to get his shoes dirty 🙂

This last photo was taken through the highchair at the reception hall.  The back of it had a heart carved out.  It turned out to make a perfect photo.
