Richard & Patricia - July 31st, 2011

On July 31st, 2011 I had the amazing opportunity to second shoot with award-winning photographer Krista Jefferson of Edison Photography. The following are a couple of shots that I took that day.

Patricia, the beautiful bride.

Muskoka Wedding - Chris & Rebecca

Rebecca and Chris said their vows at Westwinds, Rebecca's family cottage, on Lake Rosseau near Windermere. Rebecca is my cousin and I have had the pleasure of visiting Westwinds almost every summer since I was a kid. What a beautiful location!

I loved all of the personal touches including the homemade table runner, place mats and napkins. The Hydrangea
are fresh cut from the grounds of Westwinds. 

Rebecca's amazing shoes.

(Rebecca's dress was sewn by her mother, Niki, who is my aunt. She did a great job!)

Waiting for Chris' arrival.

Chris walked to the boathouse to fetch his bride and they walked together down the path towards the front dock for the ceremony.

All of the wedding guests (including Tucker).

Chris and Rebecca had these fantastic little goodies to "dress up" their guests.

Even Tucker was in on the act.

These guys are so fun!

The following night Chris and Rebecca invited their extended family and friends to a reception at the Port Sydney Community Center. They had a fantastic tickle trunk with all kinds of fun dress-up items. The guests had their photos taken so that the bride and groom could create the most unique guest book.

Yummy! Maple syrup made by Chris' mother and step-father were favours for the guests.

Tickle trunk fun!

My mother looking a little too gleeful!

Thanks to Chris and Rebecca for letting me share in your special day(s)! I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

Muskoka Wedding - Chris & Rebecca - A Quick Glimpse

Here is a quick glimpse of Chris and Rebecca's wedding last weekend. More to come!

August 6th, 2011 ~ Jaclyn & Brandon : Wed Aboard the Kajama in the Toronto Harbour

What an amazing day Jaclyn and Brandon had! The weather reports weren't looking great, with thunderstorms in the forecast...not good considering the ceremony was to take place on the tall ship Kajama in the Toronto Harbour. The weather ended up not being an issue. The rain held off until after the ceremony, and even then it was only a few light sprinkles.

Beautiful Jaclyn! And so excited!

Jaclyn and Brandon met on the staircase for their first glimpse of each other. 

First glimpse.

I love the look on Brandon's face. I think he is pleased with his beautiful bride.

We had plenty of time to get some shots of the happy couple in before heading over to the ship for the ceremony.

The happy couple set off for the short walk to the ship. 

We stopped for a few shots on the way.

The Wave Deck.

Along came a couple on their segways and generously allowed Jaclyn and Brandon to board for a photo opp.

I love how all the guys are checking Jaclyn out.

We boarded the ship to this fantastic treasure chest filled with a surprise for each of the guests.

What an amazing backdrop for a wedding.

Best wishes, Jaclyn and Brandon. Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Enjoy Jamaica!!
