I recently had the pleasure of spending an evening with Patricia & Colin. I suggested that we take the ferry to Center Island, which was possibly a risky move, since I had never been. As expected, there was no shortage of great locations for photos.
This was the second time I had met with Patricia & Colin and it only reinforced my initial impression, which was that they are an incredibly friendly and good-humoured couple. They were up for anything which really allowed me to evoke their personalities and made the whole shoot feel really loose and natural.
Luckily for us, as we were arriving at the island, Centerville was closing down for the day, which gave us free reign of an empty, kids’ amusement park.
I was caught off guard when we were walking to our next location when suddenly Patricia said, “There’s a goat on the roof!”
I turned around and sure enough…
I’ll be photographing this couple’s wedding next March and I love that I got this opportunity to get to know them before their big day. We headed towards the lake for some fun on the swings and to get a good view of the Toronto skyline as the sun set.
I had a great time hanging out with Patricia & Colin and I’m really looking forward to meeting their families and friends at their wedding in 2013.
When Ali & Luke asked me to photograph their wedding, I was extremely excited to work with them. These two are both extremely fun, down-to-earth people, so I knew they’d be down with anything I wanted to try, photographically. They decided to have their outdoor ceremony and reception at Ali’s parents’ rural home in New Hamburg, ON. I was thrilled! I knew the photos would come out great, having such beautiful surroundings to work with.
Ali was determined not to let a little rain ruin her big day. The intimate ceremony took place in a small clearing by the Nith River. I don’t think Ali or Luke would have felt more comfortable anywhere else, but surrounded by nature.
It didn’t take long for the partying to begin.
Like I had expected, Ali & Luke were a blast to photograph and I was honoured to have the chance to take part in their special day. I hope all the best to them and their baby girl, Isla (born June 16, 2010).
