Just thought I'd share one picture of this gorgeous bride from a wedding on Saturday.  Yeah, the groom's not too shabby either!  I love seeing people all done up!

I met Jason and Carolyn at a get together in Calgary.  They were engaged and planning their "New York comes to the country" wedding for the upcoming summer to be held at Carolyn's parents home near Carman, Manitoba.  I was thrilled to be chosen as their photographer for this unique event.  Every detail was carefully chosen, from the chaise lounge chairs near the bar, to the peacock feather centre pieces, to the chandeliers hung above the tables.  It was an evening no one will soon forget.  

Congratulations Carolyn and Jason, and thank you for choosing me to document your day!

I LOVE how you caught the look on Jason's face when he saw Carolyn coming down the aisle...almost made ME want to cry! And the best man yawning - too funny

Jacquie was referred to me by not only one, but two randomly mutual friends.  It's a long story, but anyway...  After meeting her briefly at our mutual friend Carly's wedding, and talking over many, many emails, I already felt like I knew her.  After spending three hours with she and Mike wondering all over Winnipeg for their Engagement Session, I felt like we were friends.

Jacquie sent one of the sweetest Thank You cards ever!

On to the wedding!  Mike and Jacquie wed on a gorgeous afternoon in July.  Every detail was thought out, and Jacquie knew exactly what she wanted, right down to the circular set up ceremony.  I was amazed at the confidence they had in me when it came down to the photography, especially location choice!  After I came up with some ideas, Mike and Jacquie drove around town checking out my locations.  They were honest, they had their doubts about my favorite spot, but they trusted me.  Hopefully they'll feel it paid off!  They were a dream to work with, giving me total creative control, and ample time to work with.  It was a dream!!!

Mike and Jacquie, I hope you love your photos as much as I loved taking them!

They met through Andre's brother and Christine's best friend, who happen to now be married, to each other.  They dated a while, and met each others families, and everything seemed as it should be.  The timing perhaps was just not quite right, and they broke up.  Andre's mom teared up as she and Christine recounted the story at the salon the morning of the wedding.  She was as sure then as she is now that Christine was the right woman for her son.  Sure enough, she was right.  

Andre and Christine wed on a beautiful day in July.  One of few! The ceremony was a reflection of the couple themselves, focusing on God, and love, and music and worship.  Their vows were unique, personal, and so heart felt.  There were more than a few teary eyes as they exchanged the words that would tie them together forever.  

Christine is blessed to have a man that will always look at her with that sparkle in his eye, and Andre is so lucky to have a girl that lights up every room she enters.  Oh, and now Christine's best friend is her sister in law.  That's pretty lucky too!
