Ashley and Mike got married on a rainy Saturday afternoon this past weekend. The thing I loved about this couple the most is, nothing could dampen their spirits. They were going to get married out side even if they got soaked in the process. Thankfully they didn’t have to dry their clothes after the ceremony. The rain held of for most of the night. A little drizzle wasn’t going to get in this family’s way of celebrating.

Ashley and Mike’s friends offered up their backyard for the event. I couldn’t have picked a better location for their wedding myself. With landscaping that took your breath away and property leading right down to the grand river, taking pictures was a breeze.

Here are a selection of images:

“Ok, I’m nervous now the dress is on!”
Cross processing at it’s best!
I just love this shot!
Very cool details!
I came home today to this great note from the bride:

Hi Emma,

I just wanted to thank you again for everything that you did on Saturday to help make our day perfect. You made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed and I know that that is exactly what will come through in the photos. Every time I thought, “oh, I really want a picture of this,” I would turn around and there you were. You did an amazing job and I am so grateful that I had you there.

The pictures on your website are stunning…it is going to kill me to wait 4-6 weeks to see them all.

Thank you so much!

Ashley

Danu and Nick are one cool couple.

I knew I was going have fun with them when Danu stated.”I like ironic images!”

Then she went on to say “want my wedding photo’s taken on a construction site!” I felt like a kid in a candy store…wheeeeeee!

I have always wanted to shoot in more odd locations. But most brides don’t see the romance in a grocery store.

Jennifer and Johnathan’s wedding was held at the Elmhurst Inn and Spa on beautiful and breezy Sunday afternoon. With all their friends and family surrounding them they exchanged their vows over looking the valley. Except for a bit of nerves-Jennifer had smelling salts on hand- everything went of without a hitch. I must admit I even teared up a little during the speeches. I’ve never seen a couple more meant for each other than these two. It is a true reminder of what love is all about!

Congratulations Jennifer and Johnathan!

I was very honored to be able to document Melissa and Robyn’s wedding.
They are not only clients but very good friends of mine. We had such a blast.
A photo shoot at Puslinch lake and a night of dancing and great food made for a fantastic evening.

Chris Love performed the ceremony and www.karensmallbone.com supplied the stickers for the favors.

Details. Details. Details.

Robyn’s parent’s backyard played host to the ceremony and reception.

Puslinch Lake made an amazing background for photos.

Jen and Jeff achieved one of the most amazing things when it comes to a wedding. Keeping it intimate. Everyone there could see the tears on Jeff’s cheeks and how happy Jen was. The ceremony was sweet and true to their hearts. They couldn’t have asked for better weather. We took pictures while the sun set, very romantic.

I’ll post more later.

Congratulation Jen and Jeff!

Sherry and Marks wedding day started out windy and raining. With an out door wedding planed it wasn’t what they were hoping for. But once again I find myself with a couple that is so easy going that they just waited it out and minutes before the ceremony, the rain stopped.

The ceremony site was a little wet but with the backdrop of the Mill Race nothing could dampen the mood. I was able to grab tons of great shots.

After a quick pint at the Black Badger we went for formal family pictures at Soper Park in Cambridge.

With the rain on the way I thought a perfect place to take some candid shots of the bride and groom would be Southworks Antique Mall. Luckily enough the rain held off and we were able to do the shots outside.

Congratulations Mark and Sherry!
