So remember Ross and Becky.....I had a great time doing their engagment shoot in Niagara on the Lake and then I had a great time with Beckys dad in Queenston photographing him and his motorcycyle. It was a fathers day gift from Becky! What a great idea!!
As much as I tried to get him to crack a smile...I thought he was perfect with his serious "biker face" :)

 

 

Well March break is over and life is getting back to normal!!! I love the extra time with my kids. We filled the week with play dates and day trips. Lots of snacks and games and even a movie. (Went to see OZ...great movie!!)
Now back to getting up before the sun and getting back to work!!

So Melissa and Brad were married last summer. I'm pretty sure it was the hottest day of the year!! I went to Melissa's house where you could instantly see the awesome relationship she had with her parents and her brother. I must add that her brother was a shutterbug! I'm sure he took as many pictures as I did :)
Melissa's father wasn't at the house when she was getting ready. He was going to come and pick her up with the Limo and her brother. Did I mention I cry a lot at weddings!! Well, I cried at this one for sure! It was obvious that Melissa was a daddy's girl and after she was dressed and pictures were done she waited at the front door for him to come. When he came it was a moment that I will remember forever and I was so completely honored to share in such an awesome moment in time.
What a great day shooting Melissa and Brads wedding. I am currently working on their leather wedding album and can't wait to show it to them!!

 

People often ask me...what's the big deal with bridal preparations and taking a photo of the gown hanging?? Well....I think this wedding was a perfect example of what a big deal it is. This is the house that Melissa grew up in. It's where she lived until she moved in with her husband. There are so many awesome memories that her and her family have within the walls of this house. Shortly after Melissa and Brad were married her parents decided to move! I'm positive that having her photos taken in the living room where she made so many other memories throughout her life is just another way to freeze time and remember :)

 

 

 

 

 

So here I am attempting to get all caught up from not blogging for so long! (my web designer gives me trouble!)

I love it when a couple is so organized and they book nice and early. It gives me a chance to spend some time with them and get to know them. When I met with Melissa and Brad they had found me on the cover of Niagara Wedding Helper (http://www.niagaraweddinghelper.com/)

I had a great time with them as we found we had much in common! The three of us were big hockey fans and found that sometimes the conversation drifted from weddings to hockey then back to weddings.....sadly, Melissa is a Toronto fan and Brad an Ottawa fan...I myself am a die hard Buffalo Sabres fan :)

I did their engagement shoot in the Fall at Dufferin Islands. It was a place near to Melissa's heart.
