We’ve been having interesting weather this January. We’ve had some extreme temperatures, but it’s mostly been mild and without much snow. A few days before Angel and Shawn’s January 20th wedding, a white wedding did not look too promising, but the day before the wedding the temperature dropped and the snow started falling. By Friday morning, there was a nice, clean, white cover of snow on the ground.

The temperature remained low and the day of the wedding was very cold. This was great for the snow, but not so great for outdoor portraits. We had to try and keep our cameras and our wedding party as warm as possible. Luckily, we had some extra mittens and gloves in the car that were quickly distributed in the hopes of keeping people just a bit warmer as we set up a few shots in a hay barn. Angel and Shawn even braved the elements for a quick walk on horseback down a short trail, but I’m sure that everyone was happy to do the remainder of the photos indoors.

We had a wonderful time at your wedding; thank you for allowing us to be an important part of your day.

Congratulations, Angel and Shawn!

Angel and Shawn’s wedding ceremony and reception took place indoors at the beautiful Victoria Park Pavilion in Kitchener and the wedding party portraits were at Horseback Adventures.

Angel and Shawn will be getting married in just a few months, so we met up with them for their engagement photos on Saturday at the “Kissing Bridge” in West Montrose. It was a chilly day, but the sun was shining (periodically) and there was no rain.

It was nice to see the two of you again. We are looking forward to your wedding in January!

On October 15th, Ryan and I had the pleasure to photograph our friend Melanie and her (now) husband Pat’s wedding in Huntsville. The wedding ceremony and reception took place at the Canada Summit Centre, which was a great setting for the event.

It was raining all day (in fact, it rained all weekend), but the ceremony was set to be indoors, so this didn’t affect a whole lot. We weren’t able to do any outdoor photos, but the interior of the Summit Centre was very nice with a large fireplace and beautiful decor.

Everyone in the wedding party looked fantastic right down to Tyran, the handsome ring bearer and his big sister Kenadie, the littlest flower girl.

Congratulations, Mel & Pat; we wish you all the best! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day.

P.S. We hope our spot on the beach will be waiting for us next August.

On Saturday, September 17, 2011, we had the pleasure to photograph the wedding of Karen and Charlene at the Hilton Garden Inn in Cambridge.

One of the great things about being a photography team is having the opportunity to capture both sides as they get ready for the wedding. I started my day at the hotel with Karen while Ryan met up with Char at their house. While going through the photos afterward, it was interesting to see that we both took photos of the brides’ dresses at the exact same time even though we were in two different places.

The ceremony was beautiful, the weather was wonderful for the portraits at Rockway Gardens, and the reception was lively with plenty of people on the dance floor. It was a day full of joy.

We had a great time at your wedding, Karen & Char; we wish you a lifetime of happiness.

In July, we shot Karen and Char’s engagement photos. See the photos here: Engagement: Karen & Charlene

Last week Sunday, Ryan and I met up with Brett and Julia at Waterloo Park for their engagement photos. The weather was great. The sun was shining and the temperature quite was comfortable. We took a walk around the park, stopping to take photos where opportunities arose.

We had a great time getting to know you guys better and we’re looking forward to photographing your wedding next year!
