Patricia + Justin :: A DIY Vintage Wedding in Niagara

Patricia and Justin are a very special couple.

I know it’s very easy for a wedding photographer to go on and on about how special all of her couples are… but when I say this about P+J, know that I mean it.

These two are a team.

Impenetrable.

He :: so protective of her, her heart, her dreams, her feelings.

She :: so proud of him, in love with his quirky self, and open to anything their future has in store.

Together these two pulled off the ultimate DIY wedding in Ontario’s Wine Country.

Seriously, this wedding would make Martha Stewart proud.

It makes me proud to have been a part of it.

If I can say nothing else about my 2011 season, I can say that I have witnessed countless moments where the curtain between reality and dreams was pulled aside.

Revealing a better world.

One where true love does indeed exist, and where two people can find their soul’s match in another.

We should all be so lucky.

Joanne + Greg :: An Alton Inn Wedding

Sometimes when two people love each other, the world makes just a little bit more sense.

Um, HELLO Granparents in love.  So sweet!

Loved the venue, loved the food, loved the Bobbette & Belle treats, loved the Stemz Flowers, loved the laughter, loved the friends and family.

You know you’re photographing the wedding of Good People when their friends visibly adore the heck out of them.

Count me in as an adoring friend.

Trina + Greg :: A Fermenting Cellar Wedding

Confession ::

I was listening to Florence and The Machine’s “You’ve Got The Love” really really loud while I edited this wedding.

And I cried.

I cried because Trina and Greg look at each other like two people who are In It.

They’re In It for the long haul.

The good, the bad.  The in-betweens.

He makes her laugh.

And he ADORES her.

It’s so clear.

This is for life.

What a couple.

What a night.

What an AMAZING party.

Stephanie + Demetrios :: Fall In Love, Ride a Canoe, and Jump In a Lake

Recipe for an amazing shoot ::

Take one fabulous couple who recently married, add one stranger’s backyard and a pinch of sunset.  Mix well.

Follow this with one red canoe, a gorgeous lake set ablaze by the setting sun, and a couple who is up for anything.

After all your hard work, go jump in the lake.
