She reluctantly walked down the aisle then but I have no doubt she will joyfully walk the isle this time ;) Please note the custom designed engagement ring – I was seriously impressed by this! (and Tim!)

The wedding is set for February in Niagara on the Lake. I’m already looking forward to capturing the memories. Let’s hope we have a few inches of snow that has fallen the day prior on the ground for pictures and just as we wrap it up, a light dust of snow falls as this bride and groom depart in their horse drawn carriage. I can picture it all, but I’m getting ahead of myself, first some wonderful engagement shots…..

How lucky am I to shoot a bride and groom and have them all to myself for 2 hours? These two had great personalities, plenty of humour and they really struck me as perfect together. It was a great time. Love the images we captured! Thanks B&C for putting up with my humour and helping me find my keys! ;)

Thanks guys – I love the results from our shoot. Hopefully you feel the same! :)

10x20b Siblings

 8x12b Siblings            To the outside world, we all grow old.   But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were/ We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We outside the touch of time.  Carla Ortega

I’d like to tell you that it makes me feel like a teen again – but nope. I have enjoyed it though!

The colours were fantastic and we got some terrific shots! Thanks guys, for a great hike and being such great sports. :)

I loved the idea since I have never photographed an engagement session before. This couple was great to work with and I think it shows in the images we captured. It turned out to be a great experience that I would certainly consider doing again.
