Elegant Wedding – Feature

Posted on July 23, 2010

Sometimes the most amazing things happen when you least expect them. This month some of my wedding images were featured in an article in Elegant Weddings and as part of an ad for some of the wedding vendors I work with in Wedluxe.  It is always exciting to see my work in print, it just makes me smile to see all the hard work by myself and others shared with so many.

The ad in Wedluxe featured images taken for both My Bouquet, a wonderful florist here in Niagara and Simply Beautiful Decor, both are vendors I work with frequently, in the Niagara area.  The images selected for the ad in Wedluxe were from Nicole’s wedding. It was a wonderful event and so elegant with the white and gold.

The feature in Elegant Weddings also paired my photography with floral design by My Bouquet and the Decor from Simply Beautiful Decor.  The images used for the add and feature in Elegant Weddings were from Mandys’ wedding, such rich and beautiful colours for a fall/winter wedding and so fun to photograph.

Mandy & Tim’s Wedding

Posted on March 24, 2010

In late February Sarah Goblot came down from Montreal to shoot this wonderful winter wedding in Niagara on on the Lake at the Court House with me. It was pretty exciting being apart of winter wedding and shooting Mandy on her big day (well Tim too). I must tell you that Mandy is a SUPER big sweetheart and I love her for being so photogenic! She makes all images look good and Tim too LOL  ;)   Here are a few of my favourite images from their day.

John Michaels/Simply Beautiful Decor

Posted on September 9, 2009

I was pleasently surprisd when I arrived at John Michaels Banquet Hall in Thorold – the wedding decor and hall looked amazing! Angelica and the team at Simply Beautiful Decor took care of most of the decor seen here. From the chairs to the candle holders on the head tables, no detail overlooked! Every chari tied, every draping draped perfectly. The staff at John Michaels were busy with the food while I was there, and let me tell you – it was a FEAST from what I saw. I wish I could have stayed to admire the decor and enjoy for food for the whole evening…. I’m sure all the 350+ guests at this wedding did!

Wedding Florals and Decor

Posted on August 20, 2009

I’ve really been enjoying my work with My Bouquet and Simply Beautiful this summer. We’ve captured some of the most beautiful florals I have ever seen and gorgeous linens and elaborate decor at some of the finest Niagara venues! (I will add that the owners of these businesses and their staff are the BEST people you would ever have the opportunity to work with!)

These images are from a wedding at Chateau Des Charmes in Niagara on the Lake. Florals by My Bouquet and decor by Simply Beautiful.

Married

Posted on June 16, 2009

These two love birds were married a few months back but wanted a few images done outdoors. 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! ;)
