Cassie & Justin ~ Married!

elma — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:36:46 +0000

My first post of 2012 is the last wedding I shot in 2011. Our day started at Mom and Dad’s in Wainfleet, followed by the ceremony in Fenwick and then to Marshville for wedding pics (what a great location!) Lucky for us the weather was favourable (again for November) AND it was a very photogenic crowd A few more pics then I usually show – but Cassie has been patiently waiting a bit too long. Be sure to check facebook and the website for their wedding albums!

Congrats you two, thanks for a wonderful day. Turned out great eh!?!?!?

The Farmer takes a Wife

Another memorable wedding! One of my favourite things about this wedding was how the bride incorporated the wheat in her bouquet. I also enjoyed that we were able to capture a lot about this couples personality but using their own farm tractor and rural locations for our photoshoot. We truly captured who they are.

Church; Vineland Mennonite Brethren Church

Bouquets: The Watering Can

Venue; Twenty Valley Golf and Country Club

Thanks N&C for making March 26, 2011 so memorable!

Lindsay & Joe’s Wedding

Last month I had the great pleasure of shooting Lindsay & Joe’s wedding. What a wonderful day we had! The bride was stunning, the groom ever-handsome and the locations…….. TO DIE FOR. I had never been at Ridley College let alone the Chapel – it was STUNNING. I loved being able to shoot inside and around the grounds. Although I’m not sure if the bride and groom noticed – but we were running out of time so there was debate as to whether we would make the next location. We did and as you will see from the images below, it was well worth the 7 minutes we spent there! (Yes SEVEN minutes, I checked the time codes twice). Lots of wonderful images and moments captured from this wonderful wedding……..

Elegant Wedding – Feature

elma — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:57:47 +0000

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

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

elma — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:24:35 +0000

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

elma — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 03:26:37 +0000

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.

This wedding reception was at Inn on the Twenty in Jordan Village. Florals by My Bouquet.

Prior to the reception the ceremony took place in the vineyards at Cave Springs in Beamsville. I thought it was stunning! Total elegance!
