Dennis and Linda

This week I met with Dennis and his lovely American fiancee, Linda! They met at college in the States and became engaged this summer. They wanted to have a few engagement photos done. The session was all taken in Port Dover, I love it there! We just walked the Main street and found some cool places along the way...

Perch Gallery

If you ever visit Port Dover, make sure you drop in at the Perch Gallery! What a great art gallery, so many unique pieces of work! If you drop in, you'll meet the lovely Mac:



I dropped by the Perch Gallery this evening during an engagement photo session. Mac pointed out this perfect antique piece, a funky recycled necklace by Mary Dell.... it says ENGAGED! How awesome is that?!



Stay tuned for the rest of the engagement session!

Miriam and Joe's Wedding!

Melanie and I were ecstatic to be asked to photograph another Zurbuchen wedding! The Zurbuchen's are a beautiful Christian family that we've been getting to know. We photographed Deborah's wedding a couple of years ago and now we had the pleasure of photographing her sister, Miriam's wedding.

I loved Joe's BIG smile when he saw his bride walk down the aisle!

Just like at Deborah and Matt's wedding, Miriam and Joseph wanted God to be glorified on their wedding day. It was evident through their entire ceremony that they served Jesus with their whole lives and wanted to shine His light! During the ceremony they gave their personal testimonies of when and how they made their decisions to follow Jesus. Miriam braided three cords together to symbolize God being in their marriage. I wrote this Bible verse in my last wedding post and here it is again: Ecclesiastes 4:12: "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."


Miriam... beautiful bride!









Congratulations Miriam and Joe! What a delight it was to photograph your big day!

Courtney and Jonny's Wedding!!

Ronny and I were so excited our friends from KWCF asked us to photograph their wedding in Kitchener. Ronny has photographed lots of weddings and needless to say, so have I. But this is the first wedding that we photographed together:)

I went to Courtney's parent's home to get some detail shots before the ceremony...


And Ronny grabbed these shots of Jonny...


As you know, Christian weddings are close to my heart. I love how Jonny and Courtney used the symbol of the three colours of sand to represent their faith. Not only are two joining and becoming one, there are three in this marriage as they both want God to be their first priority in their lives. As the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 4:12:
"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

I love how the bride and groom were able to sit down and worship God through beautiful songs! And then Courtney's step mom sang with Jonny's brother in law... one of my favourite songs!! It's from the Fireproof movie and the lyrics are so true and meaningful.



They had their formal pictures taken at Doon Heritage Crossroads in Kitchener. So pretty there!










Love the shot Ronny got of the cake:


Congratulations Courtney and Jonny!

Brandi's pregnancy and baby Hayden!!

It's so exciting to stay connected with our clients and watch their families grow! We met Matt and Brandi a couple of years ago when they were engaged. After doing their engagement and wedding photos, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to do her pregnancy and baby photos!!
Brandi is one hot mama! She was just a few weeks away from her due date here:






And here's the GORGEOUS baby Hayden! Much to Matt's dismay, Brandi and I has SO MUCH FUN finding new places throughout their house to put baby Hayden!
Like on this shelf...



I love the warmth of this picture:



We put the poor baby in a bowl too. What a happy little guy though, he didn't complain at all!


Congratulations Matt and Brandi, it's been a pleasure witnessing all these milestones in your lives!

Baby Safia

You might remember Matt and Lindsay from when I took their pictures back in May. They have since welcomed a beautiful baby girl into their family! Safia was wide-eyed and ready to party for the whole session! Thanks to the idea from baby Owen's mommy, we ran my hair dryer to keep Safia happy when we'd lay her down!

Matt and Lindsay are such fabulous parents! Safia is a blessed little girl:)



They requested a photo of their feet and set this pose up themselves. I love how it turned out!



Isn't she absolutely beautiful! Sometimes it's hard to distinguish a newborn baby's gender... not with Safia... she looks so feminine and pretty, don't you think?
