I’m going to give my age away…29 btw…. ;-) , but I new Chris when he was just 4 or 5 years old and a handful for his mother. It was quite something to see the two of them on the dance floor at his wedding reception and even more an honour that I was asked to photograph their special day. Katie is delightful, beautiful and warming…and I couldn’t be happier for Chris who has grown to be quite the young man. His parents, Brian and Nancy, are sooo proud of the “dude” he’s become. Congratulations you two! Barb and I were happy to be a part of your day and hope these images will help you cherish your special day for years to come.

I am finding that engagement shoots are an important element in the Wedding Day planning cycle. From a photographer’s point of view it gives us a chance to learn about the couple which can help us on their wedding day shoot. What I am discovering however, is that it’s not the technical things I learn that matter most…what matters, is the opportunity for us to get to know one another. I have known Jen for sometime. Her family attends the church I serve and we play on the same softball team. But in addition to learning more about Jen, our time together has given me an opportunity to know Simon. Simon is a warm, gentle soul. Jen and Simon make an absolute great couple. I’m thrilled for Jen, but ultimately, I’m sooo happy for them both that they found each other. Congrats you two! I’ll be waiting in anticipation alongside of you for September 2010 to roll in.

Rain, rain, go away, come on back another day!  That’s the song that was going on in my mind the morning of October 3rd.  It was to be Erin and Scott’s wedding day and the weather was miserable.  When I arrived at the Murray residence where the ladies were getting ready,  I was greeted by a beautiful smile…Erin’s.  She looked me in the eye and said, “not to worry, I had a chat with the big guy last night!”.  As you will see from the images below, the Good Lord blessed Erin and Scott with more than beautiful skies that afternoon.  The love and support these two individuals received from their family and friends was warming.  Knowing they have a Christ-centered start to their new lives is the cause for the celebration.  ”This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!”
