Leah and Clint’s Wedding

On July 19th, 2008 I had the extreme pleasure of covering the wedding of Leah and Clint. I didn’t actually meet Clint until the wedding day. By the end of the day I felt as if we were old buds.

It was raining in Windsor, Ontario in the morning and we couldn’t get photos outside. So, I had the guys gather around the table for a getting ready drink. I told them to ignore me and have some fun. The photo on the top of the collage proofs just how easy it is to ignore the photog!!!

Later I traveled to where the girls were getting ready and was totally stoked when I saw the bridesmaids yellow dresses. It was fun, fun, fun all day.

The ceremony was at St. Anne’s Church in Tecumseh, Ontario. I love this church because the steps outside offer a great place to shoot a group photo of everyone that attended the ceremony.

Off to Essex Golf Course in LaSalle, Ontario for a dance filled reception. Leah and Clint did something that I had never seen before. All the guests were gathered in the cocktail area outside the dining room. The Band leader announced them into the room and they had their first dance with everyone crowded around. It was wonderful for their first dance photos.

 Leah and Clint – Thank you for sharing your wedding day with me. All the best to your future.

Stephanie and Steve’s Engagement Photos

Enagement sessions are SO MUCH fun. Stephanie and Steve wanted to have their engagement session at the King’s Navy Yard Park in Amherstburg. They explained to me that Steve proposed to Stephanie right there in the park. The day that he proposed a storm was coming in and they had to high tail it out of the park.

Believe it or not, a storm was coming in while I was shooting their photos. I was concerned that we would not have time to capture everything. As it turns out, we shot the last photo, the rain came and we high tailed it out of the park.

What a cool story to leave the day with. Thanks Stephanie and Steve.

Jenny and Richard’s Engagement Photos

Let’s give the term “A fun time at the beach” a whole new meaning. Jenny and Richard wanted photos at the beach for their engagement session. So, we headed over to Seacliff Park in Leamington. I got there a little early and saw hundreds of seagulls sitting on the beach. I thought how cool would it be for Jenny and Richard to run through a flock of birds. I setup the shot and away they went.

After that, we played and had a great time. I even got Jenny and Richard very wet while I had them play in the water. They had so much fun they jumped for joy—see the collage.

I wonder if they can do this in a wedding dress and tux?

Thanks Jenny and Richard for an entire beach of fun!

Lauri and Randy’s Engagement

Lauri and Randy told me that they had their first kiss in front of a school bus when they were in the seventh grade. Well then, we have got to get some engagement photos in front of a school bus I blurted.

We headed over to the Shoreline Bus where we captured a few kissing photos. Then it was off to Waterfront Ice Cream in Amherstburg. We had a great time at the ice cream store and then at the park across the street.

Lauri and Randy I am looking forward to celebrating your wedding with you.

Lindsay and Dan’s Wedding

The day started off with nice enough weather wise but the threat of storms lurked all day. Lindsay and Dan celebrated their wedding at the Faith Mennonite Church in Leamington. After the ceremony we headed to Lake Erie and took photos by the water. We rushed a little to beat the storm. I packed up my Canon gear just in time to see the first few rain drops.

Then it was off to the reception at Orchard View Gold Course. The storm rolled in with a fury. The tent was shaking, the walls were flapping and the tent stakes were coming out of the ground. Dan and the groomsmen got busy with heavy equipment and secure the tent.

After some time the storm passed over to a gentle rain. Eventually the sun came out and we even had a few moments to go out and take a few more photos.

Lindsay and Dan, you have weathered your first storm. Thank you for a VERY exciting day!

 

Cristina and David’s Wedding

On June 14th after a morning of rain, Cristina and David were met with amazing weather. The entrire day was just wonderful and not too hot.

I arranged for the two of them to meet at Reaume Park in Windsor, Ontario before the ceremony. I positioned David with his back to the road then Cristina’s car pulled up. After situating Cristina (and making David wait for what felt like a lifetime) I said, “David, turn around and see your bride”. The tears, the crying and the sobs were unbelievable AND THAT WAS JUST FROM ME!

After that we took some time, wondered around the park and I captured some amazing photos of Cristina and David.

The ceremony was held outdoors at the Fogolar Furlan Club in Windsor, Ontario. The setting was intimate, and quiet.

Thanks Cristina and David for allowing me to capture your wonderful wedding day.

 

 

Sandra and Curtis’s Wedding

Can you say FUN FUN FUN? All day was a barrel of laughs, sweet romance and an all around awesome time with Sandra, Curtis and their HUGE wedding party.

When you have a large group of friends together all celebrating a wedding you just can’t help having a good time.

Sandra and Curtis were looking mighty fine. I Started the day At Curtis’s place as was greeted by some amazing looking teeth (See the photos). Then I went to Sandra’s place and was in the middle of the bridesmaids all having a toast to the bride. After the ceremony we went to Kingsville Lakeside Park for a round of photos. Then it was off to the Leamington Portuguese Club for the reception.

Sandra and Curtis, thank you for allowing me to be with you on your most important day.

 

Melissa and Jason’s wedding

I started Melissa and Jason’s wedding day at Jason’s place. What a crew! We started celebrating right away and with 11 groomsmen by his side you know we were bound to have a great time.

We decided to get a real guy photo.  1, 2, 3 Exhale!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rest of the day went smooth, the weather held and we had a great day capturing images.

 Here’s Melissa looking mighty fine

Cristina and David’s Engagement Session

Cristina and David wanted a winter engagement session with snow on the ground and that’s just what we did. We drove to the pier in Belle River and braved the below freezing windy weather.

 Cristina and David were real troopers because in many of the photos I had them take their coats off! Despite all of the blowing wind we had a great time. I posted a few of my favorite photos below.
