Darryl & Christina | Elora Engagement Photography

I'm finally getting caught up on my fall blog posts.  We had some really beautiful weather this fall, and this day was no exception.  Darryl and Christina wanted to do a mini family shoot before we started their engagement session.  Jaxon was so cooperative and easy going, not to mention adorable.  I can't wait to see him all decked out for the wedding.  Speaking of which; it can't come soon enough.  We'll be heading to Jamaica to celebrate in the sun and sand!  I am so honored to be chosen as their photographer.  Looking forward to celebrating with the whole crew. Let the countdown begin!

 

The Dress | Elora Photographer

Every girl dreams of her wedding day and the beautiful dress she will wear.  What you don't know when you're a little girl is how much you will spend on this dress and how little time you spend wearing it.  So why not make it worth while and throw it back on for another round?  Some people call it a "trash the dress" session and some people call it "bridal portraits".  It doesn't matter what you want to call it, it's brilliant!!!  

Mandy was married last summer in a gorgeous farm/tent wedding with details fit for a pinterest page.  Everything was beautiful including the dress.  Fitted lace with a tiny bow; this dress could not have been made for any other person.  It was perfect for the bride and the theme.  When Mandy asked me about doing a shoot this fall in her dress I was over the moon excited.  It gave me creative freedom that you can't exercise on the actual wedding day.  We stomped through glass, weeds, rocks and water to come up with the end result.  

Thank you for your trust Mandy and for your friendship. I will never forget this shoot. . . for many reasons. ;)  

{Holly & Blake} Elora Wedding Photographer

Holly & Blake were married on June 15th; you know, back when we had summer?!?  After a private first look, we jumped into the bulk of our photos before the ceremony took place. Holly and Blake, your wedding party was fantastic and made the time fly by. I could've shot for hours.  Throw in a couple of adorable kids and a five generation photo and I'm one happy photographer. The reception details were perfect; just the right touches. Congrats to you both and thank you again for having me along to capture it all. 

This is one of my favorite wedding party shots of all time.

 

You would never believe what made these guys burst into chuckles.
