Paula & Mike Married June 21st

On the most popular wedding day of the year Paula and Mike were married in Trenton
June 21st is the first day of summer and the requests for this day were plenty.

Here we have the bridal party. Everyone was a lot of fun.

There was a bet earlier that morning that included a round of golf and this guy had to go without a sock for the day -- just one was missing. Paula is just pointing that out here in this image.

And here we have half a groom

...and the beautiful Paula

The coupled honeymooned in Hawaii! It's the first time Paula is away form her children. I hope they had a chance to enjoy and not feel to home sick.

Lyndsay & Ian Married

Married in Brockville Saturday June 28th
The couple was getting ready very close to one another so Cailtlin photographed the guys getting ready while I photographed the girls pre-wedding photos.

There was a lot of rain and although the planned outdoor ceremony had to be moved indoors the sun came out for us to walk around the grounds for some photos after the ceremony. We took golf carts to get us to our location on the grounds.

I know she is beautiful!

Caitlin and I were there for a full day and brought along the red photo booth. Click here for the SLIDESHOW
It was truly a blast!

Ms. M is now 7 months

My niece is so easy to photograph because she loves her Aunt Jenna, lol -- jk
However, she is really easy to photograph because she knows me and I make the same silly noises to her in and out of the studio to get her smiling.

This one below is my moms favorite.

Here is one of my son with my niece. He is great with her :)

She will be back very soon for some more photos my sister and I have planned. She just may be Pictons most photographed baby, lol

Michelle & Jeff

I had a great time with Michelle and Jeff for their engagement photos. They are a lot of fun.

They were to be married this past Saturday but their wedding location became unavailable with little time before the set date...and after their wedding invitations were out. Michelle was already booked with another photographer but after having to move her date she called me to see what Saturdays I had available this year. At the time I had July 5th and an October date so she booked July 5th with me :)

As we were shooting Caitlyn (second shooter with me) rode by on her bike so I was able to introduce them as Caitlyn will be there the day of the wedding as well. She is a fantastic photographer.

I usually don't post more than 5 photos per session but the couple was up for anything and I love the results

Just over a year now!

Ms. S came into the studio about 6 months ago when she was first sitting up. Now she is walking and running around very well :)

Here are just two of my favorites from a last session.

Renata & Jordan

Engaged to be married this August!

The couple and I got together yesterday afternoon for a few engagement photos. This was the first time we had met and they are fantastic! I look forward to their upcoming wedding.

Yes, I'm still here

...and very busy I have been photographing like crazy and working non stop (or so it feels) to keep on top of things. I was planing on going to bed at midnight but it's now past 1am and I'm still pushing RAWs through.

I do have lots of photos/stories to share...once I get around to it.

Here's what's new/what I have been up to:

1. I have some great help/second shooters this year! They are amazing and I hope to chat more about them soon.
2. My son is now on summer holidays! Yipee!
3. I'm moving at the end of July (still local)
4. I have pink and purple hair...it clips in and out, lol. No worries there for my more formal brides ;)
5. I haven't taken photos that are not work related it what feels like a very long time
6. I have been paying off debt like a mad women :)
8. I'm almost all moved into the 'new' studio...should be by July 8th :)
9. I have the most amazing brides and grooms this year!
10. I hope to get back to sharing what I've been up to regularly

I have a wedding tomorrow and another on Sunday - busy weekend!

Hair Contests

Always fun to photograph!
How about that hair?!! What a great colour -- I love it.

Good luck to Krysten-Ashley in the hair competition!

Lyne & Shane Married June 7th

Lyne, posing it up for me on the brick wall

I just loved this window and had to use it.

...and of course the more traditional photo of the couple

Lyne and Shane were married in Lyne's Aunts house. It was a small ceremony of about 14 guests. After the ceremony assistant Caitlyn and I headed to the hall for some photos of the wedding party. It was the hottest day of the year yet at a high of +30. We were all thankful for such beautiful weather after all the rain we have had.

Amey and Tim

Amey and Tim were married just West of Kingston in Amerstview. The wedding took place at a beautiful golf course. Although it rained through most of our photos you certainly can't tell through the formals.

Assistant Nicki and I had a great time with this wedding. The family and bridal party are fantastic. Amey made for a beautiful bride and Tim was a handsome groom. The couple returns from their honeymoon tomorrow.

I put exactly 100 images into a slide show that Nicki and I captured through out the day. FOR SLIDESHOW CLICK HERE

3 beauties!

All sisters and all expecting -- how exciting!

It was nothing but good times and laughs with these ladies in the studio. They were such a blast.

Congratulations again ladies!

Ashley & Anthony

Engaged to be married this July, the couple and I got together for an early Sunday morning engagement session...and a good thing we did as the rest of the day we had a lot of rain.

Ms. F is now over a year!

She is just learning to walk!

Love this one -- she is so adorable!

Ms. F came into the studio at 3 months, for Christmas photos, than again at 6 months and now at just over a year. It's so amazing watching her go from laying on towels and fitting into tea cups to now walking off the studio set :)

I was looking forward to seeing her again as she is such a doll.
