I just received Sam & Aaron’s guest book back from our book printers and I am so excited! It looks great and fits really well with their black and white theme. Don’t take my word for it here it is:

Jamey & Gord, What can I say? You guys are great. I really feel like we have made two great friends. Thanks for being you! Okay, I can think of what to say now- you two are the most sincere people I have ever met.

Jamey & Gord planned there wedding down to the very last detail. From flowers, seating charts to venue every thing was perfect. There ceremony and reception took place at one location Vespra Hills Golf Course.  Vespra Hills is such a great hidden gem which was only completely in the last few years. This being the biggest wedding they had had there to date the staff pulled out all the stops to keep everything flowing through the day.  Jamey & Gord were so relaxed through out the day that they seemed to be able to take in every moment.

Just a quick note today to share with you Craig & Jennie’s guest book.  They met us in Elmvale for their engagement session and then we headed to some great spots, ending the session at our beach. It was a very cold and windy day so we tried to stay out of the wind as much as possible. It was great to photograph with them both before their wedding day. On the day of the wedding they totally forgot about the camera and just did what they normally would do.

Cheers,
Kate & Andrew

I grew up in London, Ontario which is where I first met Craig back in the halls of STA our high school.  We hung out with many of the same friends. Fast forward more then ten years and we became friends on Facebook.  Things had really changed since the days of high school, Craig had joined the military and met his one true love Jennie.  They met at work and were planning their wedding, which was difficult as Craig was all over the country working.

Their day turned out perfect! They were married at Westhaven golf course in London.  Jennie and Craig both have such great families and friends. The amount of people who had travelled such great distances to be there for them on their day was amazing. All had such wonderful stories to tell about their days together.

We wish them all the best.

Cheers,

Kate & Andrew

Samantha & Aaron’s big day is coming up in September. We had all decided that May would be a great month to photograph their engagement session, the weather had other idea’s. When we woke up in the Sunday morning of there session there was a fine layer of snow covering the ground. Yes, Snow in May!  We drove around a lot to different locations in order to warm up and change up the scenery. In the middle of the session we stopped at Tim’s to warm up and chat, which was great to get to know Sam & Aaron better.  They are using their engagement images for an signature book which I will preview here in a few weeks.

Just thinking back to that snowy day makes me cold!

Cheers,

Kate & Andrew

Andrew & I were very excited to photograph in Algonquin. Being an avid outdoor couple what could be better then photographing in an amazing setting with another avid outdoor couple and their friends? Well, nothing really.

Their wedding took place at Arowhon Pines. (Arowhon Pines is a small, rustic 50-room summer resort located in the heart of Algonquin Park, a huge nature and wildlife preserve.) The staff alone were amazing and really made sure every detail was taken care of.  The resort it’s self is truly amazing if you are ever in Algonquin during the summer stop in for Breakfest or Dinner. I know I will be back sometime this summer.

Megan & Torsten first met at summer camp. Megan’s father was the camp doctor at the all boys Camp Ponacka.  Apparently, Megan picked Torsten out on the first day and the soon became a couple , and as they say the rest is history.

Their wedding day started out rainy and wet but as the day progressed it got sunnier and we had a beautiful sunset by dinnertime.  They got ready at different ends of the resort so as not to see each other and met for the lakeside ceremony.

What a great day.
