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.
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.
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!
