Amanda and Sean's Engagement

I have had the absolute pleasure of knowing Amanda for about 10 years. Our parents had become friends first and since we are both so close with our families, we did in no time, too!
Amanda is one of those friends you know you will have for life. She is so caring and calm and always knows what to say, when to say it and to give me a good kick in the butt, when it's needed.
She is definitely the more responsible one between the two of us. She has got the good head on her shoulders and will always make sure everyone is looked after. Me, on the other hand, a little more....wild, crazy, fly by the seat of my pants??!! Not that Amanda isn't like that, she is, just with a lot more responsibility attached to it. None-the-less, we have alot of fun together!!
A few years after we had first met, we found out we looked almost identical as babies!! Ironic?? I would say more like 'kindered spirits'.

Sean is a guy I have not really gotten to spend too much time with. I do know, though, that he has a fantastic sense of humour, treats Amanda like a queen (exactly like she deserves!) and has an immense amount of patience. When you see someone whom you love so truly, as good friends do, you want them to find someone that makes them whole. Sean is that person for Amanda. Yes, Sean, you have won me over and my approval!

Since Amanda and Sean don't live here, and want photos for invitations, we were under tight circumstances to get these photos done. They were going to be in town for only a few hours and so we needed to get these done. I will be honest with you....I have never had weather like this while doing a shoot and I have never done a shoot so quickly!! (like 10 minutes, quick!!) But....I am really happy with how they turned out!

Take a look and let me know what you think!












I think this is my favorite!!


Thanks for putting up with the wind, snow and cold!! I really look forward to taking pictures for your wedding. Love you guys!

Melissa and Trevor's Wedding

Wow!! It has been too long since I have blogged last. Whew! It has been an amazing busy, busy few months! For those of you who do not know, I work full time at an outside job, do the photography thing AND am a Mom to two beautiful kids. Kate is 4 and Scott who is 2. We are also expecting our 3rd baby in April. So....I like to think I have an excuse why it has been so long since I have blogged!!

During the last few busy months I have shot engagements, babies, families and a wedding. So please be patient with me as the next few weeks go on because there will be a mixture of everything.

On to the wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico!!

Since Melissa and Trevor were getting married at a destination wedding, the photographer was included, but they still asked me if I would mind taking photos as well. Of course I said yes!! If you don't remember from my previous post Melissa and Trevor's Engagement, Melissa is my cousin, so I was once again completely honored to have been asked.

Here are some of the photos....

Do you think this guy looks like a proud Dad?? I would say so.


The kiss....


Wonderful light!!


 



 



  Having a little fun!! ( I did steal this idea from another photographer.....amazing idea if-I-do-say-so-myself!)






Melissa and some yoga moves...just for all her Yogi friends!!




My Dad and my daughter Kate. AKA-Dancing Partner's.


There is just something about this picture....



Last but not least...Melissa's other love of her life. Her handsome nephew Tristan.


Thanks to Trevor and Melissa!! I had such an amazing time!!
