karie + lutz | married | harriston, on

Posted in Weddings

I had the enormous pleasure of photographing Karie and Lutz’s wedding. Everything about their wedding was beautiful. Lutz is not a big fan of having his picture taken so I had to be sneaky about it and I think I pulled it off because he still seems to like me. I hid around the corner and snapped a few of Lutz while he was getting ready.

Karie on the other hand is a photographers dream. The camera LOVES her and she didn’t mind me in her space all day long.

Lutz is from Germany and Karie decided to recite her personal vows to Lutz in German. She practiced here in front of her bridesmaids just before the ceremony.

Hilary snapped one of Dad getting ready just before he got to see Karie for the first time in her gown.

Always an incredible moment when Dad and daughter spend time together in private. I choke back the tears so I can still see to catch the moment forever.

The way Lutz and Karie look at each other is….indescribable. Words can’t substitute a photo in cases like this.

There was thought in every detail and it created an amazing atmosphere for the guests to enjoy. LOVE

Karie and Lutz’s son Mr C is pure perfection. I am head over heels in love with this little mans face.

Sigh….

Natalia

Posted in Uncategorized

This spring I had the opportunity to photograph a local high school prom. It was there that I met Natalia. She walked in and I noticed her right away. She is beautiful and confident AND she was wearing such a unique dress I had to tell her how much I loved it! Turns out Natalia designed and made the dress herself. I was so impressed I gave her my card and offered to take some photos of some of her designs to help promote her talent. She is an amazing artist and I am so pleased to have been a part of her path to success.

I contacted a friend of mine who is an amazing make up artist and asked if she would like to be involved. She jumped at the opportunity and she did an amazing job with the girls. If you are in need of a professional make up artist Sarah Veenstra is the best! You can contact her at sarah.veenstra@rogers.com.

Natalia not only posed herself she also brought 4 models with her. I am working through the 600 photos we took that night and will post them over the next few weeks. If you are interested in any of Natalia’s designs and would like to reach her let me know and I will get you in touch. ENJOY!

Hailey + Derek | engaged

Posted in Contests, Engagement

Ok! This was an interesting shoot to say the least! I am the walking cliche….”things happen for a reason”. Hailey and Derek were winners of one of my engagement shoot give aways. Hailey told me she wanted to do her shoot at Doon Mills. I showed up about 15 minutes early to get organized and as I am unpacking my gear my partner Hilary pulls up in her truck….I was shocked as I knew  she also had a shoot but I didn’t realize we would be shooting at the same place! FUN right? So we get to chatting while waiting for our clients and I asked her where the gas station was that Hailey wanted to shoot at. Hilary informed me I was at the wrong Doon Mills!! Ooops….anyone else know there are 2 of those? Hilary gave me directions and I made it just in time to the actual location we were supposed to meet. I fell in love with this place. I had never heard of it before but it was fabulous!

Hailey wanted to get a few photos with their dog Jiggs. He is one…that is all I have to say about that.

Hailey and Derek were both so willing to do whatever it took to get the fun playful shots we got here. As I was shooting this series my sandal broke and suddenly I was shoeless. Sad, because they are my favourite shoes and also because we were walking along a gravel road. OUCH! 

Derek has this B E A utiful Mustang so I asked him to bring it along to the shoot. This is my husbands favourite photo….he would prefer if the couple sitting on the hood would move about 5 feet to the right….then it would be perfect. BOYS!

We get back to the car and head to our next location and as I am loading my gear into the back seat I notice my old rubber boots on the floor. SCORE! I now have shoes again. That was handy!

My rubber boots came in really handy for these shots since I had to stand in the water with them. I guess that is why my sandals broke!!

I will be shooting Hailey and Derek’s photobooth at their upcoming wedding in September. I can only imagine how much fun they and their families will be. I am so looking forward to working with you guys again! xo
