Ryan & Monique's Wedding Day

The day finally arrived- and what a beautiful day it was! I'm sure I was not alone wondering what mother nature would bring us on the wedding day. In the last 10 days we witnessed sub zero days with one great day reaching the double digits. Well the day was a beautiful sunny March day. Monique looked stunning, and Ryan looked very dapper himself. The wedding was beautiful, and as expected Kim and the staff at the Ajax Convention Centre made the entire evening from ceremony, appetizers and dinner a huge success. The guys from Evolution Ent. had everyone on the dance floor and it was a night everyone will remember.

Thank you Ryan and Monique for having Shauna and myself there to capture your special day. We truly enjoyed ourselves.

Monique & Ryan

What a beautiful winters day we had today. Monique, Ryan and I met in Bowmanville for some photos. We started at the north end of the Bowmanville Valley Conservation Area. We couldn't go too deep into the park since the snow was still a few feet deep. From there we took a brief walk into town as the midday sun was melting the snow and icicles from the sides of buildings. Here again are a few of my favorite photos from the day- I hope you like them.

Aydan Hardy

I had a great time with Blair, Stephanie and their 3 month old handsome little guy named Aydan.
Aydan was a great sport and one of the first babies I have photographed who didn't cry when being undressed and made to pose for photos. We did a little posing, then I got to simply take pictures of Aydan, Blair and Stephanie just doing what loving parents do with their little ones. Hold them, kiss them and shine with pride and love. Here are my personal favorites from the day.

Thanks again Blair, Stephanie and Aydan. :)

Cate & Sean's Winter Wedding

On Dec. 20th Cate and Sean were married at the Old Mill in Toronto. It was a beautiful winter wedding - lots of snow and very cold. Cate, her Mom Patricia, and the girls made me feel very comfortable in the beautiful suite they had for the big day, where I was able to capture some candid shots before the ceremony. I met some great family members and friends and a fun DJ who is also a wicked magician named Arthur -owner of Maestro Entertainment Services (secan@sympatico.ca).

Thank Cate & Sean

The Groenevelds

Sunday was a fun day, meeting Steve and Melanie's youngest boy Sam and his 3 bigger brothers Braden, Logan and Reid. I don't know how Steve and Mel do it, but they are doing an amazing job. The boys were on there best behaviour, we took a bunch of group shots, individual shots and I got to take pictures while the boys played, which is always a fun way to capture true expressions.

Thanks for having me by the house :)

Lesley & Peter's Engagement

The engagement photo shoot turned out to be a bit colder then we expected. Peter & Leslie are getting married on Sept 19, 2009 at 4 Season Golf and Country Club in Claremont. We went down to Hayden Shores in Whibty to take some pictures by the lake. It was fun laughing with Peter and Leslie, and I think it came across in our photos.

Kids

When I went to take photos of Khol we all went up as a family to meet Easton's little brother. My kids, Beckham and Riley, wanted to takes some pictures with Easton. And Beckham really wanted to take a picture with baby Khol. I must admit the boy is great with babies and little kids in general- sure makes a dad proud. So Beckham asked Auntie Katie if he could hold Khol and have his pictures taken.

Kohl McCafferty

Last week I got to meet Khol McCafferty- the new arrival for parents Marty and Katie, and big brother Easton. Katie asked me to come over with hopes of capturing some of the same type of images we did for Easton when he was the same age. So we did some of the same photos we took with Easton, and some new ones including pictures of Easton with his little brother Kohl. Here are a couple of pictures of Kohl and his big brother Easton.

The Wedding of Marie and Philip Abbot

Saturday was the big day for Philip and Marie. I arrived at Marie's house for some photos and she was as calm and happy as could be. The weather was beautiful for a nice fall wedding. Once again I met some wonderful people, some beautiful families who dance all night to a great DJ named Ivan. Witnessed some first at a wedding with some customs such as breaking the bread, the pig dance and many other great Greek traditions. Here's a couple of my favorites of the happy bride and groom.

Engagement Photo's with Marie & Philip

Marie, Philip and I went out for a walk around Whitby to take some photos when we happen to come across a wedding at Rotary Park in the Gazebo, who knew you could get married in the park? Here are a couple of pics from our day.
