Jennifer and Alex are getting married at their parents home in Mississauga. With the reception to follow at the Fermenting Cellar in the Distillery District. They ventured out to my studio in Puslinch to take some fun engagement shots. The light was stunning!

Here are my favorites from the shoot.

Lee Anne: LOVE! Especially the image with the juicy red & orange flare. Stunning!

DJ Floh Back: Big Pimpin'! Love the hat Alex. The chalk boards are so cute. Lookin' forward to the big day!

I was so excited to shoot Michelle and Jeffery’s wedding. Not only where they totally and undeniably in love……..but this was to be the first wedding ever at the newest Tannery District  reception location. So new, that the location was only finished days before the wedding!

We started off the day at the bride’s parent’s house……

This could possibly be my favorite barebonelove session EVER. I don’t know if it was because Michelle and Jeffrey are  so obviously in love or that the session was in their newly purchased home, or that their style oozed from every corner……or that they were SO obviously in love. I think it may be the latter.

Here are the results of of that session…..

Natasha and Mark were married on their  property just outside St. Pauls, Ontario.

The day could not hove turned out any better……with just a short sharp shower just before the ceremony……which brought amazing clouds for the pictures the day went off without a hitch.

Here are the pictures to prove it!

These two belong in magazines…….their babies will be stunning!

_BBP6070

_BBP6947

Holy Moly can you say……GQ?

_BBP6974

Natasha could possibly be the most stunning bride EVER……..those eyes!

_BBP5995

Even though everyone was worried about the sky opening up…….(there was lightening in the distance while I shot this) I could not have asked for better light and clouds!

_BBP5798

Then the skies opened and we had to run inside while about a foot of rain came down in a 5 min span.

Then back outside to capture the lovely ladies!

July 10, 2010

At the beginning of this year I made the announcement that I was going to shoot more portraits  and less weddings. Just so I could spend more time at home preparing for the arrival of babybone. Well……bam! Portraits abound. Here are some of the results of those shoots……..

This first shot was taken during one of my one on one workshops…….thanks Susie for being such a great model!

brianna phelan: The blonde hair in that first photo is unreal - absolutely adorable. Love the last too :)

Ryann: The giggly one and the red chairs are my favourites! I'm going to have to bug that family for a copy.

Joanne and Eric’s wedding day was in one word……relaxing!

Aside from the torrential downpour that happened as we were arriving on Toronto Island the day just flew by.

Luckily the storm broke and we got a chance to go outside and take some pictures.

_BBP0081

I don’t know the entire story……but Joanne’s dress was a loaner from a designer and was once worn by Elisha Cuthbert.

I have a feeling Elisha didn’t look this good in it! And I LOVE that it wasn’t your typical wedding dress!

_BBP0006

One thing about the rain……it makes the colors pop…..look at those eyes!

_BBP0644

I love this next little sequence……….
