Kyle & Nikki - March 7, 2009

I have been anticipating this day for over a year now. Kyle and Nikki were engaged Christmas 2007. About one week later they had just about everything booked including their venue... The beautiful, historic Gibson Centre in Alliston. I have photographed many events at the Gibson Centre, but this was my first wedding... hopefully not my last.

Kyle and Nikki are childhood sweethearts. At the age of nine their parents all thought these two kids would make a great married couple. Fifteen years later proved them all right. Kyle admitted, through many tears during his speech, that he has ALWAYS loved Nikki. I myself was moved to tears for at least the 5th time that evening.

Dinner was catered by Bistro 77 in Alliston. Now I have photographed a lot of weddings and generally the food is pretty good... with the odd exception. I have to say... Bistro 77 was by far the best I have had thus far. Amazing appetizers, prime rib cooked to perfection, even the potatoes were mouth watering... and I am not usually a fan of potatoes. If you haven't been, I recommend you go... right now.

Nick, the DJ from "Keep them Dancing" was a really down to earth genuine guy. To be honest, I thought he might be too nice to pull of the job of a DJ. When he stepped up to the mic, I pleasently surprised... he rocked the house!!

From hair, makeup, to flowers, food and music, this day turned out to be perfect. Even the rain was welcome and made for some good shots.
Congratulations Kyle and Nikki. It was a privilege to photograph you entering the next chapter of this truely amazing love story.
Enjoy!
