The Reids!!

This wedding is especially close to my heart... Meghan is my beautiful sister and Craig is her obvious soulmate. The two got hitched on August 8th. It was an outdoor wedding with no real rain plan, a small tent and an expected 200 guests or so. The way this summer has gone I was pretty sure we were going to have scramble to find shelter. I felt a bit of panic but no one else seemed to be worrying. My dad reassured me that he put his order in for no rain and that I should just relax and have faith. Hearing the sureness in his voice, I did just that. Friday came and so did the rain... apparently. It poured rain all day in every area surrounding my parents property (where the wedding was held), but all we saw was sunshine. It was the perfect day!!

I only took a few shots for Meghan and Craig before the party and put my camera away for the rest of the night to mingle with friends and family. Here's a few from the day...

Okay... so I got a little carried away with the rings. I was a little bored the night before the wedding and decided to take the rings on a little photo excursion.

Serge & Ria - August 9, 2008

I am a wee bit late with this one... sorry guys. Serge and Ria were married August 9th, the most interesting day for weather I have seen so far this summer... tons of rain, sunshine, heavy winds, more rain, more sunshine. Ria and Serge embraced it and no one else seemed to mind.

I have been looking forward to this wedding all summer long. Ria is a dance teacher and I learned during their engagement shoot that they had a surprise dance for their guests... they had been practicing a Dirty Dancing medley almost everyday leading up to the big event. I was so excited to hear this and couldn't wait to witness it. It was by far the most interesting first dance I have had the privilege to photograph. Although I was in on this secret, I was stunned to see another choreographed medley by Serge and his mom and Ria and her dad. It was amazing!!! My face hurt from smiling so much. I can't wait to see it on Youtube :)

David & Sae

David and Sae were married on Saturday. The weather was perfect, aside from the 15 minutes of rain we experienced during photos. Everyone remained calm and the shoot went off without a hitch. The day was filled with both Canadian and Korean traditions. I teased Sae about hooking me up with one of her cousins so I can have a Korean wedding too. It was beautiful! The colours were amazing, and what bride wouldn't want to be piggy-backed by her groom? Thanks guys for such a great day!

Randy & Ashley - July 18, 2008

My third Ashley of season!! Randy and Ashley along with their closest friends and family members boarded the Obsession III at Toronto Harbour on Friday evening. What an experience! The ceremony was held around 8:30 with a beautiful view of the city, a fantastic dinner followed, and then the party broke out until 2:00 a.m.! This was a dancing crowd. Randy and his boys broke out a couple of times showing of their line dancing skills and proved they really were too sexy for the song. Ashley and her ladies broke out into song all night long. Everyone had such a wonderful time and the skyline was amazing!
