The Golden Hour is my Happy Hour

I had a most magical "Don't Trash the Dress" session with Montreal High Fashion Retoucher and Graphic Artist, Kate Mc Laren. She was ecstatic to help with our project.
In case you're wondering if I retouched the retoucher-absolutely not. She really is as beautiful as she appears on film. L o v e l y!

I can't wait to work with her again on some projects in front of the camera and behind the computer screen.

Thanks again, Kate!

Chris and Chris- June 2, 2007

Almost as beautiful as St. Ann's is the orchard that surrounds the building.

Chris and Chris had the most beautiful wedding day in June!

The bride wore a dress designed by the woman who designed her mother-in-law's gown.
The hair was done by Bev at Hive who does incredible up-do work.

The groom is a DJ and we were prepared for the guest's to party the night away on the dance floor.

The wedding was DJ'ed by Winnipeg's artists Mod Marty and his fiancee Indierocker. Together they form a super DJ union called The Beat

The Bride and Groom's first dance was, Sade's-By Your Side. The rest of the night was spent dancing to Motown, New Wave, Indie Rock, Brit Pop, Alternative Retro, and Electro.

What a romantic event! Thanks for the CD to remind the guest's of your special day. I love the music!

Congrats, Chris and Chris!

Image from the Past

Jeff's father was one of the most important people in his life. When he passed away a year ago it was extremely devastating to their family. As a request, he asked if I would re-create a photo of him and his new wife Lara that was like the photo that he had of his Mother and Father on their wedding day. I'm sure that Jeff's father was watching from above and smiling as these two exchanged their vows.

Vows in all Seriousness

Jeff and Lara had been together for many years before tying the knot. They have a really vast array of fun friends that joined them together to witness their ceremony. It was great to have two cameras on them when Don Gunn- Wedding Commissioner asked, "Is there any lawful impediment that would restrict these two from marriage today. Speak now or forever hold your peace..."

There was so much gafawing from their friends followed by laughter!

When Don Gunn started the Apache Wedding Blessing it became abundantly clear of how Westcoast Jeff and Lara's wedding was as it started to sprinkle down when he said, "May you feel no rain, for each of you be each others shelter..."

It was a great wedding followed up at a Rock n' Roll Reception at Logan's Pub in Victoria complete with Tickets to get in! It was such fun night!
