Tony and Jasmine

On July 25th, 2009, the Hotel Grand Pacific held all sorts of surprises!

The day began with our groom, Tony, doing some R and R for men- 9 holes of golf at Royal Oak Golf Course. He didn't have his best game ever- but at the end of the day- we all know who won!

Jasmine had her hair styled to perfection at Fashion Focus and then followed by a make-up application at MAC by artist Jenna Cade.

You have to know something about our bride- she's crafty! Jasmine has been planning meticulously and secretly coordinating all of the details including choreography with her fiance, Tony!

Jasmine looked so pretty in her Maggie Sottero champagne lace gown and her chocolate brown Delicious stilettos.... That was dress one!

Dress Two, was Jasmine's Princess Dress that she had dreamed about wearing her whole life topped off with the sexiest hot pink stilettos and a feather pin in her hair. She dressed like a princess but wore both gowns like a queen!

The wedding was officiated by Don Gunn who put together some beautiful vows.
Here are a couple of sneak peaks from the day...

Wishing you happiness, Tony and Jasmine! Hope you had the time of your life*!
Thank you to Photographers, Helene and Shealyn who helped me with this event!

Aloha from Maui

My Brother-in-Law and now Sister-in-Law are getting married this week in Maui. They are exchanging vows on their favourite beach, Kapula Bay.

I'm just glad we are here to support them in their marriage. I was lucky to watch Kim Aihara and her associate photographer in action at their wedding. They do excellent work! Stephen and Ericka are in great hands. I can't wait to see the photos! Even wedding photographers take a break...but not for very long!

It's Kennedy's second time to Hawaii *blush*. Last year when we were here I was like a mini basketball in a bikini!
I'm on my annual vacation from April 3-April 17. Aloha!

Congratulations, Stephen and Ericka!

Art on the Sidelines

Just because the photo session has begun doesn't mean that it has to be a job. I find I get such a delight photographing the stuff happening behind the scenes.

Neil and April

What a great moment! This was taken right after their formal photographs just before we took off to the reception.

Congrats to Neil and April! I know you two will have a lot of fun in your new life as husband and wife!

Junior Groomsman

I really enjoy the Junior Groomsman's expression in this photo as he hangs out with all of the ladies...
This photo will haunt him on his wedding day I'm sure!

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!

Adian and Elizabeth-May 5, 2007

Adrian and Elizabeth got married at Glendale Gardens on the new terrazzo overlooking the lake. Their day was gorgeous out!
We had a great time photographing their friends and family.

We had a chance to revisit the first place they met. We also took their wedding photo where Elizabeth's Mum and Dad had their wedding photos taken in Beacon Hill Park at the great big tree.

Congratulations, Elizabeth and Adrian!

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.
