Shannon and Jason 26.o8.o6

I don't think I've ever heard so many people say "This is the best wedding I've ever been to!"
And I have to agree with them. A candy buffet, an informal head table, more bridesmaids than grooms men, an amazing attention to detail( Even the water bottles had "Shannon and Jason" on them) made this day completely unique.

Shannon and Jason had already been married a month before so, as Jason said there was "No pressure".

The event took place at the Ben Millar Inn just south of Godrich. The three course meal was amazing and after there was a very laid back receiving line and ice cream cones.

Then the family and bridal party headed back to three cottages they had rented and we did a photo shoot in the orchard near by.

Congratulations Shannon and Jason!

Ashley and Mike o8.19.o6

Ashley and Mike got married on a rainy Saturday afternoon this past weekend. The thing I loved about this couple the most is, nothing could dampen their spirits. They were going to get married out side even if they got soaked in the process. Thankfully they didn't have to dry their clothes after the ceremony. The rain held of for most of the night. A little drizzle wasn't going to get in this family's way of celebrating.

Ashley and Mike's friends offered up their backyard for the event. I couldn't have picked a better location for their wedding myself. With landscaping that took your breath away and property leading right down to the grand river, taking pictures was a breeze.

Here are a selection of images:

"Ok, I'm nervous now the dress is on!"

Cross processing at it's best!
I just love this shot!
Very cool details!

I came home today to this great note from the bride:

Hi Emma,

I just wanted to thank you again for everything that you did on Saturday to help make our day perfect. You made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed and I know that that is exactly what will come through in the photos. Every time I thought, “oh, I really want a picture of this,” I would turn around and there you were. You did an amazing job and I am so grateful that I had you there.

The pictures on your website are stunning…it is going to kill me to wait 4-6 weeks to see them all.

Thank you so much!

Ashley

Danu and Nick Portrait

Danu and Nick are one cool couple.

I knew I was going have fun with them when Danu stated."I like ironic images!"

Then she went on to say "want my wedding photo's taken on a construction site!" I felt like a kid in a candy store...wheeeeeee!

I have always wanted to shoot in more odd locations. But most brides don't see the romance in a grocery store.
