Krista is beautiful on the inside and outside, and Marc, along with family and friends recognize that. From the moment I met these two I could see it. As Marc watched Krista come down the aisle looking as gorgeous as ever his eyes welled up with tears. I have seen this many many times on a wedding day, but it always gets to me. It is just the look of sheer happiness and love all in teardrops. *insert tears of my own here* I usually get a little choked up at this point, yep pretty much every wedding and of course Marc & Krista's was no different!

It was probably one of the hottest days of the summer so far on Prince Edward Island but that didn't stop us from getting lots of photos all around downtown Charlottetown. Their are so many great heritage buildings and colorful places that it makes it easy to use as a backdrop. Although, it was very welcome to have the reception back at the Delta in air conditioned comfort!

Marc & Krista, I hope you two had just as much fun on your day as I had capturing it!

Well let me tell you a bit about my friends Becky & Jarvis. You know when there are people that you meet and you know you will be friends with for a long time. It doesn't matter that you are provinces apart or may have just met. Well these two people have become "those sort of people".

Becky & Jarvis are the sweetest, most adorable people I imagined them to be. I love when I first start corresponding with a couple via email and then I meet them and they are all I have dreamt them to be. This sweet couple live in Toronto where they have graciously opened up their home to me, and have offered me accommodations and travel many times. I went to Toronto the past fall to do their engagement session in the Distillery District and now they were getting married on PEI!

The day had come for their outdoor wedding, and it was a torrential downpour only 1 minute after the ceremony was set to go. With the great planning from Jennifer Clark of Kiss the Bride, we had a back up plan. We all headed back in from Argyle Shore into the Confederation Centre in Charlottetown, PEI where the reception was planned to happen later that day.

Becky had her heart set on outdoor island photos, so I planned with them for the following week to squeeze in (after juggling schedules/flights) an outdoor shoot. I couldn't have them leave the island without doing one. We ended up with a wide variety of indoor and outdoor shots for their wedding album.

I hope the time that we spent together the week of the wedding won't be the last time to hang out with you two. You are both wonderful people and I love how you love each other endlessly and effortlessly.

I'll paint a sun to warm your heart
Knowing that we'll never part.
I'll draw the years all passing by
So much to learn, so much to try.

I'll paint my mood in a shadow blue,
Paint my soul to be with you.
I'll sketch your lips in shaded tones,
Draw your mouth to my own.

I'll trace a hand to wipe your tears
And trace a look to calm your fears.
A silhouette of dark and light
To hold each other oh so tight.

I'll paint the stars in the evening sky,
Draw the light into your eyes,
A touch of love, a touch of grace,
To softly fall on your moonlit face.

And with this ring our lives will start,
Let nothing keep our love apart.
I'll take your hand to hold in mine,
And be together through all time

Today is Sunday, and after two days of weddings in my marathon of 12 weddings in the next 3 weeks, I was beginning my editing bonanza. 2 days of weddings is fun, as they are full of excitement and love. I wish weddings were just the day of the wedding and no work afterward. It would make things even more fun that they are!

So my niece stopped by this afternoon for a quick visit. Sparky Ming Ming said she didn't want to leave, which of course she knows I would never say no or that she had to go, no matter how much work I have to do. We had a little conversation about work as she settled in.

Sparky Ming Ming: "Why do you work so much?"
Me: "Well I have to, I have lots of work to do."
SMM: "Well Whose your boss anyways?"
SMM: "Can't you tell your boss that you want a day to spend off"
*laugh*
Me: "I am the boss, so I cannot do that, or I would have no work"
SMM: " This is confusing. Do you have any Cheerios?"

It just made me think about how carefree children are, and how simple the world must be to them. I did take an hour or two off this afternoon to spend with my little sweet Sparky Ming Ming. I couldn't believe it, she let me paint her nails, and even let me use pink, as long as some of her nails were blue. So we painted them three colors! Oh I had a great time spending with her escaping being a grown up!

These two love birds are so freakin' adorable. First of all Tyler was the one to get in touch with to book me for the wedding photography portion of their wedding day in Charlottetown. Now, as this is not average, sometimes the groom is in charge of finding the photographer. BUT, this time he wanted to surprise his beautiful fiance with my services to ease her mind on the planning. AND you guys all know how I feel about surprises! I LOVE them! 

Although most of the surprise fell through by the time we did the engagement pics, Jenny was just as excited for the photos. I will photographing these two on their wedding tomorrow as wedding 1 of 2 of this weekend. Yep, folks we are in full swing here in wedding season in Prince Edward Island. Wedding 1 of 2 this weekend, and 1 of 12 for the next 3 weeks!

I look forward to see how much more cuteness can ooze from these two on their wedding day. I could have sworn they could not get any cuter!
