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!













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.














OMG, you are amazing.
(07.28.10)My sister is so talented and amazing. Just wanted to say that. :) Gorgeous pictures, you rock!
(07.28.10)Okay, I just commented on the e-session below and now I have to comment on these also. I want to get married again (same man of course), just so you can do the pictures. Your work is wonderful.

(07.28.10)Hi Rachel...
Beautiful shots of two beautiful people. You must be having the time of your life, sweetie. Enjoy!!!
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

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!





What a cutie! I love her colourful nails! Very cool! :)
(07.25.10)Seriously. could she be any cuter!?!
(07.25.10)CUTE! Glad to see you got to spend so time with her!
(07.26.10)Ahhh how fun is this :) I look forward to these moments with our girls :)
(07.26.10)Smarty toes! Thats what we call my daughters when we paint them like that!
