Today Krista & Marc will get married! YAY! I first met these 2 love birds about a year ago when they booked their wedding with me. I knew that they would be a lovely sweet couple to work with. THEN when doing the engagement session, Marc wants to do a handstand. I now know that FOR SURE today will be fun to photograph! All of these couples who will do things, including turning themselves upside down for me is awesome!

I cannot wait to see you guys today, we will have a great day together and capture all of your amazing moments!
See you both soon!

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

You can do anything you want to do in your life. Anything. Remember when we were children and our parents always said "you can be anything you want when you grow up". It just sounded like words to our little ears but as we get older and older it becomes more true. My parents also always stressed the idea of Paying it Forward, Sharing & Being Good to People. I feel that I have been extremely blessed with people being that way to me, and since I try to treat others the way I am treated. I am having a little contest, check below for information!

Henri "Hi My name is Henri!"
Michelle "Hi I am in love!"

I have struggled with how to write about this wedding. My sister, Kimmy (who is now assisting me at weddings) & I became particularly attached to this bride and her zest for life. I found myself crying on the way home, realizing how lucky I am to be constantly reassured how to grab life and love it each day at a time. Crying or feeling sentimental for me is nothing new after a wedding. I have heard from other wedding business's that I shouldn't get so attached to my clients, and found this shocking. I usually feel a instant connection with most of my clients. This wedding was also a DIRECT poke from the universe who says that everything happens for a reason. I am now pushing Michelle to write a memoir. I would love to know more about her and her amazing story.

Locations: Fairholm Historic Property & Stanley Bridge Country Resort.
Make-up was done by the oh so talented Amanda May Makeup
.
The whole day was set in motion and kept organized by the wonderful Jennifer Clark of Kiss by the Bride.

I met Michelle and Henri 4 years ago when I first moved to PEI and helped organize the Terry Fox Run. Michelle was our guest speaker, and she has a spirit that just exudes from her. Beautiful pictures of a beautiful couple.

Sonya & Leon decided to go full out with an Empower the Dress session in Cuba & why not! Empower the Dress sessions are so much fun! No worries, just relax, and get some fun pics done. Their is no need to worry if the dress gets wet or a little sand on it! In fact I encourage it! Of course we had a great background to work with with the beautiful beaches of Varadero, Cuba and the sunny sunny day!

We started off the shoot with some photos on the beaches of Varadero and in the water. I was sooooo excited because they then wanted to get the entire wedding party to all jump in the pool at the same time with their wedding attire on. How exciting and fun!??!? I was in the pool to capture them in mid jump. I looked behind me at one point to see what was all the stir and their was about 50 people behind me watching!

Sonya & Leon, wedding party and family were amazing to be around for 2 weeks in Cuba! I loved their excitement for anything that I suggested.
