Sometimes smaller, more intimate weddings are my favorite ones to be a part of. I get to spend so much time with the families and the bride & groom. I was part of this wedding as the 7th person in attendance at the ceremony, including the JOP. It was very special. I have seen Jeffrey grow up over the years, into a husband.

Almost every summer I have one or two small weddings, and I spend the few most important hours with the couple and family. Showing Love doesn't have to be a big event, showing love can be with just the people who you care about most.

Amanda the beautiful is an amazing makeup artist and wonderful friend. I met Amanda after she came recommended to me to work on with for my sessions. I was happy to meet with her and I have been working with her ever since! Amanda has been working with me for over the past year. I just grabbed these pics of her early one morning before a shoot! She always is so beautiful and fashionable!

Amanda has worked in Toronto, Calgary and Charlottetown over the past few years. She has had the opportunity to work in the Toronto Santa Claus parade & the United Way fundraiser fashion show in Toronto with some of the SOMA students in 2005. Amanda also took part as a makeup artist for PEI fashion week 2007.

Amanda also gives private or group lessons on how to apply makeup properly, recommending products for each person, seasonal trends, and going through some before and after makeup for the people who are interested. You can contact Amanda for her services through her email address or at her Facebook Fan Page .

Amanda won my 1000th fan contest on my Facebook Fan Page. I don't like to call people my fans, rather would say they are friends. I made an announcement on my group that if I could make it to 1000 friends that I would award the 1000th person with a free photoshoot! Amanda joined the group at 1000. I am not sure if she knew about the contest or not but I am glad that she did!

I met Amanda, Jonathan, Venna who is going to be 5 and Gavin is going to be 3! Those children are so freakin' adorable. Venna brought me a map of me, or well how to find me downtown and wanted to show me how to dance. Who doesn't love her already? Gavin was excited to get his photos down and had the cutest little faux-hawk.

This is one of the reasons that I love what I do. I meet the most amazing people doing photography. Amanda & I may have not crossed paths before this photoshoot. Amanda was super sweet and appreciative of the shoot. I look forward to hanging with her again!

Here is what Amanda wrote to me to say about the photos after she seen them! I cried. Of course I cried. I am so connected to my feelings and my passion. It was a grateful cry!

"Your heart must be some large after giving so many people beautiful treasures that will last a life time! Some of the pictures you captured for us were absolutely perfect, like the smiles and giggles you captured of the kids, I know that when I look back at them when I'm old and gray it will take me back so well that I'll remember what those giggles sounded like! You have a very gifted talent and I'm so happy that you shared that talent with us!!!"

Empower the Dress sessions are one of my favorite sessions to do. Oh who am I kidding, all sessions to do with love are my favorite. These sessions are done after the wedding is over and the dust has settled and we can spend some time looking for a location that has meaning to the couple, and create beautiful life long images. I am doing this to create art for my couples.

Location, Dress Empowering & Grooms are all up to you! I have been getting a lot of requests for July 31st, August 6, 7th & 8th, of this summer, which I am all booked up for and have been for quite a while. Why not book an Empower the Dress Session with me if that is your wedding date. You won't regret it!

I am working on 2 things right now. First is my 2011 pricing. Their is 38 requests in the 2011 folder! It will be first response, first served once the pricing is released. I am hoping the couples applying for the positions as my clients for 2011 will tell me a bit about why they want me as their wedding photographer and a bit about the wedding in the initial email. It will help me get to know you better in the short span of an email! Sorry for the delay on releasing the prices. I promised by March 31st, but life got in the way! I will do my best to get them out to you all by this Friday!

In the meantime, my second project right now is that I am still going through and mailing out discs to people who requested them while I was in Vegas. I found this wedding from June 30th, 2007. What a great day of fun! Martha & Dustin were amazing. The group they were with were so much fun. I thought I would post this from back in the day. Martha & Dustin are coming on their 3rd year of marriage now! YAY! Congratulations to both of you~It was a complete pleasure to be a part of your big day!
