Brittany and Bill Engaged!

They are enigmas. That's the best word can I use to describe them. They are both soft and sweet, full of love and laughter. But they are artistic, expressive and ready for fun.

Bill is forever the protector of Brittany. The beautiful, soft spoken, doe-eyed girl. Bill is kind, and never takes his eyes off his bride. Brittany is very girly in a way you just want to hug her! While they are so incredibly in love, you never feel like the outsider when you're around them.

My first time meeting this amazing couple from Toronto was for their engagement session in Victoria Harbour. I met most of their family that day as there was a big party for them too. They never seemed stressed, they just went with the flow....and I loved that!

Their Maid of Honour Erin came for support...and I immediately felt like I was their friend. No awkwardness at all. The best part for me is when a couple is at ease and is not afraid to show their love to all. Even to the photographer they just met.

I hope you enjoy these photos. I can't help but smile every time I look at them.

Too Cute!

I couldn't resist posting this photo from Pat and Paul's wedding two weeks ago. These twins were truly the comic relief at the wedding, and their hilarious antics kinda stole the show.

I think they're adorable in their fedoras!

Baby Brianna

I've taken a lot of photos of the Lewis/Groen family over the years, and in all fairness, I owe them my entire photography career. Without my good friend Kim allowing me to shoot her wedding three years ago, I probably wouldn't be doing this. She took a chance on me, and I am eternally grateful.

Not only that, it's been an immense pleasure to document the birth of nieces, weddings, family photos, etc. I feel like I'm part of their family sometimes....probably because they are so kind to everyone they meet.

About a year and a half ago tragedy struck this amazing family. If anyone didn't deserve to have their father and husband taken away from them so suddenly, it was the Lewis family. While the pain of losing their father is still very real, every day, they are living their lives. I know their Dad isn't far from their minds.

That's why it was an extra special treat to meet Baby Brianna, Rebecca's seven week old girl. It's almost as if she is the gift to the family that may mend their broken hearts. Boy, is she a gift! Brianna turned it on for the camera and her sweet face was so adorable I couldn't believe it.

I love these photos of the little one, and I hope she is every bit as bright and lovable as her grandfather was. He truly was a happy soul...and I think he's watching over this lovebug every day.
