Jocelyn & Tim {Married!}

It is true that most people would not pick a January wedding date to get married in Winnipeg, and above this, decide to do many photos outside. Well Jocelyn and Tim were unique, this is exactly what they did. And let me tell you, it was pretty awesome! Big thanks to the wedding party for smiling and laughing even with the cooooold winds making it hard, and for the couple for being so patient while my assistant Rob and I whipped around outside setting up lighting! Amazing day, we had so much fun! Thanks Rob for helping me capture every minute!!

Here are a few of my favourites!

Michelle & Dustin – {Married!} New Year’s Eve!

Check out this lovely wintery New Year’s Eve wedding, complete with a theme that echoes the 1940′s! Love the bridesmaid look with the faux fur and gloves, and the amazing florals by Little Flower Shop ! I had so much fun with this group, and you can’t beat a classic candlelight ceremony :) Michelle and I go way back (serving at Boston Pizza, yeah!!), so I was honoured to be a part of her and Dustin’s big day! So wonderful to see you both so happy :)

 

The “First Look”

I love it when couples give me time to play (with light, that is ;)!

 

Happy New Year everyone!!
