Jocelyn & Tim {Married!}

sugarandsoul — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:29:57 +0000

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!

I got to spend a wonderful week with Nadine & Rick and their super fun family and friends for their gorgeous wedding in the Dominican Republic!

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

sugarandsoul — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:50:39 +0000

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!!

Big congrats to Holly, Jesse and Easton as they welcome their new little girl, Oakley!

This was such a fun two-part session! It is great shooting outdoors in the winter, gives such different look! But truth be told…Winnipeg is COLD! I love the two different looks we got for this session, and I had a blast with Jennifer and Dave. I cannot wait to head to Las Vegas with them in the spring!

Just a peek at a few of my faves below!
