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!

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!!

Such an amazing honour to photograph this wedding, since I have known both the bride and groom for over a decade! And even more awesome when the entire bridal party is all friends too!

So awesome to work with this amazing couple and very fun group! I am in love with all the dramatic details, the venue, the dress……all fabulous! You must check out the custom head table backdrop (to die for). I love how the reception space at the Red River College campus on Princess St. gave the party a New York feel! Check out my faves below :) Congrats Corin & Jeremy!

The couple used one of their engagement photos as the head table backdrop! SUCH a good idea!!!

This wedding was amazing. Danielle and Jon are so in love, and all the details of their day were just perfect…combine this with a sunny fall afternoon and a gorgeous couple, and you get stunning images :) The planning by Tammy of Divine Weddings and flowers by Peggy of Little Flower Shop were breathtaking. I am thrilled to share the images from this simply stunning day!

Dani & Jon thankyou so much for having me as a part of your day! A big thanks to Rob my amazing assistant for helping me capture every minute of it. Make sure to stay tuned for the super fun SugarBooth post from their reception, coming very soon!

Check out this completely gorgeous outdoor fall wedding at The Gates on Roblin! I have been looking forward to this day since doing the couple’s engagement session last year, the camera loves them! So many gorgeous details here :)

I had trouble narrowing down the images to share, since there were so many shots I especially loved (Candace gave me LOTS of time for pics in the itinerary! She is awesome :)). Please sit back and enjoy!

Michelle & Lawrence {Married!}

There are so many things to adore about this wedding. 1)Michelle and Lawrence are super adorable together, 2) Michelle has the most amazing dress, 3) the bridesmaids have the most fantastic shoes, 4) Michelle hand-painted tiny works of art on canvas for each guest to take home, 5) their friends put together a surprise musical performance for them at the reception which was soooo fun, 6) and there was a horse in the photobooth (sort of ). There are more good things of course! See for yourself!!

Thanks again to Michelle, Lawrence and their awesome families and friends :) SugarBooth post coming right up!
