Happy Anniversary my Love!

Two years ago today, I married my best friend, Matt in a beautiful beach wedding in Port Douglas, Australia.  It had been a lifelong dream of ours to go to Australia and what better way to combine our wedding, honeymoon and trip of a lifetime all in one!  We had an amazing 3 weeks exploring this vast and amazing country.  


This past Thursday, Matt arrived home with a beautiful bouquet of orange and purple tulips (he knows I love bright and happy colours!) and a hug so warm and loving and ready to start what he calls "our anniversary weekend".  


We will be heading up later today to the Mill Tales Inn in Tillsonburg http://milltalesinn.webs.com/ to have a relaxing getaway with our beloved, goldendoodle Abby (yes they have an assigned room where guests can bring their pets!).  


Today, is rainy and damp and dreary outside... quite different from our warm and sunny wedding day. However, none of that matters...We are together, we are happy and healthy and blessed...


Happy Anniversary to my love, my life and my best friend!  Forever, for always, and no matter what...

Wedding Workshop with Tara McMullen! (continued)

Hi Everyone,


So in my previous post, I shared photos of our wonderful (and patient!) bride and groom, Sabrina & Michael.  


Here are some photos from the bridal prep as well as the e-session with Dani and Bianca.

Wedding Workshop with Tara McMullen!

Earlier this week, I attended a wedding workshop at Pikto Studios run by the wonderful and talented Tara McMullen http://taramcmullen.com/  Tara is very open, knowledgeable and willing to share what she knows!

Both days consisted of classroom instruction followed by a photo shoot with couples who were very patient as well as fun to work with.  Dani & Bianca (from Day 1) and Sabrina and Michael (from Day 2) were real troopers considering the crazy weather (is it ever going to stop snowing?!?) as well as having 13 photographers directing and photographing them.

Here are some of the images from Sabrina and Michael's wedding session. Sabrina's hair and makeup was done by Krista Lynn Samek   She did an amazing job! http://www.kristalynnsamek.com

Thanks again to Tara as well as Pikto Studios  http://www.pikto.com/studio/and to all the photographers who attended the workshop.  It was great meeting you all!
