Where are the wild things?

2011-10-23T23:58:00.000-04:00

A photo shoot with some amazing women gave us all a chance to step out of the box and do something fun and "wild"! Unfortunately we couldn't control the weather that day so we had some high winds, rain, and cold temperatures to work around. Never the less we got some great images in a very short time frame.

Big thanks to http://belleoftheballbynicole.com/ for the amazing hair styles

Bekki Willis for the awesome make-up artist

And Donna Gardiner for all your help coordinating the outfits.. just amazing!!

This is shot with the Canon 5DM2 both video+photo. This was my first try with the video... and it was done without a tripod or steadicam so I apologize now for the camera shake :)

Mandi and Dan | July 24, 2010

2010-11-30T13:19:00.003-05:00

It was like something out of the movie Grease! This 50's theme wedding was full of color and everywhere you looked there was someone in a poodle shirt, or a leather jacket, blue jeans, and even someone sporting the Fonzie wig!
I loved everything about this wedding! It just so happen to fall on my 100th wedding and I couldn't have picked a better wedding to celebrate it!!

Mandy and Jason | July 10, 2010

2010-11-10T13:09:00.005-05:00

What an awesome couple! From what I gather Jason is a bit of a jokester....

One of my favourite parts of the evening was when they played a game where Mandy was blindfolded and people lined up and she had to guess which man was her husband by feeling their backsides. There were a variety of people in this line up including groomsmen, the father in law, and even a sister in law. The best part was when she came to Jason and knew for sure she picked the right behind...but while she was taking her blind fold off Jason and her brother switched places!!

Here are some more images from their beautiful wedding day!!

New Website & Holiday deadlines

2010-11-09T13:53:00.002-05:00

If you have been on my website in the last couple days you may have noticed my galleries aren't working. I am in the process of switching over to a new website and I hope to have it up with a few days. I hope it looks great!

Holidays are right around the corner and to ensure you get those photos back in time for Christmas you must book in your shoots within the next week and a half.
If you would like to order Christmas cards, prints, canvases, etc all orders must be in no later that November 22!!!

I will be announcing some Christmas minis coming up at the end of November, beginning of December.

I am also looking in to having a day with Santa. This would be a day where you could bring the kids in (no appointment necessary) and have their photos taken with Santa. You'll have your photo printed on the spot.

I was also thinking of holding mini shoots for your pets. I am not sure if there is much interest in this area but if you think its a great idea and you'd love to get some holiday photos done of your pets let me know.. I'd love to hear from you.

Don't forget to order your gift certificates in time for Christmas. You can purchase these in any amount. Perfect for you mom, wife, sister, best friend, etc!!

Jacquie and Simon

2010-11-05T23:51:00.003-04:00

Jacquie and Simon met overseas while both attending college in Austria.... Jacquie from Canada and Simon from Germany. Not even the Atlantic Ocean could keep this couple from being apart!!

So why not have 3 excuses to have 3 different weddings!! They had a wedding over in Germany, a wedding in Toronto, and then a beautiful summer wedding reception up in Meaford at Jacquie's parents beautiful waterfront over looking Georgian Bay.

It was a stress free event full of great people, delicious h'orderves, amazing weather, and loads of fun in to the evening during photo booth!

Jacquie and Simon truly are a wonderful couple and wish them all the best in their future together!!

Catching up...

2010-11-04T13:46:00.002-04:00

I was recently told that I don't blog often enough ;) It started off as being a new years resolution to become a better blogger and I just don't know what happened... ooops!! ;) So here I go again, I'm gonna give it another shot!

In the next little while I will post some of the weddings I've done over the summer. Although I only have a couple more weddings schedule for 2010 year I can honestly say this years season was a great one! I got to meet so many wonderful people and their families and provide them with beautiful photos of their very special day!

2011 is already booking nicely. This year I decided to take it a bit easier than the last few and made sure to save one weekend every month for myself and my family. As you all know weddings mainly fall on Saturdays so my weekends are always filled up with work and it's pretty hard on our 3 little ladies. So for their sake an mine I've tried my best to make sure to leave one weekend for them per month.
That being said there only a limited amount of Saturdays available next year. June, July, and September fully booked. I have 2 available weekends left in August but am only reserving one .. first come first serve there :)
As for May and October there is still available dates there. If your interested in a consultation give me a call or send me an email and I'd love to meet with you and discuss wedding details!!

In the next few days or so my website may be down. I am getting a new website ... quite similar to the one I have currently but I like change once in a while.

If you haven't joined me on Facebook yet please do so. That seems to be where I am most current with my postings and information these days. CLICK HERE

Wow... look at that.. I've rambled on enough for one post! Stay tuned for some upcoming wedding posts full of photos!!

Stephanie and Craig | E-Session

2010-10-07T17:34:00.003-04:00

Back on the August long weekend I took a drive up to the Bridgenorth area to photograph this fantastic couple. They are getting having their reception at the beautiful Viamede Resort next June. We took these photos at Stephanie's grandparents trailer park. They own this beautiful land that will make a great location for their ceremony!
I don't think Craig thought he'd have as much fun as he did with this shoot ;)

Enjoy!

Tammy & Jason | Maternity Session

2010-09-04T02:16:00.004-04:00

I had the pleasure photographing Tammy and Jay's maternity session. The shoot started out in the studio, then we later ventured outside for some fun shots in the corn field.
Isn't Tammy just glowing with joy!!
Looking forward to meeting baby Bentley very soon!!

Erin & Pat | E-Session

2010-08-19T17:13:00.003-04:00

I haven't shared an engagement session for a while and I just finished edited this adorable couple. Their wedding is set to take place this October so we sneaked some engagement photos in just in time!

It was a hot and sticky evening so why not finish it off with a dip in some waterfalls!!! I must say the water was gorgeous! I was in it by the end of the shoot as well.. but not quite to their extent ;)

5 Years and over 100 weddings!!!

2010-08-18T11:46:00.005-04:00

I can't thank everyone enough for the continued love and support you all have given me over the past 5 years. I never would have thought 5 years ago I'd be where I am today! Time sure flies by and I just love watching couples go from being engaged, to getting married, to starting their own families and photographing them as they grow. It's such a beautiful journey and I am so grateful for being apart of it all. I absolutely love what I do and its all because of all of you!!!

This year on July 24, 2010 marked my 100th wedding! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding for it to fall on than Mandi and Dan's 50's theme wedding. The downpour of rain didn't stop this couple from cutting their ceremony short!

Congratulations Mandi and Dan on your marriage together and for being my 100th wedding!! I'm sure you had a rockin good night! (Their wedding blog post to follow)

Please visit and join my Facebook group where you can find my past 100 married couples. I enjoyed looking back over the 5 years and all the beautiful couples I'd had the pleasure of photographing. I have kept in touch with a lot of the couples over the years but I'd love to hear from you all, tell me whats new and where you've been. Send me your stories and comments!

Please join me on FACEBOOK here.

Thank you all again SO much! I look forward to many more years to come!!

Emiline & Trevor | June 5, 2010

2010-06-25T12:52:00.005-04:00

Emiline and Trevor..... such a wonderful couple!!! I don't think I've ever seen anyone come down that lane way at the Lindsay Golf and Country Club as fast as she did. Emiline was fired up and ready to get married! It was a beautiful day, and I was lucky enough again to get some fun sunset shots!

One of my favs below is of the little girl running away from her big sister just giggling away. So cute!!

Alicia & Stephen | E-Session in Ottawa, ON

2010-06-14T09:47:00.003-04:00

Well, I took the big drive up to Ottawa last weekend. It was a very long, very very wet drive. Alicia has always wanted to have her engagement photos shot at Algonquin College in the horticulture department. What a beautiful job they have done in there! The flowers were gorgeous and with the fresh rain coming down on them it made everything that much more saturated in color!
I got there and it didn't look promising.. it continued to rain. So what did we do? We made the best of it! The best part.... we topped it off with some puddle jumping.

Jacquie & Simon | E-Session

2010-06-10T14:59:00.003-04:00

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful couple last week. Their big wedding celebration is coming up this July! I also had the pleasure of meeting their new puppy named Bogan... so cute!

Just from hanging out with Jacquie and Simon for the hour I can tell they are CRAZY about each other! So cute, so playful, funny, and maybe a little bit insane! Simon hung upside down off one of our trains here in town to give his lady a kiss!

Great session....

Megan & Adam | May 22, 2010

2010-06-02T21:00:00.005-04:00

This beautiful mama was glowing on her wedding day. This group was great to work with, super nice, laid back, and so helpful!!! ;)
I had a chance to get in a little chit chat with the man performing the ceremony right before Megan came down the isle. I really enjoyed hearing his story of how he immigrated from the US to Canada after the war. He was telling me how it was also his wedding anniversary.... 40 happily married years!
Here are some photos of their beautiful day. Their little guy Owen was lookin pretty darn sharp in his little handsome suit :)

Maternity Session {Gina & Kevin}

2010-05-29T00:12:00.004-04:00

I had the pleasure of photographing Gina and Kevin yesterday for their maternity shoot. We started in the studio and made our way outdoors with just enough light left to capture some great shots. Here are just a couple I wanted to share from their shoot.

Sisterly Love {Miss N & Miss P}

2010-05-25T14:33:00.004-04:00

Oh my gosh ADORABLE!! I just couldn't get enough of these two! I'm not so sure the littlest would say the same about me... but with a bribe or two we managed to get some of the cutest smiles! The weather was great and the dusk sunlight was perfect. Here are just a few of the many great photos I managed to capture from our session last week.

Kim and Shawn | May 15, 2010

2010-05-17T16:11:00.004-04:00

It was a tad bit chilly, but it was a photographers dream day! Bright overcast skies!

Kim and Shawn booked me back in 2008 at a wedding show where Kim won the grand prize draw! This day was a long time coming! The wedding took place at the beautiful Baxter Creek Golf Course in Fraserville.

Congratulations Kim and Shawn, I wish you's all the best!!

Here are some sneak peeks from Saturday.

Mother's Day Photos

2010-05-12T17:28:00.003-04:00

Just a few photos to share from the Mother's Day Shoots. It was such a great day. At the end of my last shoot it poured down rain! Thanks to everyone who came out. I really enjoyed meeting each and every one of you and I hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day!!

Amazing Moms | Make-Over and a Photoshoot

2010-04-30T11:06:00.006-04:00

This past Monday I had the pleasure of photographing a group of beautiful ladies. Amazing Moms is a local group of Moms who get together on a monthly basis to inspire, learn, share, and socialize with one another. This month's meeting was all about being pampered and looking fabulous. They had several women at stations doing manicures, pedicures, make-up and hair.

Once they got all glammed up, they had their very own photoshoot.

Thanks again for having me apart of the night. I really enjoyed getting the chance to meet you all!

Mother's Day Contest Winner

2010-04-26T14:34:00.003-04:00

Congratulations Rachel Marple on winning the Mother's Day Contest!
This is a beautiful story about one amazing Mother! Rachel was kind enough to let me share her story with you all...

MY MOTHER

The year of 1957 was when one of the strongest and most pleasant woman I have ever known was born, which just so happens to be my extraordinary mother; the one and only Mrs Marianne Marple.

My mother has scarified so much to ensure her children and grandchildren have always had a safe and warm place to rest their heads at night. Nana, as the grandchildren would call her, has struggled with an illness known as Lupus for most of her life. It is an autoimmune disorder which affects many vital parts of the body. She has suffered from this illness for as long as I can remember. No matter what pain she endured, she kept quiet, no complaints, always finding time and energy to have playtime with us as we fought over whom was going to get Barbie with the pink dress…LOL. She showed us girl’s to share and that everyone will get a turn, and now it’s her turn. I want to make this Mother’s Day memorable!

She has been married for 37 years to my father Gary, which shows her dedication and has taught us to work things out, even when you don’t think you can. If you’re honest, only good things will come your way in life, that’s her famous quote and I love hearing it! Guess what, she was correct again….

What makes my mother so special to me is this;

She is the master of every task, a dependable source of comfort and extremely strong willed. Her inexhaustible love for animals is self explanatory if you go to visit her home in Coboconk, which we have named the “funny farm”, due to her 4 cats and her crazy little doggy….LOL. She’s a woman of substance, with an over sized heart giving back to the community through her volunteer work with the Agricultural Club and Royal Canadian Legion.

She believes in me, when I don’t believe in myself and I couldn’t be more proud to call her not only my mother but my best friend.

Her Loving Daughter,

Rachel Marple

Jennifer and Toby | October 17, 2009

2010-04-15T09:23:00.006-04:00

Another long lost wedding! This was my last wedding from the 2009 season. I loved the location they choose for their wedding photos. I could have photographed there ALL day, it was absolutely gorgeous!

Jennifer looked like the classic traditional bride just glowing with happiness!! Stunning!!

2010-03-31T14:27:00.005-04:00

A long lost wedding.. I know .. so last year already but these two are pretty much family so they allowed me a little extra time working on their photos. By a little I mean ALOT of extra time.... sorry it took so long guys!

Well... just like every Saturday during the 2009 summer season.. it was a wet one!! Luckily it managed to stop raining just long enough for us to catch a rainbow and get in all of our photos!! The fall colors were in their prime and with everything being covered in rain.. it made the colors pop nicely!

Easter Mini Shoot Photos

2010-03-27T12:05:00.005-04:00

Thanks to everyone who came out for this Easter Special!! We had a blast!
Winner the bunny was a big hit with the kids. They just loved her! They hugged her, kissed her, and maybe even pulled a few hairs off her but she was an awesome little bunny.

A big thank you to Amy and her father of The Bunny Farm and Rescue just outside of Peterborough! I got a chance to visit the bunny farm and see the love and passion she has for taking care of these bunnies. She's truly an amazing person!! If your looking to adopt a bunny this Easter please contact Amy at 1-705-344-3572.
I am unsure if Winner is up for adoption but if she is she would make a great addition to any family :)

Meet Winner...

We didn't have any little boys participate this year. Just girls, and aren't they just so sweet!!

Courtney | Trash the Dress

2010-03-17T16:10:00.002-04:00

Back just before Halloween Courtney, Tommy, and I headed out on a very foggy, rainy, chilly morning. The ground became very slippery and EVERYTHING was soaked!!! The inside of my van was covered in the red dirt.

Unfortunately our shoot was cut short due to the cold wet rain but I had a great time shooting this session. Courtney did awesome but was shivering the whole time!

.... and yep... this dress got trashed!!!

No Available Christmas Appointments Left

2009-11-09T10:22:00.002-05:00

I apologize for this but I have no availability left for Christmas delivery. With my daughter being ill for the past 2 weeks it's really set me back. I still have a lot of weddings to tackle before Christmas.
If we have spoke about doing photos or you have have contacted me for a shoot there may still be a spot saved for your session. Please contact me as soon as possible if your still interested.
I might be having a Christmas special in the first 2 weeks of December for Mini-shoots. Possibly even a day for Santa photos. Please join my mailing list for updates and upcoming specials.

Thanks everyone for your continuing patience and amazing support!!!

Jennifer & Andrew | July 25, 2009

2009-10-22T23:03:00.003-04:00

I know I complain about the rain in a lot of my posts, but SERIOUSLY!!
The rain didn't stop this bride!!! She went from rockin photos with a chip truck to doing her family photos in the rain!!! The weather was kind enough to hold off until the officiator announced them as husband and wife though! Well despite the rain, we got so many great shots.. ... soo many that I couldn't choose which ones to share here on my blog!
Congratulations Jenn and Andrew!! I hope you enjoy your photos for years to come!

Sarah + Brent | July 18th, 2009

Beth + Dave | July 11, 2009

2009-09-18T12:01:00.009-04:00

Beth and Dave had one of the most craziest weather days of the summer!!! We had everything from sunshine to downpours to tornado's! The groomsmen didn't have to go to the bar to fill up their cups with ice, they just had to stick their arms out in the storm, instant refill!! The reception was held in the barn. It was beautifully decorated, and then in moments it was drenched by the torrential rain!! Despite the nasty weather we managed to get some beautiful photographs of the happy couple .... and to top it all off we witness a gorgeous rainbow!!

Bryan & Chrystal | July 4th, 2009

2009-08-19T01:28:00.003-04:00

What a wonderful couple to photograph! I would have kept shooting if they weren't already at least a half an hour late for their wedding reception... (Sorry).

The wedding took place in Fenelon Falls. I grew up in Fenelon so I know the place pretty good.... So we quickly made a few stops around town. They were taken in a very short time frame, but I think they turned out nice. Lots more to share but here are just a few.

Melissa + Steve | June 27th, 2009

2009-08-07T18:34:00.004-04:00

Melissa and Steve got married at the beautiful Burleigh Island Lodge in Burliegh Falls. They say the lodge is haunted... I'd LOVE to stay there for a night
It was a beautiful ceremony and a great day... I don't think I've seen such an eager bride to walk down that isle...lol. My congratulations to the bride and groom.. they deserve all the best!!!
I'm still making my way through this bunch of photos but here are a few to share.

Book your fall session NOW!

2009-08-05T23:53:00.002-04:00

I think I was trying to dry out for days! Well not really but, this couple hacked it out in the rain for photos which was totally awesome!! I'd have to say that the GROOMSMEN we're total camera hogs but I had fun and I'm sure they did too! They got the moves!!!
Congratulations Jessica and Adam! Here is just a small peak at their photos.

Just in the middle of editing this wedding and thought I'd share a few along the way.
I still can't get over the amount of fluff that was in the air that day by the lake. Once in a while a fluff still comes floating out of my camera bag! Another wonderful wedding!

We just won't bring up the issue with the wedding dress ;)

Adam & Mallory E-Session (Sneak Peaks)

2009-04-03T18:00:00.003-04:00

I haven't posted sneak peaks for any of my shoots in the last several months so I figured I'd post a little of what I've been working on today.

Adam and Mallory have the most adorable little guy that they brought along for their engagement session!
We decided to go for the urban setting for this one and I'm having a lot of fun editting these photos. Gotta say... I loved the red heels!

Stay tuned for photos from their upcoming wedding this June.

YAY!

2009-04-02T18:18:00.002-04:00

Launched! Finally the new website is up and running. I am still trying to fill the galleries and upload client proofs. If I haven't uploaded your proofs please let me know and I will get it up there soon as I can.

Feel free to let me know what you think !

New Website

2009-03-21T11:08:00.002-04:00

This is so exciting! Finally I am about to launch my new website within the next week or so. The new site is very simple and easy to use. I haven't updated my website since 2006 and figured it was about time. The galleries were in desperate need of updating!! I've taken many photos over the past few years

Clients and their guests will now have the option to purchase prints directly from their proofing galleries. All orders can be shipped or picked up at our studio.

I will be cleaning out all the old galleries so if there is anyone who still hasn't placed their order from their galleries please let me know and I will re-upload your photos.

So I hope everyone will come back and check out the new site soon!

Thanks Katelyn!

2009-01-21T11:11:00.003-05:00

Mellissa & Nick - July 12

2008-08-25T14:39:00.002-04:00

This girl rocks... she does it all! She's even a volunteer firefighter. It down poured at one point but it cleared up enough for us to head over to the firehall for some photos. The boys just got back from a fire call so they were kind enough to pose in their gear with the beautiful bride!

The rain held off and it was a gorgeous ceremony and a perfect evening!

I mean how often do you hear of a little girl who wrote on her club house that she would marry the boy of her dreams one day!

All the best Mellissa & Nick

Lisa & Gary - July 5

2008-08-25T14:31:00.003-04:00

Lisa & Gary were a pleasure to work with! It was a fun packed day full of lots of tears of joy.

Even when the head table came crashing down during the bridal party dance... the party went on! I'll never be able to listen to the Macarena the same again.

I'm so very happy for the two of you and wish you's all the best!

Jenn & Kurtis - July 4

2008-08-25T14:17:00.003-04:00

This wedding took place at a nice little spot in Toronto at a place called Fantasy Farm. With a castle like theme it was just like a fairy tale wedding.

Congrats Jenn & Kurtis!

Barb & Steve - June 28

2008-08-25T13:58:00.004-04:00

Super couple! Barb is so laid back and fun to work with! Started out with rain because I arrived to the house but it ended up being a great day!

Here are some shots from their day.

Leanne & Dan - June 21, 2008

2008-07-24T15:10:00.001-04:00

Just a few highlights from Leanne and Dans day! The weather held out and it was a great day. I was only there a short time but in the time I was there I got some really nice portraits of the bride and groom! Congrats to both of you Leanne and Dan!

April & Ben - June 7

2008-07-08T22:50:00.000-04:00

How proud Aprils dad was to walk his little girl down the isle. Is was a beautiful cottage ceremony by the lake. The weather was hot but a great day! All the best to you both April and Ben.

Thank you Karen!!!

2008-07-07T12:23:00.003-04:00

So Friday morning I was off to photography Kurtis and Jennifer's wedding at Fantasy Farm in Toronto. The wedding went great and the weather was perfect. I left the wedding on time and headed back home. Half way home approx 10pm I heard a large clunking noise coming from my van. I pulled over on to the side of the road pushed on the brakes and a HUGE grinding and crunching noise just got worse. I couldn't move! I don't know much about cars but I do know that when you find a huge pieces of car parts on the ground, it can't be good!
Cell phone... dead! I waited and waited and waited and no one stopped to help me. I flashed my lights, got out of the van, nothing! Finally.. 11:30pm someone drives by slowly and then pulls over! She gets out of the car and asks if I need a cell phone.... I was like oh my god yes! Trying to control myself and trying not cry in front of this complete (but totally WONDERFUL!!!) stranger! I had to get it towed all the way back to Lindsay from Davis Dr by Uxbridge... it would have cost me a fortune. She had CAA come and tow me all the way back to Lindsay!
I just wanted to thank you Karen!!! Your truly a great person! I hope we meet again and your Dad makes a speedy recovery from the hospital! I wish you and your family all the best! Thanks a million!

Christine & Jim - May 31

2008-06-23T14:27:00.002-04:00

It was one of those weird days......it was raining, then sunny, then hailing, then sunny.

Throughout it all we managed to stay fairly dry and get the photos done on time!

It was a great day, congrats to the both of you!!

Out of Office

2008-06-17T18:35:00.003-04:00

Just wanted to leave a quick note to everyone. Sorry I haven't had a chance to return phone calls or emails. My little girl has been really sick for the last week and spent a few days in the hospital. She just got home today and is doing SO much better. She's such a tiny little girl as it is and it just took so much out of her.

Shes so happy to be home and so are we! I think she is lovin the pampering she is getting from everyone!

Tanya + Jason - May 24

2008-06-03T18:21:00.003-04:00

A great day it was for this couple. All sunny skies and much warmer than our last few weekends. The mosquitos were out in full force that day in the field. I think I've been itching ever since. Just a few photos to share.... Still lots to go through. They will be up soon guys.

Julie + Derek

2008-06-02T18:47:00.004-04:00

These guys rock! Totally willing and fun! It was a very very cold long weekend in May and Derek may not have been feeling the greatest (lol) but we made it through the shoot!

Julie has been on the ball with her wedding plans and I`m sure everything will be perfect for their evening wedding on August 16th. Looking forward to it guys!

Here are a few photos from their session....

Comments about the photos or to the couple are always welcome :) Thanks

The new space

2008-04-27T22:44:00.002-04:00

For those who don`t already know... we have moved to a new location on the other side of Lindsay. I have to admit .. its in the middle of no where but hey... it works and its a bit bigger than our last place. We are hoping to have a grand opening sometime in June when all the major construction in done.
I have built walls, laid flooring, hung shelves, trimmed, painted, you name it... i`ve been done it! My co-worker is starting to think I am in the wrong trade!
I don`t have before photos of the new space but I`ll post some of the aftershots shortly.

Mellissa and Nick

2008-04-25T15:47:00.005-04:00

We toured around Lindsay and got some really great shots! Its going to be hard picking the best of the bunch. I love them all!

Below is the first shot of the shoot... they needed no direction... they were such naturals!

I'm looking forward to the big day at Viamede.
