I can’t believe that our first baby is celebrating his 5th birthday! Seems like yesterday that we brought him home as a little puppy and now his our big ‘little guy’! As is customary, Duddly got his special birthday cupcakes (all of his favorite fruits and veggies, bound with egg) with peanut butter icing! Happy Birthday Dudds – we just adore you!
How adorable are Karen and Mark? They could not be friendlier, more fun or more sweet! I adored spending the evening with them shooting their engagement photos in downtown Milton and am so excited for their wedding. Congratulations you love-birds!
…in love with Karen’s ring!
Ahh love…it’s so sweet!
I cannot believe how long it has been since my last post! I guess I have an excuse as I did have a baby! That’s right – I have been far away from my blog as we have been blessed with a little miracle of our own and I have been taking some time to stop and smell the roses (or delicious baby scent as the case may be)! We are taking the winter off from weddings (we are currently only booking 2013 summer/fall and 2014 weddings) in order to give the little lady in our life the time that she deserves with her mom, but I have made my way back to the blog and would love to start posting all of the loveliness that 2012 had to offer before our little L arrived. So here is to new beginnings – this is what the last 5 months have looked like to me.
Over the past few years, Style Me Pretty has become one of the leading sources for bridal inspiration on the web. It is a gorgeous blog with extreme attention to detail, lovely images and fantastic ideas for today’s modern bride. I always send my bride’s there for ideas and it seems that more and more brides have already been to check it out before I even mention it! It is always beyond a privilege to be featured on SMP as it holds a very special place in my heart as the first major swoon-worthy blog I ever found for weddings. Today SMP is featuring John+Marisa’s wedding from the summer (see their blog post HERE). I loved this wedding and I hope that you will love it just as much as I! Check it out HERE

Chelsea and Matt met in grade 9 at St. Mary’s high school where they share a very large group of mutual friends – even to this day! They didn’t start dating right away, but somehow found their way to each other and 5 years later, they are tying the knot! When I met Matt the first time, I don’t think I would have labelled him the P.D.A. type right off the bat. From what I hear though, he is very affectionate towards Chelsea (of course he is…she is such a sweetheart and gorgeous to boot!) doing things like bringing her bagels to work for lunch….well it may have been uncut and without toppings, but the thought was there! And sweet Chelsea…she is quite the hostess! She hosts everything, is on every committee at school and is a great teacher. She can teach science, can hang out with the guys but also be one of the girls! According to her closest girlfriends, she has a huge heart and an amazing soul.
Chelsea and Matt decided to get married at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club. Matt is a member there and his family have been long standing members for many, many years. This place held a great deal of sentiment as it has been a place of family tradition. As it turned out, I was unable to shoot their wedding because my little girl was due to be born just two weeks after C+M’s wedding day. I didn’t want to take the chance that I might not be there, so I asked a very good friend and very talented photographer to work with my second shooter Emily as a guarantee that C+M would have a fabulous person to shoot their day. As it turned out, I was able to make the wedding day, and I shot the photo booth and reception room details to help out my ladies. Thank you so much Corina of Corina V. Photography for taking such great care of my amazing clients. And of course thank you Emily of Emily Krbec Photography who always has my back! I am so glad that I have such great people to rely on when God decides to change plans for me!! Now on to the photos!!
