A MINTER GARDEN WEDDING

This is Sonnia and Jesse's wedding that was shot last week at Minter Gardens.... Gorgeous, rain or shine... the bride & her mom pulled this wedding together in less than a month and it was amazing! Beautiful colours, amazing decor & flowers...... Wow!! Here are some fabulous favs from the day - which was very fun by the way.... and a little emotional too!

Complete with a Dove Release.... VERY cool and love my new camera that shoots faster than I can talk. and came out with some amazing shots!

A DOGGY WEDDING...

My kids are very...... creative ......and imaginative..... Our neighbour has a dog that likes to do bad things to my little doggy... so our kids being the prudent and righteous advocates of no sex before marriage, decided to marry the dogs in an official ceremony in our backyard. Apparently, this is also the green light for my children to play with fire and feed the dogs peanut butter..... but, no one was seriously injured in the planning of this event and it did go off without incident so I just shake my head.....

This is the Blushing Bride

This is the Groof.... I mean Groom...

Some of the Rowdy Guests...

The Bridesmaids...

and finally, the Ceremony....

JUST PLAYIN....

Just playing with some textures.... and colour....

FISHIN...

As a family of all girls and just one boy (Dad), we like fishin, but we don't like the worm part, or the touchin the fish part, or the killin the fish part... it's especially gross when the fish is in the boat flippin around smackin' our bare feet. I didn't have the camera for that one, but you can imagine..... we scream a lot when we fish....

Clarke eating a worm..... (boys are gross!)

We don't own a fish bonker.... so we use beer...

A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE...

These two are meant for each other.... great energy and a great connection.... Lindsay is absolutely stunning and Tyler, he's pretty cute too but both radiate beauty from the inside... just an absolute pleasure to be around and their wedding party are all amazing people too....... I had such a great day with everyone. Here are some sneak peeks... HI GUYS!!

These eyelashes are REAL!

WHEN IT RAINS..... IT POURS...

It's all good now BUT.... last Saturday my brother was seriously injured when his 1600lb tractor rolled over him - it's been a very emotional week.... something I never would wish on anyone.. For what happened, he should have been killed or permanantly damaged, but he had an angel on his shoulder.... His recovery will still be about 18 months, but we are absolutely thrilled that he is alive and will eventually recover from his injuries. Today was the first day that I didn't feel scared that we might lose him. He was his bright eyed, wonderful self, when I walked into the hospital today and I feel as though I can carry on with my life now.

I appreciate your patience.... I have another week that I will need to cut back my studio hours to take care of my nieces and then things should be getting back to normal!! I have been shooting lots, and will start posting major photos here soon..... for now..... I need to sleep! Big Wedding tomorrow and another on Monday!

Peace and Love... and thanking the angels every day..... Life is GOOD!!

YOU KNOW YOU'RE OVERWHELMED WHEN.....

I put mustard in my coffee this morning - what does that tell ya??? Sheesh... I was thinking about work, lunch and getting ready for camping..... HOTDOGS! mmmm.

I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed with getting used to my MAC. Everytime I go to do something, it's like - Oh Yeah.... Going from having a very efficient workflow, to some cut up, I think I can do that on this thing, is NOT fun.... but I'm making strides everyday... Here are a few pics that I took recently... have had lots of sessions ((- thanks to all of my clients that have been so patient with me while I fumble and mumble through invoicing, burning/not burning CD's and attempting to show images on my computer you are all so patient!))

OMG!

I've been waiting and waiting and it finally happened - my PC stopped functioning. It didn't die, I just couldn't run any programs on it anymore.... So, I spent ALL day Friday on the phone 911 style getting an Apple Computer enhanced to suit my needs and scraping together the $$$$$$ to pay for the thing... Whew, that was a hard one... Thank god it happened on a Friday! I've spent most of the weekend setting things up again and will be back at it in time for the long weekend to be over! Thanks to my wonderful husband who is sitting at my feet right now hooking up my network and hiding cords - I hate cords... I LUUUUUV HIM SOOOO MUCH!! I couldn't have done this so seamlessly without him that's for sure, he is the bestest!!
