Ashley + Steve took a long and winding road to get to the altar, enjoying each other's company for years before officially tying the knot.  Along the way, they added two sweet children to their journey and recently adopted two others to fill the family van and to embark on another adventure.  On July 11, they exchanged their vows amidst the large company of family and friends, and then, for a bit, escaped to the sights and streets of Merrickville for some time to themselves as husband and wife before rejoining the celebratory party at their home (which, I am told, went into the very wee hours of the morning it was that good!).  Ashley + Steve, thank-you for the honour of choosing me to document the day your six individual parts officially became "one".  xox

I love Christal's style -- it's ever-changing, a bit eclectic, a bit classic, a bit free-spirited but always uniquely Christal.  Her wedding was no different.  It was somewhat boho, somewhat classic, somewhat alternative, somewhat traditional.  I loved that there was a softness AND an edge to Christal + Conor's wedding -- a ying-yangedness if you will.  That balance is best typified with how Christal + Conor chose to "see" each other before exchanging vows:  Conor wanted to keep it traditional and only see Christal as she was coming down the aisle; Christal felt a strong urgency to see and touch Conor before they made it official.  The compromise?  Clasped hands around a door and a stolen kiss with a blindfold.  That moment, to me, uniquely represents Christal + Conor.  I wish you many many years of ying - yang balance, Christal + Conor!  xox

There was a calmness and serenity to Marci + Ken's day, one that comes from careful planning, support from family and friends -- friends who can be even closer than family -- and the confidence knowing the person you have chosen to marry is the right person for you.  The day could not have been more beautiful, and the settings more idyllic.  The smiles are genuine here, Peeps, the love real.  Thank-you, Marci + Ken, for the honour of selecting me to document your day.  I wish you and your little family a lifetime of continued health and happiness.  xox

I don't think there was a detail in Michaela + Dan's backyard wedding that was not sentimental or did not hold significant meaning.  Such care and thought went into EVERY element of their day:  from grandma's heirloom pearls, to a belt made of family broaches, to the bride's christening bonnet and grandma's pendant woven into the bridal bouquet, to the love of pink carnations, to a highly revered quilt blanket, to empty rounds doubling as groomsmen boutonnieres, to proudly displayed wedding gifts made with love, to a tree-planting ceremony that blended all families, to the groom's custom wedding band (that he only saw for the first time when Michaela put it on his hand!) ... the day was filled with meaning and connection to the past, present and future.  However, the day's foundation was not based on carefully crafted details alone:  if you removed every petal and accessory, at the heart, you would have still seen a marriage unfold based on sincere love and commitment, surrounded by the genuine support of family and friends.  Congratulations, Michaela + Dan!  I look forward to the mementos you will now create as "Mr. and Mrs. Logan"!  xox
