Every girl wants to be adored - to be made to feel like she's the only one in the room... and when I saw Kris & Sara together - wow! Kris absolutely is the perfect gentleman and admiring fiancee. And in return - Sara just beams up at him. It is so beautiful to watch!

We met down at the beach - and although the thunder was booming in the distance, the rain held off (yeah!). I had alot of fun - and am looking forward to their wedding next month!





















Celebrating life and love,

I get choked up and cry at most weddings.... but Glen & Krista (great name, eh?) had me choked up at our first meeting! When Glen started talking about Krista and what she means to him - I got that lump in my throat that meant if I didn't get under control I'd be blubbering in the most unattractive way in a matter of seconds. Not cool.

Since we met I have enjoyed getting to know these two through emails - they are so fun and so in love.. and so cool! They are both musicians which automatically raises their coolness level in my eyes - I mean, I can't even clap! Krista is a high school music teacher and choir director - and Glen does 101 things, including composing music for a little known TV show... you may have heard of it... the Oprah Winfrey Show.

With Glen's complete adoration for Krista and she's just crazy for Glen and has this big joyous laugh... I'm in love with these two!

They put complete trust in me for locations... so we went to the dirtiest, grungiest part of Hamilton naturally. :-)





















This one shows their goofy side!



Then we went to the Sheridan to look for a grand piano - we thought we'd have to come up with some elaborate story... but ask and you shall receive!







Seriously - these two would be kissing - and still playing... making up music as tehy went. Huh? I can't play chopsticks!











Since they gave us free reign - we also thought we should play in the coat check area too!







Again - I love these two!!



One last one... this one is for Krista - she loves Glen in his sunglasses!



Celebrating life and love,

Sunday I met Bob & Jenn for their engagement photos. They had both attended MacMaster University so we met there for photos. It was a lot of fun - although they were so nervous! Doesn't take long for people to realize I'm just a big goof though and nothing to be nervous about!

Sunday's weather was wild! Just before I met with Bob & Jen there was a massive thunderstorm with killer hail too... but by the time we met it had cleared up. But look at these dark clouds that were overhead on their way out...





Then we started strolling the campus - I love the grounds at Mac!! As Bob said, it's too bad that the majority of students never get to see mac in all it's summer glory!
















Then we had some fun in some if the buildings!

Adam and Annie first started dating back in grade nine at Westdale High School. That only lasted a few months... but in their OAC year they reconnected and now.... they're getting married! So, we had to go back to their high school where it all began to do their photos. So much fun!

We met at the Second Cup and strolled over... on our way we found some neat spots!







When we got to the school, I fell in love with this tree's shadow on the lawn... had to figure out how to use it!







We started in behind the school - and I was getting so excited about the old rusty parts and doors... I could have stayed there!







This one I wasn't set up yet to snap - just testing the light... but I love the way Adam is looking at Annie!













And we had to get some around the nice front of the school too!





Adam and Annie are just home from a European trip and while in Paris they received this beautiful umbrella as a gift - it's so much fun!





As we walked away Adam had one last photo request. He remembered the very spot they had their first kiss in grade nine.... so sweet!!!

Yeee haw!!!

This morning I had so much fun! When I first met with Matt and Chantal, I explained that engagement sessions are a chance to have some fun and show some of your personality! One of their favourite dates is going horseback riding - so they had this great idea of going horseback riding for their photos. Today we met at Horseplay Niagara for some fun - as you can see below!

Meet Matt and Chantal - they're so sweet!





And they're off...











Time to stop... and cuddle.













And take time to get to know Lucy & Teddy (the horses)













And then it was time to head in...











And always one to show unflattering photos of myself, (just to remind you why I'm behind the camera and not in front) - I held the caera down and shot this straight up at myself. ha ha

Yesterday morning we started bright and early with Adam & Erin out in Port Dover at the restaurant they got engaged at - David's. If you are looking for a gorgeous fine dining restaurant - this is it! With one floor restaurant, one floor spa and one for a martini lounge - it's sweet! And it has incredible grounds, let me show you some of the photos from the property at David's...









Their puppy came along for some - although he didn't seem too impressed with the cuddling...



After David's we headed down to the main part of Dover...







And then a change of clothes and we headed down to the beach and the ice cold waters of Lake Erie...

Yesterday, I had a fun filled day of photo shoots! Ted & Yvonne are a sweet couple I met last year and am looking forward to their wedding this Fall! Ted has a way of making Yvonne giggle at every thing he says - very sweet. We had fun exploring some new spots as the beach by Hutch's yesterday was insanely busy! So we went and found some less busy spots... and had fun!

This morning I went out playing in the rain soaked morning with Oliver & Deb. These two know how to have fun!! We explored some new doors and alleyways - and had a good time doing so! Then Deb let it slip they had taken swing lessons - how cool is that? They had to show me some of their fancy footwork - so jealous of their moves! Then they brought along their rubber boots and umbrellas.. and we ended the morning by puddle jumping! You know what they say... the couple who plays together stays together!



We found some wedding displays as we strolled... signs of things to come!












































Celebrating Life & Love,

Krista
