    Winter Wedding in Niagara on the Lake!

    Geoff and Jill came to see me to book their wedding last winter and I can’t believe how fast time goes and how fast their wedding day came!  Feb 20th was a beautiful winter day. (more…)

    The only time I spent on the beach this summer was shooting family portraits and weddings!  This summer went by so quickly!  With so much rain in June and July, it left only August really to go and I never had the chance!   Thanks to  Katie and Chris from Ridgeway I got a chance to spend some time on a beach!  However, of course, we had to work quickly as a big black cloud was heading our way!  A great couple,  great wedding party, and it was fun!

    Niagara Weddings in the Rain!

    I’m getting used to it now!  Every day it rains…..every saturday it rains….just sometimes it rains more than others!  Some days it rains ALL day…..some days it rains every 20 minutes!  Sometimes it is hurricane force winds to ruin everything and some days it sprinkles on and off…..some weddings get thru the outdoor ceremony , then the skies open up and everyone runs…..some weddings the ceremony is ok and then it rains at the park for photos!!  I got the hang of it now….always bring a BIG umbrella….always have a raincoat handy….always hope thousands of dollars of equipment doesn’t get ruined!!!  Every bride suddenly turning relegious on friday nights and praying it doesn’t rain AGAIN!……Hanging roseries on bushes on the front lawns apparently!  — NOT working this year!  Geesh….if I hear one more person say how lush and green everything is , I am going to scream!  I don’t care if the grass is yellow! Yellow is a rather a nice color!  I don’t mind paying more for my fruit- just Puhlease  STOP raining!!!  Next wedding I may need to bring a boat!!!

    Wedding Rose petals!

    Wedding Rose petals!

    _mg_5591.jpg_mg_5169.jpg_mg_5687.jpg_mg_5705.jpg   I did a wedding in June and the bride had brought on the bus bags of rose petals that we used throughout the day. It was really fun!  What a cool idea!  Laura bought them at a craft store. I will suggest this to other brides too!
