Thanks to Heather and Craig, I can finally say that I have shot a wedding at Stonefields Heritage Farm in Carleton Place! Ever since the proprietors Stephanie and Steve opened the farm for weddings a few years ago, I have desperately wanted to shoot there. It is a great farm setting that is not overrun with hokum – finally! There are no rusty wagon wheels, hay bales, tree swings; just simple, elegant, contemporary-country elements. Heather and Craig surrounded themselves with all of the people who helped shape their lives and that love really comes through in the photos. Stonefields know how to make their clients feel loved and I can’t wait to shoot there again.

Congratulations Heather and Craig!

Jaime and David are many things; marathon runners, triathletes, iron-people. Now they are married! Despite a bit of rain, Code’s Mill in Perth, was a great venue for this particular gathering os super-fit and super-intelligent individuals. It was the first time that I have heard a groom refer to his wife as a two-headed horse, but I am reasonably sure it was an inside joke and that he did not end up sleeping on the patio. Congratulations Jaime and David!

I had the pleasure of photographing Nadine and Dave married this weekend at Sidedoor and Restaurant 18 in Ottawa’s Byward Market; two of Ottawa’s finest restaurants and wedding venues. Despite the threat of rain, everyone stayed dry except the photographer who shot the first dance through the front windows of Restaurant 18 during the downpour. Anything for the photo, right?

Congratulations to Nadine and Dave; thanks for the steak!

April and Mackenzie are the kind of people that, if you hadn’t met the before, you wish you had known for a long time. They invited me to photograph their beach wedding in Sault Saint Marie, on the North Channel between Lakes Huron and Superior, and I was more than happy to do so. It was my first time in the Soo and I hope it is not too long before my next visit. April is the kind that seems genuinely excited to see every person she meets and has a smile that is wildly contagious. Mackenzie is the kind of guy that will invite a relative stranger to break into his garage and borrow his clubs for an evening of mediocre golf. Together they have a group of family and friends that would be most people would be lucky to have, but it is those family and friends are the lucky ones.

Congratulations Ape and Mac!

I was first introduced to Kristen by a mutual friend at the Speaker of the House of Commons barbeque at Kingsmere Estate in Chelsea, Quebec. Once she filled me in on some of the details, like her fiancé Cory wearing his dress reds and the wedding happening at a greenhouse in Newmarket, I was immediately interested. The day was amazing!

Congratulations Kristen and Cory!
