Lisa + Kevin

When Lisa & Kevin came down to meet with me about their wedding this October I could tell right away that we were going to have a good time. After knowing someone for a long time and being in a relationship there is a new language that is born. It is a language of ease, comfort-ability and familiarity. Bryan and I often find people looking at us funny because we finish each other’s sentences and always seem to sense exactly what the other is trying to say. So imagine my excitement as Lisa & Kevin sat in front of me and were the exact same way with each other. Two soul mates who have known each other since high school, united their hearts in love and friendship forever this past Saturday and I was so honoured to be there to capture it.

I must confess I have been naughty in not blogging about it until now but I was so excited about their photos that I actually came home and edited them from top to bottom in 4 hours. We had a beautiful day full of blue skies and some of the most gorgeous clouds I have ever seen. To top it all off Lisa & Kevin pushed their arrival time by 5 minutes to get some killer photos in the setting sun. Thank you to both of you and your families for including myself and Katie in your special day. Mr & Mrs Doom you are honestly made for each other and anyone in your presence can sense that you are not only in love but also friends. I wish you both the best and good luck on the new home!

Lisa’s gorgeous shoes

The church was gorgeous and it had this beautiful yellow stain glass window that was letting all this beautiful light from the sunset in on their heads. It’s the first time I’ve had to worry about sun flare in a church!

Kevin’s groomsmen were hilarious – they dubbed me the ninja photographer and challenged me the whole day to capture their crazy faces that they would make out of nowhere – This is their ninja moves!

See! I told you the skies were amazing !!!

I hope you both enjoyed your honeymoon and get a chance to relax this Thanksgiving weekend! I can’t wait to show you the rest of the photos!

Lisa & Kevin – e-session

Lisa and Kevin came in last year and booked with me for their wedding this October, at Marquis Gardens in Hamilton. I noticed right away that they are very funny and totally at ease with each other, and well I’ll say it – they are silly as all get out. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much during an engagement session and despite the heat the time flew.  Check out a few photos from the session!

I loved the light coming through this section so I asked them to sit down in it and relax!

Apparently relaxing = kissing for them hehehehe

Next we went to this great open field to get some big blue sky photos -

this was my fave “serious” one from the bunch

Then I asked them for some “silly” and they came up with this ….

…. and this …..

oh yeah and this!

after all that running and jumping around we all just took a moment and relaxed in the shade

I took these from downstream a little bit to try and capture something a little more candid

I saw the reflection of the bridge in the water and loved it – they totally went back to the bridge and I was happily snapping away photos of them looking in the water and then they just kissed :)

They spotted this tree and liked the curve in it so we decided to take a photo of them in there. Someone (can’t remember whether it was Kevin or Lisa) thought it would be a good idea to play patty cake (the first photo) until they realized it’s probably been a few years since they last played and started laughing (second photo)

Looking forward to October!
