Distinctive downtown wedding

Unconventional - that's the word I would use to describe Cindy and Brandon's wedding this past weekend.

We hit a number of downtown photo locations in record time, walking through a sea of tourists calling out their congratulations. One lucky tourist even asked to have his photo taken with Cindy - she looked so beautiful, he probably thought she was a movie star.

I love it when a wedding is a bit different - they got married on a Sunday, we did all the photos before the ceremony, Cindy created the bouquets, they got married at Lago restaurant instead of a church, her mother walked her down the aisle, the first dance was before the reception.... In short, Cindy planned a wedding that defied convention, but worked perfectly for them on their special day.

Congratulations!

Todd and Tamara

I scouted locations for Todd and Tamara's wedding photos months before their big day, but didn't find anything that I felt was good enough for them. It was important to have "wow-worthy" spots to reflect all the time and effort put into their wedding planning. The location also had to be close to Tudor Hall or St. Mary's Church so that their little man could get in the family photos, then be whisked away for naptime.

Finally, a week before the marriage date, the perfect spot presented itself. Mere blocks from the church, and possessing the most exquisite light and greenery in the midst of a drought. Check out the last photo of this post, where Todd and Tamara are nestled under the huge, old tree - definitely "wow-worthy" of this beautiful couple on their beautiful day.

Married: Darren and Cindy

Holy Toledo! What a cool wedding. Darren and Cindy got married on the family farm in style - and in the small town of Toledo. Horse-drawn carriages ferried guests out to the back 40, where this couple said, "I do." Classy, and classic, all tied up together in one happy wedding day.

Congratulations, Darren and Cindy!

Married: Vicky and Chris

Sometimes people think that rain would be a terrible thing to have on their wedding day. But does it look like these people are sad? Vicky and Chris (and their families and friends) made the best of a wet situation, with lots of laughs. As Vicky told me, "I just want to make some great memories!"
Hopefully these photos wil add to their happy memories of their big day.
Congratulations!!

Married: Alex and Ryan

Wow, what a beautiful day for a wedding. Alex and Ryan recently tied the knot at St.Michael's in Corkery, then we all headed over to the picturesque Pinhey's Point to capture some beautiful moments. This scenic spot was a perfect location for their wedding photos, not only because of their love of the outdoors, but because that's where Ryan started it all when he popped the question last year.

Congratulations, Alex and Ryan!
