Tonia and John were wedded on August 21. 

Their ceremony took place outdoors at the Grand Falls-Windsor golf club.  It was a gorgeous sunny day… just right for an outdoor wedding!  The location for the ceremony was not too far from one of the holes.  Having only their photographs on my mind, I of course choose what I though was to be an ideal location to be able to catch everyone as they walked out, and as well have a good view of the bride and groom.  It wasn’t long before it was pointed out to me that I was standing in the direct path of the green.  Luckily, someone was willing to stand guard behind me, as a few golfers were approaching that hole.  I was nearly hit once, but I was able to get the shots Iwanted from that location.

The golf course provided golf course for the bridal to use to travel around the course in search of the best locations.  With the help of one of their employees (thanks Peter!) we found some great spots. 

The Grand Falls-Windsor golf course clubhouse has also been recently renovated, and proved to be a beautiful venue for Tonia and John’s wedding reception.  The meal was delicious and the view was breathtaking.   Hope you get to see these before you leave for Vegas tomorrow Tonia.  Enjoy!

Lorna and Andrew were married on August 15th in Harry’s Harbour.  They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony right beside a lovely apple tree that was planted by Lorna’s grandfather, next to her family home.  We gathered underneath that tree for a number of the portraits that were taken that day.  I had the pleasure of meeting Lorna and Andrew last year for their engagement session.  I fell in love with harry’s Harbour then and was thrilled to return for their wedding this year.  Apple tree to the right of them and the ocean just beyond them, there were no shortage of gorgeous backgounds to choose from.  We even went to the famous Harry’s Harbour pinnacle for a few photos. 

The reception took place at the Riverwood Inn in Springdale.  This wasn’t my first time there, and once again it proved to be a lovely reception venue.  I love photographing the details of the reception, and had lots of fun putting together this blog post.

I am still pretty far behind in my editing, but am slowly catching up.  This week I have made a lot of progress making up from my previous weeks of back to school madness.  I am jumping ahead a little in my sneak peeks as  Jillian and Steve would like to view a few of their photos together before Steve has to go away.  Jillian looked lovely in her gold coloured gown, while Steve looked dapper in his top hat.  Enjoy your sneak peek guys, I hope it doesn’t take me toomuch longer to catch up and finish the rest of your wedding!

And by them I mean me!  One of my favourite things to photograph during a wedding is the cake.  I have always loved cake, and especially a cake that looks good too.  My new favourite television show [that I watch while I edit ] is The Cake Boss.  Just saying the word cake makes my mouth water.  So yeah, don’t forget to offer your friend wedding photographer a piece of delicious cake! 

The buzz at many weddings of course is:  “Who made your cake?”  While some brides have talented relatives who put together wonderful cakes, many brides in Central Newfoundland turn to Kim Best of Botwood.  Her cakes are fabulous as seen here (this is the cake she made for April’s wedding.  Oh! she also made April’s fabulous veil).   Kim has also recenlty made a cake that was all the rave at my son’s Pokemon themed birthday party (photo to follow – when I actually remove it from the camera).  Other samples of her creations can be viewed on Kim’s website.

I had the pleasure of photographing April when she was pregnant with her daughter two years ago, and again when her daughter was born.  I was thrilled to be asked to photograph her wedding as well.  April and Keith had a beautiful day.  There was a whole lot of love and laughter between these two as well as their family and friends.   April was a beautiful bride who was just beaming all day long.  It was a fun wedding, complete with a visit from Elvis himself.

Today my baby girl started Kindergarten.  I had to hold back a few tears as I was dropping her off.  She was nervous enough without me showing I was nervous as well.  She really enjoyed herself though and is over all her fears.  My boy also started Grade 3.  Time really does go by so fast.

It is so hard to belive that summer is almost over.  We had a fabulous vacation, despite coming to find Tropical Storm Danny left some water in our basement.  It actually wasn’t too bad.  we just have to remove some carpet that really shouls have been removed long ago.  Back now and am in full editing mode to catch up on all the weddings and sessions that took place in August.

These are a few photos from a maternity session that I had earlier this summer.  Baby has since arrived and I will be meeting the little bundle next weekend for a newborn session.  I haven’t had a maternity session for quite while now, but they are among my favourite.
