Hope Floats

I can't believe it has been a whole year since Kim & Grant's wedding! We had a fun evening at the Barrie Waterfront for this anniversary session last week.

The rain poured down all morning and into the afternoon, but I assured a very nervous bride that before the time for pictures started, it would stop. A little faith is necessary when you're a wedding photographer, and my hunch was spot on. As we got ready to leave for the venue, the drops ceased falling and the clouds parted just enough to turn Alyssa and Shaun's day into pure perfection. From the tearful first look, to the sunset by the water along Georgian Bay, to the reception filled with giddy dancing children, it was so full of love and happiness and I was overjoyed to be a part of everything.

Love's Glow

The original plan for this maternity session with Melissa & Marvin got rained out, but a couple days later we tried again and got the most gorgeous sun drenched evening. I had such a great time getting to know these two as we strolled around Chingacousy Park talking about how they had their first date at that very park. In fact, they met at the exact blue bench they are sitting on in some of these pictures! Now, they are expecting their first little one in the next couple weeks and I'll get to work with this awesome pair again as they add to their family.
