I met this lovely couple at another wedding I did this summer.   They are getting married Sept 1 long weekend 2012, so we decided to do a Fall engagement session.  We went to Edwards Gardens on Thankgiving Long weekend, you can’t get more fall than that, but to our surprise it was 27 degrees outside, so their fall session turned into a summer one.  The park was packed with people, the sun was shining and we had a really great time.  See for yourselves… 🙂

Labour Day weekend, Roxanne and Brad tied the knot at Oakview Terrace in Richmond Hill.  We should have predicted the weather, maybe not the rain but the humidity and the heat because when we did their engagement session at The Badlands, it was probably one of the hottest days in the summer, we melted! So it only made sense the weather was what it was…

Either way, we made the best of it… the rain only hit early in the afternoon and stopped right before the ceremony and held out the rest of the day/night, it was perfect.  Everyone at the wedding, family, bridal party of 14 and guests were super nice and fun to photograph! Al and I got so many great shots, it was hard to cull through them for the blog.  I’ll keep this blog short and sweet because of the amount of photos I included in the blog.

Congrats to Roxanne and Brad!

Al tried some cool composite with them… it looks awesome!

Wendi and Kim are very close friends of mine… We go way back to the age of the 20’s and some fun times! 🙂  When they got engaged it was such an honor and pleasure that they asked me to photograph their wedding.  I’ll be honest,  I don’t usually agree to photograph friends weddings, it’s a lot of pressure on me but I’m happy I said yes… especially after their engagement session.  We went down to Cabbage Town so we can have a mix of graffiti urban and some pretty flowers… nice mixture if you ask me!

See for yourself!

Summer Love’n… how wonderful! This session was number 3 for Kristel + Mike. They are old pro’s now in front of the camera… It’s sad that we won’t be doing anymore engagement sessions… we did, Winter, Spring and now summer… they ordered an engagement session signing guest book, so all the different seasons will look awesome in their book. I call it the engagement “year book” 🙂 I know I’m corny.

The shoot went great, minus the humidity, the bit of rain and did I mention the 9am start time down at Ashbridges downtown. We were dragging butt a bit but it was worth it. We got some great shots if I say so… LOL. I can’t wait for their wedding… September 24th… here we come!

Until then, here are some sneaks from their summer love session!

I met Roxanne + Brad last September at the National Bridal Show.  They are getting married Labour Day weekend at Oakview Terrace.  Its a great venue, the grounds are beautiful.  For their engagement session, we originally wanted to go down town to The Brick Worx… but last minute I decided on the the Caledon Badlands… something a little different! 🙂 It was so crazy, insanely hot outside but totally well worth it.  Photos turned out awesome!  Can’t wait for their wedding… gonna be a fun wedding!

Had to add this one… it was just too hard not to.
