~My love, my life, and my future~

 Today my fiance, Charles, and I were the focal point to the shoot. My parents took direction with the camera and made BEAUTIFUL images for us. My mother's amazing at photography, and even assists me on shoots from time to time.

 It was weird for me to be in front of the lens, and for my camera-shy fiance, it was probably even moreso... but, we had a TON of fun embracing nature and delving into silly poses too. Of course there are the ones that you frame and put on your mantle (or in our case the wall), but we goofed off a bit.

I am truly blessed to have this man in my life. He was the first person to make me feel comfortable no matter the situation. He is the only person to  have instantly "gotten" me. He is my absolute best friend, the love of my life, and seriously my biggest supporter. I've never had someone in my life make me feel so wonderful! I'm so excited to become his wife, and honestly though we're young and some people think we're crazy--it works.

Cherish the Dress: Candice

 There's one thing for sure when I start a shoot with a woman in white, I KNOW she's looking her best. Cherish/Trash the dress shoots can be scary for someone who's spent oodles on a gorgeous gown, but for those brave souls, it can be well-worth it!

Candice put a whole lot of faith in me that day; from letting me choose her style of pictures, to letting me dip her Vera Wang wedding dress in murky water. She was a class-act TROOPER! I have immense respect for someone who can say "whatever you think" to a photographer in regards to her prized possession.

All in all, the photos were a great supplement to the beauty of the dress and the girl! We had SO much fun at Rock Glen in Arkona, Ontario. If you ever just want to site-see in a local and NATURAL place, this is for sure your next destination...just mark that one down on the check list! I can't wait until another beautiful bride puts her trust in me, and goes for it!
