Jeff & Lindsey In Love !

Today we spent a couple of hours with Jeff and Lindsey down in Niagara Falls.  It was so, so cold and we actually saw the first snow flurries of the season... brrrrrr! From the fish kisses to the playful leaf fight we got a glimpse of how these two really feel about each other and we're so looking forward to shooting their wedding next October. Thanks for a great afternoon you two!

Baby Natalie's 1st Photo Shoot

What a pro in front of the camera!  Little Natalie is just 2 weeks old, 7 pounds of pure love (her excess skin folds that she has to grow into make her even cuter) ... and already has daddy wrapped around her little finger.  I was honoured today to be able to spend an hour with Natalie and her parents - she was awake and alert the entire time, a real natural!

Chris & Stephanie Engagement Shoot

The weather was a little on the chilly side for our photo session but Chris and Stephanie were real troopers. What a gorgeous couple! We had so much scenery in NOTL to choose from that Peter and I had endless ideas for great backdrops. We look forward to shooting your wedding in April 2009. Thanks for coming out to play today we had a blast!

Echo + Greg Oct. 10, 2008

We had a perfect day, an adorable couple and a fabulous setting for Echo and Greg's wedding.  They are so completely head over heels in love and that shone through all day long.  Peter couldn't stop taking photos of these two, even when they weren't posing for the cameras they were always in awe of each other and capturing great candid shots was a breeze.  Their Hightlight Reel will be posted soon.  We wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

Brittany + Steve = SDE

Our first SDE, we did it!  We had a blast with Brittany and Steve, their wedding party and their family and friends.  The day was absolutely gorgeous!  The ceremony was at St. Thomas the Apostle, a huge, beautiful church in Waterdown. We had the pleasure of working along side Lynn Adams of Caledonia.  Just watching the reactions of Brittany and Steve and all their guests when we surprised them with this same day edit was so rewarding to us.  Thanks again for sharing your special day with us, you guys ROCK!

Apple Picking at Carluke Orchards, Ancaster

Rylie, Cali and I made our annual trek to the apple orchard today.  Unfortunately we're a week too early to pick Mutsus, our favourite variety.  We did come home with 42 pounds of apples though, all crunchy and delicious.  Cali was stung by a wasp right after we finished picking so we had to skip the wagon ride around the orchard, we might have to go back before the end of the month to try again.

Still Motion Workshop - The Evolution from Videographer to Cinematographer

Last Sunday I surprised Brian with an amazing gift for our 7th Anniversary.  Unbeknownst to him I registered him in Still Motion's 3 day workshop coming up in January 2009.  He will spend 3 days with the awesomeness of Patrick, Michael, Konrad, Tony and 11 other very lucky videographers from around the world.  We are always striving to better ourselves, improve our abilities and the quality of our work - and who better to learn from than some of the industry's very best!
