GANDER WEDDING // MELISSA + DEVIN

It was a rainy day wedding affair for Melissa and Devin.

 

As the rain clouds gathered over head, their family and friends poured into the beautiful St. Martin's Anglican Cathedral in Gander on Saturday. As the rain fell outside, they settled-in to witness the love and committment of two people they dearly loved. No matter how many prayers were said, it rained. And, it rained. All day.

 

Depsite the weather, Melissa and Devin remained calm and enjoyed their special day surrounded by the people they love. They laughed, shed tears of joy and embraced every perfect moment.

 

Rain on your weding day may seem like a downer, but it can also produce some of the most vibrant and interesting images. It's kinda like glitter. It makes a mess...but after it has fallen, everything shines. The light after a rain shower is gorgeous and the vibrant colors of the season come to life.

 

Every Bride dreams of sunshine on her wedding day, but the weather is the one detail you can not control. When rainstorms roll in, you have to roll with the punches, let your hair get a little wet and remember to enjoy the sparkle.

 

 

ENGAGEMENT SESSION // SARAH + MIKE

I may have a new found love for engagement sessions. The more e-sessions I do, the more I love them! Love-love-love. Yes, that's right. That much!

 

I met Sarah and Mike on a beautiful summer day last month. It was high noon. They walked hand-in-hand under a perfect blue sky.  The warm sunlight from above was strong, but gorgeous when diffused by the tall trees or scattered cloud cover. We chose our locations at Sanger Park carefully and I think the images turned out absolutely fabulous.

 

What could be more fun than spending an afternoon with a couple, not only in love, but recently engaged and about to plan a spectacular day dedicated to celebrating their nuptials and crown them Mr and Mrs! I mean, c'mon. I have the best job in the world, right!?

 

Sarah and Mike rocked their e-session and I can not wait for their wedding shindig next July.

 

 

GRAND FALLS-WINDSOR WEDDING // TERRI + NATHAN

They met one August summer day on the beach. A simple and romantic boy-meets-girl love story...or rather...girl-meets-boy...

Terri took a road trip to Leading Tickles to spend the day by the ocean with her girlfriends. She saw Nathan hanging out with friends on the same beach and worked up the courage to say hi. When he said hi back, her heart skipped a beat. It was on that summer day in August, Terri met the man she was going to marry...

Six years later, with their two-year-old son, Ethan by their side, Terri and Nathan were married...on a sunny day in August. Nathan took Terri's hand in marriage and later serenaded his bride in front of a room full of friends and family. Their wedding was the perfect celebration to a romantic beginning.
