The Sunday before last we were back out at Strathmere for the wedding of Lindsay and Bill. It was another beautiful day out in North Gower and everything was gorgeous. It’s only May and I’m spoiled already!
Downtown with Kim and Dan
Last Saturday was supposed to rain… Instead it was a perfect shooting day for what I can only describe as a perfect couple. These 2 super newly weds and the gang were as much fun as anyone we have ever worked with and it made for some great results. We started downtown, had the ceremony … Read More
Sonya & Joe – The Season Officially Starts!
Saturday, April 19….24C! This was a new record for me as I headed to Strathmere this past weekend for the Western themed wedding of Sonya & Joe. It seems like only a couple of weeks ago since their engagement shoot. You would be hard-pressed to find two people happier with each other.
