Wow…another winter wedding -this year has been off to a magnificent start!  I was fortunate enough to photograph Natalia and Jean-Francios’ amazing winter wedding yesterday. We started off the morning at the Union Bank Inn where the girls were getting ready, then the ceremony at St. Joachim catholic church, and then reception at the Polish Hall for a tasty, tasty, dinner. The flowers were the creation of the always awesome Best Buds Flower shop, and our locations for photos were the Muttart Conservatory, Enterprise Square and Louise McKinney Park.

Thank you Natalia and JF for having me along. Enjoy your honeymoon in the Dominican Republic!

Saturday was my first wedding of the year, and after a break I was definitely feeling it in my body the next day.  Shooting a wedding sometimes feels like a pilates class at times!

I kicked off the year with Taryn and Mike – who met in the parking lot of Hudsons. Now, that’s as far as i’ll go with that story because I heard the story about five or six times from different people, and each time the story was a little different.  However, the one consistent element from each story was how Mike never got Taryns phone number, but instead remembered her name and hunted her down on facebook.

It was an exhilarating day, perfectly coordinated by the fabulous Julianne Rapati Cragg of A Modern Proposal, the amazing flowers provided by Corals Designs, DJ services by the always awesome Revolution Entertainment, and catered by Elizabethan. A special thanks to my wife for her as usual awesomeness at helping me out on these long days.

Taryn and Mike, thank you again for having me along on your wedding day. Enjoy this small sampling of photos below.
