sometimes, going inside isn’t best.

it was a very early morning drive to dean and tasha’s wedding – and i’m the first to admit i am NOT a morning person. i stopped at tim hortons for a bagel b.e.l.t. for some sustenance on the way up and it turns out when you ask specifically for the veggies on your breakfast sandwich at the till (no drive-thru for this girl. it looked too long and i was impatient), there’s a really good chance you’re not gonna get it. lesson learned. at least my americano was excellent that morning.

aside from an unfortunate breakfast situation, the day was fantastic. it was stinkin’ hot, but it was fantastic. and to say i’m loving these frames might be understating it a bit.

side note: if you’re in the market for a CAT tractor or combine, the groom could hook you up. he had a claas (CAT for those that don’t know or care about the difference) combine parked outside their reception hall and i think brad was more than a little sad he didn’t get something like that at ours. (and yes, he did try to find a way to get his tractor into our reception hall) turns out you have a bit more pull when you actually sell the equipment…

there’s something that fascinates me about the cake-cutting process at weddings – particularly the spectators and the groups that form.

the playground at the park

a while back, i was able to take a few photos of my cousin’s growing family at the park. why the park? because his oldest daughter can’t get enough of them. seriously, this kid is all about slides – the bigger the better! i had a blast and i’m pretty sure she did too – if the tears that came when they had to leave were any indication!

naomi + breck

this wedding was phenomenal. naomi + breck couldn’t stop smiling or laughing the whole day so not only did i learn that your eyebrows can smile (according to one groomsmen) but it made my job SOOO easy. besides, it’s not everyday that you get to photograph the bride and groom wakeboarding IMMEDIATELY after their ceremony! for sure, one of the most adventurous weddings i’ve been to in a while.

(i had the privilege of shooting the sister of the bride’s wedding last year and there’s really no better compliment than the family asking you to document their other daughter’s wedding!)
