Cold Day, Warm Hearts

It was a chilly Saturday Morning but not too bad considering it is November after all. I was worried about the effects of cold weather… red and runny noses, off color skin tones… as I walked through O’Dell Park looking for the requested fall colors that are hard to come by this time of year. All worries melted away after meeting Lauren and Matt! I was instantly warmed by their genuine love for each other and I absolutely loved the way the laughed together. And I mean LAUGHED! The kind of laugh that brings a smile to anyone who is near enough to listen.

It was a pleasure to spend a little time with them in a “mini” engagement session. The time may have been short but the photos are beautiful! As are the people in them.

Luck of the Draw

It was a stormy day in November when I first met Kelly at The Wedding Show. And it was a warm morning in March when she redeemed the prize she had won. As part of the wedding fair I gave away 3 full engagement sessions which includes 3 hours and up to 3 locations, 50 prints in a Topflight proof album and all digital images on a flashdrive. The response to the prospect of winning one of these prizes was so great, I decided to add several prizes of a mini-engagement session. Several couples were offered a 1/2 hour shoot in one location, 12 prints in a folder and the options to purchase prints or digital images.

Kelly and Jaret were the first couple to book their session and opted to bring along their beloved huskey, Miller,  for some engagement / family photos at Kilarney Lake. This location is familiar to them as they live near by and often walk their beautiful dog there. Portraits are more meaningful when the location means something! The pictures posted above and on my facebook business page show the loving nature of this beautiful young couple . I wish them well with their upcoming wedding and I look foward to my future e-sessions!

A Winter Walk

Saturday’s engagement session reminded me of a saying…

“Take my hand and walk with me. The best in life is yet to be!”

Although it was a cold, windy day with glaring sunshine, the atmosphere was definately warm and welcoming. The happy couple, Stephanie and Conway, took advantage of the snowy setting and were undaunted by the crisp chill in the air. A short walk around the Delta in Fredericton was all that was necessary to see the love, laughter and friendship that exists between these wonderfully open people. Hopefully the temperature will be warmer for their upcoming summer wedding!
