Effortless {Krystle & Evan}

What a lovely lil weekend this has been, despite my shoulder injury and the insane amount of editing i have on my plate. The sun was brilliant, the temps were gorge and i got to break away from editing for a birthday lunch and spa day with a good friend (Bonne Fete miss Jones!). I've really been lucking out with the weather this fall, every session i've had this month has been an outstandingly beauty fall day.
I was starting to think that i had taken on too much this month. With all the sessions i've had and have coming up and the endless amount of editing that just keeps piling up. But i seem to be keeping up with it all, despite my lack of a social life these days. I should really consider proposing to my computer and make it official considering all the time i spend with it. But regardless of the non-existent social life, i'm actually enjoying the workload. It's easy to keep focused when there's no time to slow down. Once the snow hits and things start to slow down a bit i might actually get to read a book, watch TV or maybe even go on a date. How exciting!

A couple week-ends ago i had a session with one of my greatest friend and his beautiful fiancee, Krystle. I've known Evan for almost 18 years... i remember when we were younger i always said i would have him in my wedding party as a brides/man, hehe. He's one of those friends you don't see that often but when you do it feels like you just saw each other yesterday.
So needless to say i was stoked when they asked me to spend the day with them and capture their little moments.
Krystle is an incredible artist and Evan is an awesome lawyer and together they make the perfect pair.
The care and love these two have for each other seems so effortless. It's genuine, real, simple, effortless love.
I am in love with their love.

Krystle working on one of her breathtaking pieces, check her out!


Like i said, the weather has been incredible and this day could not have been any better.



I absolutely loved this field and the way these turned out, the light, the colours... everything! I just couldn't get enough.




I honestly felt at times like i wasn't even there, that i was eavesdropping on their life together. Such pure, sweet moments, i had goosebumps editing these.









One of my favorites from the session, doesn't it look like they could be in a band?

Emma had to be a part of the session since 'she won't be there for the wedding' as krystle would say.

Evan is an avid skateboarder, he's been skateboarding for as long as i've known him and i know he started way before that. 'Lawyer by day - Skateboader by night'. Don't you just love these two...




I had so much fun in the 'bowl' doing these shots... trying not to get knocked over. Krystle was a 'lil chilly and apprehensive about sitting in the middle of the 'bowl' while skateboarders flew by, i don't blame her! Thanks again Krystle for making these shots so great! ...and Evan too of course.



I absolutely adore you both. Can't wait until your wedding next year! Congrats again xo

Marissa & Jeff (Wedding}

Love love love this time of year. The incredibly vibrant colours, the dewy leaves, the crisp fresh air, it gets me in the greatest mood. I also adore comforting savory Fall indulgences like Chai lattes and ginger snaps, i can't seem to get my fill, delish! I'll soon be enjoying more savory goodness this long weekend on thanksgiving with the family, can't wait!

This beauty of a season also seems to be my busiest. It's fantastic really, but it's also absolutely nuts... working by day, editing by night and shooting all weekend! I love it, but it's madness and i can't seem to fit much of a social life in... and i wonder why i'm single. I have four upcoming sessions within the next 5 days as well as a yummy thanksgiving dins! It's going to be a great long weekend!

A couple weeks ago i had the pleasure of being a part of Marissa and Jeff's wedding in Guelph. I actually went to elementary school with Marissa but haven't seen her in over 17 years. It just blows me away how i ended up being a part of her wedding all these years later. And what a gorgeous wedding it was.

The lovely details...


The adorable flowergirl.

I spent the afternoon with Marissa and her bridesmaids getting ready in her suite. Everything went smoothly and everyone was so relaxed and chill, it was a great start to the day.


I absolutely adore this picture... her something blue!


Looking a 'lil anxious before the final touches...

Pinning on her fathers corsage.


Could the ring bearer be any cuter?! Such a handsome lil guy. He's also Marissa's Godson.

I just love this one, you can see how much he absolutely adores his godmother.

The bridesmaids having a few giggles.

I love the way this one turned out... Bride/Bartender?


We stopped in the hotel lobby for a few quick shots before heading to the church. Isn't she just stunning!

One of my favorites from the day...


The ceremony was held in a massive old catholic chuch, just gorgeous!










The newly married couple...

After the ceremony we went over to the Goldie Mill for some more photo ops










What a gorgeous couple! I really had such a great time with them, the location could not have been any better. It was such a great backdrop for the lovely wedding party.

Her western girls.



Love this one... isn't he just soooo darling.



Heading back to the hotel for the reception

I had to post this one... I just love it. Check out Marissa's lovely gesture.
