This trip was special. They came here to vacation and celebrate their 3rd wedding Anniversary! I couldn't be more excited to hear that they were interested in doing an "Empower the Dress" session to celebrate. Jenn loves her dress so much that she would wear it around the house every day if she could, and when I heard this I knew that she must do a session. The Empower the Dress sessions are not about ruining the dress or making a mess, they are about giving that beautiful gown the attention it deserves.
Tim & Jenn first met in 2003 at a hockey game and both can tell you the date was May 28th. It was in the fall of 2004 that they started dating and within a few months knew that they had met the "one". It was the spring of 2005 that they were engaged to be married that summer. They choose PEI as the ideal spot to get married once Tim came here with Jenn on vacation and he fell in love with it just as much as with Jenn.
Jenn & Tim are truly in love and you can see it when they look at each other. I can see it in their eyes. As it should be, Jenn feels that she can tell Tim anything and he will still be their with her, no matter what. This is real love that they have and I am happy to continually be capturing this for them.

Taylor & me must have been born to at least eat one meal together...what would we choose....ummm Peanut Butter on anything of course. When I heard this from her I couldn't believe it! She eats Peanut Butter on pretty much anything including hot dogs!!
The next time I saw Taylor was a surprising & exciting one. I could see this girl running up the street towards me with her arms wide open, I couldn't tell who it was until she was nearly up to me. As soon she came into focus, I knew. It was Taylor with a huge hug for me. I was doing Everyone is Beautiful photos of one of her friends from off island and she wanted to come along.
This little girl is a whirlwind of information and life to me. I was introduced to one of her favorite bands as we drove to the location to shoot. Her favorite included Chris Tomlin & now I also like his music. Taylor was really great to photograph & have fun with but most of all I loved how she was like a light shining full of love for the world.
How do you keep finding these amazing locations?! These are incredible!
(08.03.09)Wow
(08.03.09)Beautiful pictures, Rachel!
(08.03.09)Keep up the good work Rachel! :)
