Johnny & Adrianne introduced me to one of the most peaceful place in PEI. I have since been back to this spot and have sat in the trees and just listened. I could not hear a single thing except the gentle sound that the trees were whispering in the soft breeze. So very quite and solitude. Had I never met this lovely couple, I would have never found this amazing spot. Thank you Karma for bringing all of us together.

Having a place you can go and relax and have no sound of the outside world is amazing. Being alone with your thoughts is an important place to be when you are a creative person. To be able to look around you and feel safe and hear nothing but the wind is exactly why I now go out to this spot. I went out just recently and it is completely packed in by snow and I couldn't get to it without snowshoes.

Johnny, Adrianne and I will have a great day together this coming spring when they get married on PEI. Cannot wait!

What is love? It is one of the most difficult questions for the mankind. Centuries have passed by, relationships have bloomed and so has love. But no one can give the proper definition of love. To some Love is friendship set on fire for others Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. No matter how you define it or feel it, love is the eternal truth in the history of mankind.

 

Be together, share your joy and sorrow, understand each other, provide space to each other, but always be there for each others need. And surely love will blossom to strengthen your relationship with your matter of affection.

Love will always leave people with a question mark and memories or happiness like nothing else in this world. Let's love each other, be kind and pass it on.

Hattie: I just got engaged a few weeks ago!

Rachel: ummm what? where/when is your wedding? I love your freckles!!! Tell me everything!

That is pretty much how it started. A friendship that started in the pool under the sunny skies of Jamaica ended in a impromptu engagement session on the beach at sunset. I needed to hear all the details of the engagement and the wedding as if Hattie & I had been friends for a lifetime, so all the details were shared!

Details such as how Scott got her a custom made ring created at Lessard Coutu Custom Jewellers in St. Catharine's. I cannot wait to see the ring itself, it sounded amazingly beautiful. It was being sized while they were on vacation.

Scott & Hattie have been together for almost 6 years, since they both attended Holy Cross Catholic School. Scott now works as a shift engineer, and Hattie is a high school teacher.

As the week went on we had supper many times, lots of laughs, and hung out/in and around the pool with this awesomely sweet & fun couple. I think fate placed Hattie & I together in the pool that day to meet. Scott & Hattie planned their vacation before Scott popped the question to Hattie, what a perfect way to celebrate.

I love fate and how it brings amazing people to me. Keep on working with me fate, keep on working with me.

I knew yesterday would be a ton of fun to work with you guys up in Tignish. The long drive was worth it and the rain held off! I knew after doing our engagement session with lemons that these two were up for anything and trusted me! We did this session a while back so they could have pics to use for their invitation cards which, are shown below!

I had a great day yesterday with you guys, and friends and family! I hope ya's danced the night away!

The Alibi Lounge is a resto-lounge in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island that I had - planned to, meant to stop into - a million times to check out. It wasn't until I was getting worried about the weather for an engagement session that something drew me right in the front door. I had no back up plan for this session which had already been canceled and changed a few times because of rain. We didn't want to just do the session for the sake of doing the session. We could have went went indoors anywhere, but we didn't want just "anywhere". Our weather here is so unpredictable and I wanted to make sure it was done today.

I came in the front door of Alibi lounge to find one of the owners, Jenn Coupland setting up for the night (it was open mic night). We had a quick chat about me doing some photos in there and she welcomed me with open arms. Literally, I felt like I had known her most of my life. What a great welcome for my first time being at this establishment!

So that being said, of course it didn't rain. That wouldn't make sense for it to rain since I had a backup plan. We ended up doing most of the photos in the Alibi instead of outside! Megan & Ryan were open to driving for 2 hours to do the session and I couldn't have been happier that they did! I will be driving the 2 hours west to do their wedding photos next summer!

The Alibi Lounge is a venue for food, music and fun. The night of the engagement session, it was being set up for Open Mic Night. Various bands come here to play. You can have a bite to eat, a drink and listen to some music in a atmosphere like no other!

Today, Thursday September 23, 2010 The Alibi Lounge will be hosting the Under 40 Biz mixer from 4:30 - 6:30. It will be a 40's & 50's themed mixer and if you dress in 40's & 50's attire, you will have a chance to win a prize from the Alibi!

Come and say hi if you see me hiding in the corner. It will be my first "Biz Under 40" mixer!!
