As I am going through making changes/updates to my 2011 packages I am still in the process of posting many many more weddings from this past wedding season. I came across my beautiful Krista! This bride made me laugh, made me cry. She was just a doll, and with her favorite friends, family & the love of her life all around her made everyone smile
Krista & David live out in Alberta and grew up in Newfoundland, so the whole wedding from start to finish was fun. Lots of laughing and joy!
"Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end."
I mentioned before how fall is my ultimate favorite time of year. I love everything about it. The crisp air, apple picking season, the color of the leaves, the beautiful color of the sunsets. This wedding was taken on my birthday weekend and the most thankful weekend of the year! My sweet Julie & Matt gave me a card with the words "Here's to living life on the edge". I really aspire to live those words. People seem to always worry about the next step in life, and of course I do as well. I try my hardest to live with not as much worry about the next step and in the now! I love that my clients new this about me and seemed in sync with the way I live & my beliefs.
Oh I know...you have heard it before from me..."yes I love my clients" and I am always saying "I am lucky to have them". I am lucky to be able to say and truthfully believe that they are not just clients but they are friends as well!
Not sure how I missed being a part of this one? Gorgeous couple! Lovely shots, love the apples.

The snow just started to flake as we started our session but this only added to the mood and the ambiance of the shoot! Their is nothing quite like being all snuggled up with the one you love when it is snowing out side! So in your own little world in a city of 18 million. So romantic!
Vivian works with MasterCard on the marketing end of the company. Dave is a prosecutor in NYC along with a martial arts teacher. They live in New York and had hired my dear friend Krista Jefferson of Edison Photography to photograph their wedding last year. When Krista contacted them that we wanted to set up a shoot with them they were more than willing! We were all excited to try out our new lights we had purchased at Adorama that day! They are such an adorable couple! Even though they were shaking because of the cold, they were willing to keep on photographing! What a sweet couple!
Ohhh so romantic, I love them.
(01.19.11)I love the snow and the lights, they are beautiful pictures and couple too!
(01.19.11)Seriously how do find all these gorgeous people to take pictures of. Stunning!
(01.19.11)So beautiful:)
Very Romantic!!!

As we walked around taking shots of this lovely couple on the bridge, I almost felt like I was by myself in a city of 10 million people, I felt as if it was just a few of us around. I sometimes almost feel surreal when I am shooting in a place that I love. It feels like nothing else exists, except me, my camera & the clients.
New York City is a magical place with so much character and it fascinates me time and time again. If you want to be inspired this is the place to go. This is a place I will never fall out of love with.
NYC Makes my heart pound!!! I can't believe its been over two years now. Must go back.
(01.13.11)Ohhh I love NYC, and how come you never come to my neck of the woods? You travel so much (Lucky!). Please come my way soon. :)
(01.13.11)Eeeeek NYC! So Jealous, of your job and your photo skills.
(01.13.11)I love her ray bans! Gorgeous pictures.
(01.13.11)There is something about NYC that really attracts everyone. Greatest city in the world if you ask me.
(01.13.11)OMG, just lovely~ sigh~....You are one LUCKY girl!!Hugs and kisses to you can't wait to hear all about the amazing experience.

Jen & Chris decided to get married in Rollo Bay, Prince Edward Island where Jen grew up. The ceremony took place at St. Alexis parish which is an old church that all Jen's family have been going to the past 50 years. Chris and Jen were both shaking as she walked down the aisle. Guests told them afterward they had never seen a man look at a women the way Chris looked at Jen coming down the aisle with such love in his eyes. Jen's old friend from High School Mary Chaisson performed in the church with her guitar and it was beautiful. Jen walked down the isle to "Red is the Rose" and old Irish song and she performed some other beautiful hymns. At the end of the ceremony the Priest said an old Irish blessing as its only fitting with a McCloskey wedding.
Jen wanted to keep the decoration's simple with white table cloths and lots of fresh flowers and more of a rustic look. They asked that guests fill out messages to us on quilt pieces instead of a signing book. They will now have a gorgeous quilt to remind them of all the people that were there to support us and enjoy this very special day. They had fiddle music and moonshine punch and the night could not have gone better. There's nothing like a good old barn dance!
What a beautiful summer day, a beautiful bride, amazingly fun helpful group of family and friends. I met Jen via email when she first inquired with me, but from the first few emails I knew that she was an enthusiastic & fun kind of girl. When I first met her and heard her laugh, I knew my instincts were correct. Jen & Chris were living in British Columbia until just recently when they decided to move back to PEI. Once an islander, always an islander for Jenn! This was my second wedding "down east" in Souris this summer. I love this area. Everyone is so friendly and fun. I have never photographed up here once and not had a helpful fun group to work with.
If you would like to see a slide show with more of the days pics, please click here.
Welcome back to PEI Jen & Chris, all the best to you both!
I can totally see the love in their eyes. Love them. :)
(12.16.10)I just loved their "how they met" story....I've always thought regardless the risk that you should go after what you want in life and see where it takes you....sometimes where it takes you is pure bliss :) Life is full of leaps! Congrats to these two!!!
(12.16.10)These are great Rachel!! Watched the slide show and almost melted when I heard your song choice!!
