Katelyn & David's day was at the beautiful Stanley Bridge Resort. The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony overlooking the water. Friends and Family were all very happy to see this amazing time finally here! We then went around the New London area to do photos. The day ended back at Stanley Bridge Resort for a delicious meal and some dancing!
wish: (plural wishes)
This is exactly what my sister did. She made 3 wishes. 3 huge wishes. I bought her a wish bracelet on one of my ventures from the "oh so cool" store Fred Segal in Los Angeles.The rule of the bracelet was to make 3 wishes and when they came true, the bracelet would fall off. This past May when we were in Cuba, the bracelet came off. She tossed the bracelet into the ocean hoping that her wishes would all come complete and the wishes of others would come true as well.
This is my sister ~ who is always there for me, through thick and thin. A sister is a special friendship that I would wish for everyone. This is my personal buddha ~ who can calm me down and brings logic into my ever moving mind.
This is my assistant ~ who can always come up with amazingly creative ideas when I hit a wall.
This is my friend ~ who is the most loyal, loving, giving girl around & can make me laugh with her witty remarks.
This is my BFF ~ who I cannot imagine my world without.
Happy Birthday Kimmy...I fell like I know you through Rachel. She speaks so highly of you and loves you so much...you have a great sister relationship. Have a wonderful day!

It was probably one of the hottest days of the summer so far on Prince Edward Island but that didn't stop us from getting lots of photos all around downtown Charlottetown. Their are so many great heritage buildings and colorful places that it makes it easy to use as a backdrop. Although, it was very welcome to have the reception back at the Delta in air conditioned comfort!
Marc & Krista, I hope you two had just as much fun on your day as I had capturing it!
Of course all of your wedding photos are amazing but these ROCK!

Michelle "Hi I am in love!"
I have struggled with how to write about this wedding. My sister, Kimmy (who is now assisting me at weddings) & I became particularly attached to this bride and her zest for life. I found myself crying on the way home, realizing how lucky I am to be constantly reassured how to grab life and love it each day at a time. Crying or feeling sentimental for me is nothing new after a wedding. I have heard from other wedding business's that I shouldn't get so attached to my clients, and found this shocking. I usually feel a instant connection with most of my clients. This wedding was also a DIRECT poke from the universe who says that everything happens for a reason. I am now pushing Michelle to write a memoir. I would love to know more about her and her amazing story.
Locations: Fairholm Historic Property & Stanley Bridge Country Resort.
Make-up was done by the oh so talented Amanda May Makeup.
The whole day was set in motion and kept organized by the wonderful Jennifer Clark of Kiss by the Bride.
I met Michelle and Henri 4 years ago when I first moved to PEI and helped organize the Terry Fox Run. Michelle was our guest speaker, and she has a spirit that just exudes from her. Beautiful pictures of a beautiful couple.
(07.07.10)Michelle and Henri - What a gorgeous couple inside and out. I really enjoyed meeting that family. How would you not get attached to them. Congrats again to you both!
(07.08.10)Absoloutely stunning! The bride is BEAUTIFUL!! She should be a model!!
(07.08.10)Beautiful...great job once again Rachel...oh and assistant Kimmy :)
(07.11.10)Love that the bride is not only smiling, she is laughing.....She will certainly find much happiness in her marriage!!

We started off the shoot with some photos on the beaches of Varadero and in the water. I was sooooo excited because they then wanted to get the entire wedding party to all jump in the pool at the same time with their wedding attire on. How exciting and fun!??!? I was in the pool to capture them in mid jump. I looked behind me at one point to see what was all the stir and their was about 50 people behind me watching!
Sonya & Leon, wedding party and family were amazing to be around for 2 weeks in Cuba! I loved their excitement for anything that I suggested.
Ah These are so vibrant! I love them!
(07.07.10)Breathtaking!
(07.07.10)Oh wow! Look at the colours and she is gorgeous!
(07.07.10)These pictures make we want to go down to Cuba!
(07.07.10)These pictures are unreal, the beach scenes are my favorite.

My first wedding of this past weekend was on Canada Day, July 1st. What a great way to celebrate our countries birthday than with love. I love clients like Kat & Darrell. They were willing to do anything I want and had full trust in me! If I had said climb a tree, I am sure they would have attempted to do it. Although I took a ton of photos, here is one that I came across that I loved. Of course their will be plenty more to follow! For now enjoy!
WOW look at those clouds! great shot!
(07.05.10)I have been following your blog since it's beginning. I cannot wait to get engaged so i can have you photograph everything!!!
(07.05.10)Wow! thanks for posting this so quick! GREAT!
(07.05.10)This is a great shot!!!! WOW! that sky is amazing!
(07.05.10)Love this! Love the Clouds, Love it all!
(07.05.10)We had the BEST time with you! So happy that you captured our day... thank you so much! And you`re right, we probably would`ve climbed a tree ;)
(07.05.10)How is it possible that your work keeps getting better and better? Seriously? This could be an ad in a magazine!
(07.07.10)This is so beautiful, who says you need a sunny day for great pictures, the clouds make for sure beautiful drama.

Of course Sparky Ming Ming & Madison were going to get photos taken. OF COURSE, HOW could they NOT? SMM was out on her trampoline playing which she absolutely adores. She plays on it at least once a day. Meleah had lost one of her two front teeth a few nights before and was ready to lose the other one. It is still hanging by a thread! Then of course, I had to get Madison in on the sun flare fun. Madison is such a sweet gentle young girl. Look at that yummy sun flare all around her!
Ahhhh - Mazing Light with my two Ahhhh - Mazing Nieces. How sweet!
WOW those girls are beautiful!
(07.05.10)I love sunflare as well. So awesome!
(07.05.10)I love your posts about your nieces. They are adorable!

Jasmine was/is the sweetest person that her blog presents her to be. I was so worried about getting to meet her, because I didn't know what to say to her, and she wouldn't know who "I" was, that I almost turned around. A stranger that I sat with during the presentation persuaded me to go and introduce myself to her. Half the room wanted to talk to her and were pushing their way through the crowd. She was graciously greeting as many people as she could, shaking hands & hugging, laughing and smiling. When I made it through the crowd to the front of the group, this is what happened.
Jasmine Star was right in front of me. What do I say now? As many of you think I am super outgoing, I am shy at first (for the first minute or 2), and almost would rather be kicked in the stomach that introduce myself first to someone knew, but I force myself over and over to do that just. So I just blurted out "Hello & You did a wonderful job speaking". J* asked me my name and said that I was her focus in the room during the presentation. A room of 2000 people (likely another 2000 waiting outside!). She said that she usually finds a calm, gentle face to focus on and this time it was me. My face helped her calm down. MY FACE HELPED JASMINE STAR CALM DOWN!!! I noticed she was looking in my direction but me being me thought she was looking at something behind me! I even turned around a few times to check! Can you believe it? Jasmine Star was actually being real to me by admitting that she was nervous to do the presentation - she was real as real gets!!! YAY for realness!
I was sooooo happy to meet Jasmine, and not because of the Photography Rock Star from California that she is. I was happy to meet her because she is exactly what I hoped she was, sincere, generous and real. Thank You J* for being you & letting me be your focus even if it was for a short time! Glad to have been their and experienced your amazing presentation. I hope to have a shoot done by you someday, and meet Polo "his cute self" for real!
So excited that you got to meet J*. I love that she was as cool in real life and on her blog. :)
(06.28.10)Glad you got to meet your "Rockstar Photographer", you must have been over the moon.
(06.28.10)OMG YOU MET JASMINE STAR!!!
(06.28.10)Oh so fun you got to meet her! Lucky
(06.28.10)You are too amazing!! Thank you SO much for this blog post...it means so much to read your kind words! :)
(06.29.10)Wow, I know what is like to meet your idol. You must have been wired for sound.
(06.29.10)ahhh Rachel, so happy for you to meet her! You are our "Rockstar" Photographer!
(06.29.10)OMG, now I totally understand..WOW, any wonder you were studdering telling me the story..haha

Mitch & Lisa were introduced to me via friends and I love them. They are adorable. I first got the privilege of spending time with them during their engagement session which I truly love doing. I think it relaxes both the couple and myself for the wedding day. L & M introduced me to the Pearl Jam - No Code album which I blogged here.
Mitch & Lisa are the sweetest couple, full of love for each other and for their friends and family. I wish them the very best and cannot thank them enough for including me in this special time for them. I hope we get to spend lots of time together in the future!
These photo's are stunning!!!!!! The tulips are amazing!
(06.26.10)Wow, Mitch and Lisa you both look awesome. Great locations to have the photos done. You are truly one of the happiest couples I know.
(06.27.10)I heart these photos so much! The tulip ones are so gorgeous, you had a beautiful couple to photograph!
(06.27.10)I love them! 42nd Street at my favorites.
(06.27.10)Oh the tulips...so pretty!
(06.28.10)I love these, man I gotta go to PEI, scenery is unreal.

The Regier Family which consists of 5 children, a dog, a cat and a budgie bird were a joy to be around. All 5 children, yes 5!! were amazing. Some characteristics of these children were outgoing, confident, humorous, talented, smart, well adjusted, loving, beautiful & creative. I was in awe of the family unit that they had created at this house. We sat down to supper at 6 o'clock at the table, tv is turned off, and they prayed, again I was in awe. This was not a scene that was created for Jodi & I, this happens nightly, which impressed me. As I grew up, our suppers were the same, every night we waited for Dad to come home and we then ate supper. It was part of our daily routine, and looking back I do love those times!
So when I had heard that this family had never had many family photos done, Jodi & I were all over it. We had very limited time to do this because Sandra (whose Studio I blogged here) had a shoot that night. We did the entire shoot in the back field behind there house. I hope you enjoy these shots as much as I enjoyed making them.
Umm everyone of them is gorgeous! Love the pics!
(06.21.10)What a Beautiful family!!
(06.21.10)Love these family photos, love that they aren't the "traditional" everyone wear the same colour kind. So original.
(06.28.10)These are beautiful, the Reiger Family were lucky to have you visit! You would be a fun guest!

1-Never lie
2-Always be faithful
3-Respect
I always love to engage in conversation with new people, especially when they seem to have so much worldly advice for love and life. My beautiful bride Michelle likely new that I would love to chat with these sweet sweet lovebirds and I enjoyed every second of it.
As they danced tonight to the same first song that they danced to 60 some odd years ago, my heart was so happy for them. People always ask me if I really love my job that much...and without hesitation I can clearly say YES! How can I not love meeting such amazing people, with such a zest for life?
What an incredible couple! Great story and great pics Rach!
(06.20.10)Such a beautiful day! Such beautiful words. I cannot express how happy these pictures make me feel. What role models.
(06.20.10)I got goosebumps when I read this! What a beautiful job you did capturing their happiness!
(06.20.10)Wow, just beautiful.
(06.21.10)I love this couple...I want to be you, you meet the most incredible people!! Great job Rachel!
(06.21.10)Loved hearing about this cute couple in person! OMG...they are WAY TOO CUTE for words!!!!
(06.21.10)Thank you for capturing the essence of my grammie and grampie's love. This was my example and I adore them both. You are a true artist!

I was super excited to receive the call about little Chloe entering the world. I remember when I got the call at work from Krista's mother. Of course I cried. I cried all the joy and relief that little Chloe had arrived safe and sound. You see, Ashley, is like a brother of sorts to me. I have one brother, and I grew up with all of his friends. Ashley being our first cousin, was around home a lot and it seemed quite normal to think of him as an addition to our family. Chloe was dreamt about by Ashley & Krista long before her arrival. We always knew a Chloe was going to arrive, just when was the question.
So now we are awaiting the arrival of a new Peters. The last part of Krista's pregnancy was a bit more difficult than with Chloe and she was put on bed rest until the day the new baby arrives, which has now been announced as June 29th. We had to do the maternity shoot in the hospital because of the situation, and it didn't seem to stop any of them from smiling!
OMG they are so sweet and I can't believe Chloe is getting so big. I bet she is gonna be an awesome big sister. Can't wait to meet the new baby Peters!
(06.24.10)Thanks again Rachelli!!! XOXOXOXXO I "heart" you;-)
(06.24.10)This is are truly unique maternity pictures, haven't seen any in the hospital before.

After we explored her studio, Jodi, Sandra and I went exploring in the small town of Bay field. Of course when three photographers go exploring, their will be photos taken. Sandra is very photogenic and so I made these images of her to complete our touring portion of the day. Stay tuned for a fun family photo shoot with Sandra's family - all 7 of them!!!
AAAAhhhh! Love it! thanks so much. You have such awesome shots of my studio. So neat to see it through someone else's eyes!! Hugs!
(06.17.10)Isn't Sandra awesome? And isn't her studio awesome too? A great fit together :)
(06.17.10)1. Okay Sandra, you are so beautiful!
2. I LOVE your Studio!

Beth has recently just graduated from Sheridan Tech at the top of her class. Her winning portfolio just won her a brand new Canon Mark ll. I think her teachers seen the potential in her creative eye as soon as they seen her first photo, which makes me sooo happy for her! Beth's final portfolio was theme's surrounding women, emotions and what we all go through. Congratulations Beth on your amazing achievements thus far. I can only imagine where your talent will bring you in the future, and love that you will deserve it!
They look so in love, beautiful!
(06.16.10)Beautiful!
(06.18.10)Great job capturing these lovebirds. Also Beth your portfolio is beautiful as well.

Some of the girls at the party I hold very dearly to my heart. I am sure once I get to know some of the others they will as well. These photographers have become more than just photographers to me. They have become inspirational people and most of all friends. All of these girls invited me into their homes to stay with their families and talked to me about business, life & things that happen day to day. They all made me feel like I was part of their families whether it was sitting down to the supper table or getting a good night hug from their children. I could get extremely sappy, and I had done that many times through out the last few days. My heart & eyes have been misty in a good way as the week has gone by. I cannot thank these girls for introducing me to more passion for my life, my family & my business than ever imagined possible.
Love you so much Rachel! You are a joy to be around.... can't wait until next time!
(06.15.10)Oh Rachel -- I just love you. So happy we were able to spend some time together this weekend. Can't wait for our next trip together!!! Your smiling spirit really does just light up a room :)
(06.15.10)So proud of you have I mentioned that lately??? xoox
(06.16.10)I love your life! Makes me want to follow my dreams!
(06.16.10)I follow your blog pretty regularly and I just wanted to say hi and tell you that your work is beautiful.
(06.16.10)
We walked up the gravel road, and came across an amazing site. No it was not the beautiful Krista sitting on the fence, although that was a site to behold. We walked and we came across fireflies. I couldn't believe my eyes. They were beautiful, so very magical. They lit up the road, the sides of the road and the fields. Kathryn, one of the photographers, caught one in her hand for me to see up close. We all gathered around to take a closer look. THEN - we sat down in the middle of the gravel road and just looked at them. We really just looked at the fireflies, and took the surrounding it all in. It was one of those moments when you just say, is this real? Am I really doing this right now? Am I really in small town Ontario with 3 amazing photographers and so happy to be doing it?
Omg Fireflies!!!
(06.13.10)miss you already! loved having you! come back again!!!

Nataschia and I did quite a bit of touring around the Niagara area yesterday. We talked business a lot and she showed me a lot of the regular shooting areas around Niagara, and some local venues, and venders. One such vendor is Vintage Design Co in the Niagara area. Vintage Design is owned and operated by Jennifer Elliotson. Jennifer is amazing and was a pleasure to have met. When we entered the work area it smelled divine! Of course on a Friday things were in full motion, with many weddings to work towards covering this weekend.
Vintage Design has been published in many well know wedding magazines such as Wedding Bells, Niagara Weddings & WedLuxe. Their work really speaks for itself with attention to detail and with a love for what they do. Having a passion for your career really makes a difference in the quality of work that many of us adhere to.
OH Wow, Beautiful arrangements!
(06.12.10)Gorgeous! I love them.
(06.12.10)I can almost smell them, I love those Peonies!!
(06.12.10)Gorgeous! Jennifer is the best of the best. You're not so bad yourself, Ms. Peters. Beautiful flowers and photos. LOVE the grapes in the flowers..
(06.12.10)
