I first met Christian and Carmen last year. They had been referred to me by a girl who I went to high school with that I had scoured my Facebook fan page, and enjoyed my photos enough to share them. I can’t tell you how much this excited me. As a photographer and in most businesses, you count on your referrals, and to have one from someone who I haven’t talked to in years was very complimentary for me. Thank you Krista!

Christian and Carmen had fallen in love with the Terra Cotta Inn, in Caledon. I was ecstatic at the thought of photographing at a place that my parents had taken me as a child. I grew up in Caledon and the Inn was the spot for wings and a few games of darts. It delighted me to start my season off in a place so close to my heart.

The rain was intermittent in the morning, but stopped just long enough to explore the outside grounds of the Inn and capture some wonderful moments. Thank you so much Christian and Carmen for letting me be a part of your beautiful day. All the best as you begin this new life together.

I have shot here a few times and it is still a beautiful location, I’m often surprised at the things we don’t see even though we visit a place often. The pond that sits just next to the parking lot had a beautiful walking trail that leads around to the top of it, and made for a beautiful spot.

(The one below is one of my favourites for the day)

There were a lot of giggles.

All in all it was a great day!

Thanks again Patrick and Ashley!

Whether you are seeking fabulous flowers, a fantastic DJ who will keep your guests moving or the perfect gown… it is all here. Oh and if you still haven’t found your perfect photographer…. hint hint, nudge nudge!

This is a sad but true statement I’m not sure I should really admit to. I mean wedding photography requires me to always be thinking of new ways to be creative… yet here I sit blank minded, writing a blog about not writing blogs. I’m sure in some world this is a huge faux pas.

When I was younger you couldn’t tear me away from a computer. I was always writing short stories or attempting new novels. I’m not sure where I lost that sense. A few months ago I thought it would be fun to write a short story. My brain was lost. Is it possible that as we grow older one side of our brain takes over and the other falls to the wayside? As I grew as a photographer did my writing diminish?

On any note, my goal over the next two months is to dust off my writing and populate this space more… hound me if I fall short of this goal.

On a completely separate thought, this weekend I’m off to Niagara Falls, staying at the beautiful Holiday Inn. I will post pictures when I return (see a blog post in the works .

Until then…

After mulling over various ideas we got to talking about an article I had seen earlier in the week about the importance of having a professional photographer to capture the most important moments of the biggest day of your life. Somehow this led to a conversation on the ‘hear say’ rules of photography. Some are so obviously untrue but others seem to be the favoured myths.

Please take a look and let me know your thoughts!

I would also like to extend my congratulations to any and all couples that got engaged over the Holiday Season! I hope you will stop by and visit the Adelita Rose booth if you are attending either of the two shows. I look forward to meeting you all!

All the best in the New Year!

I am so excited for next year’s wedding season and can’t believe how quickly the year is booking up… on that note please, please don’t wait till it’s too late and your day is taken

Taking a step back though I am happy to announce that I will be launching into Boudoir shoots this coming holiday season, so if you are looking for that extra special gift for your special someone please fill in the contact form. These will also make an amazing Valetine’s day present.

Until then I hope you will keep checking back for updates and new posts!
