Yesimy and Jasen decided to meet me out in my ‘hood (Atwater Market) and take a little stroll near the water. I convinced the lady at the boat shop to lend us a boat for some pics,  (after all, our couple is getting married soon!) but as usual I got caught up in the excitement and kept it too long…oh well, the $25 was worth it!

Mylene and Éric invited Elizabeth and I out to the country to do a family-oriented engagement session to celebrate their upcoming September nuptials. We can’t wait for their wedding, which will be entirely WHITE, based on the famous “diner en blanc” that originated in Paris. Here are our favourites:

This blog post should be narrated musically by this song: “Here’s that Rainy Day”, as it was resonating in my head all day long on August 15th. Louise and John’s Westmount nuptials were music-filled (of course) and although the rain was a fallin’, pianos were a jivin’ by night and some of the most talented jazz musicians in Montreal graced the stage of UPSTAIRS lounge well into the night. It was an absolute treat to be amongst such a fine ensemble of musicians that I couldn’t help but think  about Gramps (who passed away this summer) and how much he would’ve loved watching them play. Jazziest wedding I’ve ever been to!

When I first met Natalie back in college, I asked her to do a crazy fashion shoot at a private sporting club and she was an absolute riot! So when Nat and Denis were officially engaged, it was my pleasure to shoot their extravagant party and fast-forward 3 years later, the final BIG DAY arrived- complete with CTV camera crew and everything! (You might recognize Nat from her many interviews on the news regarding the development of the new Shriners Hospital in Montreal). What a star!

Tiffany and Pawel were our super-cute motorcycling duo from St-Henri who found us through friends, and let me speak for Elizabeth and Neel for a moment: “They ROCKED!” on their wedding day- especially when they gave Neel and Elizabeth full reign on where to shoot at night with crazy poses in the nooks and crannies of Stewart Hall. Gotta love their Mad Men-themed table cards and the 007 photobooth.

Sunday evening was a rainy one, but that didn’t stop Maureen and Stephen from jumping around in the air and kissing in the middle of the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal for me. Here are a few cute shots:

I was thinking of Catherine on Saturday morning as I was slowly walking through the beautiful first house and studio of Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago ( Cath has a BA in architecture and has also worked as a building inspector, among many other fascinating careers!)…and although I was miles away, I was confident that the crew back at home would capture every precious moment between Paul and Catherine and they most certainly did. The event was held at the picturesque Chateau Vaudreuil and was coordinated by the lovely Gloria of Principessa Events…check out their gorgeous wedding:

Our engagement sessions this summer are getting hotter and hotter! This one was shot just yesterday at the Tristar gym- the place where all the magic happened last year when Jer proposed to Jess after a fight in front of a roaring crowd. Check it out:

August 7th 2010 was a stellar day, I must admit… Not only did I get to visit the most beautiful and inspiring historical house I’ve ever seen (Frank Lloyd Wright’s first house and studio!), but I got to share in the joy of an old friend, Erin (and her hilarious groom Mike). As a major Etsy fan, Erin went all out with the details of the decor and truly brightened up the gorgeous Valley Lo Club with yellow treasures. The hardest part for Neel and I was leaving the party around 1am so we could actually sleep before our flight home. Everyone was still up, eating sliders and drinking beers in the hotel lobby (even as we left at 3am!).  Wish we could’ve stayed longer guys…love ya!
