After I posted the first tiny little peak of Cory & Lauren’s wedding I got a text from them telling me I almost made Lauren’s mom cry….to be honest, I love it when I make mom’s cry because it means i’m doing my job right. My response was “maybe next time”….so here’s my best effort at bringing in some tears
Cory & Lauren’s wedding was pretty epic….8 years in the making!! When Cory finally popped the question at Christmas last year it was a pretty exciting time, another wedding to talk about at work! Cory was coming over to the dark side and talking wedding with the girls and he joked that his “man reputation” was suffering because of it. Everything was planned so carefully, through every detail at the wedding you could see how much thought and effort they put into everything.
I had such a blast spending the day with these two and their fabulous wedding party and families! Cory always has a comeback for everything and Lauren has a smile that could light the prairie skies on the shortest day of the year! Things could go from a touching, quiet, serious moment to stitches of laughing in a matter of moments! These two are such a perfect match and it was so fun to capture all the special moments of their day!! Cory & Lauren, I wish you two a lifetime of special moments! Thank-you so much for choosing me to capture your day….despite my “i’m never shooting another wedding again” rant that you had to listen to two years ago! I’m glad I wasn’t serious about that because I wouldn’t have wanted to miss this!! :)
P.S. I stole my post title from the awesome speech Kelly gave….”….let’s toast to sweet love!” I’m pretty sure that will be a new wedding trend…toasting to sweet love!

That beautiful ring with the brown stone was made for Lauren from a ring that her grandmother left her when she passed away, it was SO beautiful!









When you’re shooting downtown in Winnipeg you run into some of the funniest people…a man walking buy told us about a suit jacket he bought at this building we were shooting at for a really great price…another guy driving buy on his bike asked us if we had champagne, when they told him “yes” he said “good, me too!” lol.



We finished the session on the Bay parkade for some nice golden sunshine! 27 degrees on September 25…who would have guessed!?


cupcakes! My fav!

I had to throw this picture in as well because this guy was SO good! Totally enjoyed listening to him before the ceremony started!
