♥ toes & icing

Posted under Babies

I have hardly had any time to blog these last couple weeks.  The big countdown is on….7 days till the wedding!  Needless to say my thoughts and projects have been consumed with all things polka dot and candy related for my most colorful candy themed wedding.  BUT I know the world doesn’t stop turning for my wedding and there are people out there waiting for sneak peeks!!  Here’s just one of Matea for now…the rest to come next week!

 

Don’t those toes look like they are just ready to dive into that cake?!  Whatever will happen…..stay tuned!!

So there was no sunshine in sight the day I went to visit Reid and his parents, but this little boy lights up a room with his bright blue eyes and his sweet smile!  You can’t help but be happy when you’re around him staring into those eyes and looking at his chubby cheeks!

A couple weeks back, before our early October snow, I spent the evening with Jodie and Igor at Kings Park.  We walked around, talked about their wedding plans and they showed me where at the park they got engaged.  Their wedding is in September next year and I can’t wait…I bet they can’t either :)

Reid is six months now and as cute as ever!  I love his perfect little round head and his chubby cheeks, his blue eyes and all the “talking” he does when he gets excited!  Here’s just a small peek at our session.

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.
