Wedding at Blue Mountain - Allyson & Neil

As much as we enjoy travelling to shoot weddings there is a certain comfort to be had shooting a wedding in your own back yard. The Village at Blue does a great job with weddings, it has to be said - the food is always great, the service friendly and there's no issues with having to drive home for the guests as the place is self contained.  Oh and did I mention it's also really pretty which makes for great photographs.

Allyson and Neil were married at St Mary's Church in Collingwood before heading over to the Village for their reception. Neil's is a fire fighter from Hamilton who started his career in Wasaga Beach and so the vintage fire truck from Wasaga made an appearance...   Allyson and Neil have been together for a while and whilst we didn't have time to do a pre-wedding shoot it was evident from the short time we spent photographing them they have great chemistry and a long and happy future ahead of them. Here's some of our favourites from their day. (Click here or on the photograph to see more.)

A busy summer at Isis... oh and Christa is on maternity leave - kind of...

It seems that you read blog after blog post where wedding photographers wax lyrical about fantastic couples and amazing weddings.  Well it would seem that, if our summer is any indicator, that Canada is full of GREAT people busily getting married this summer.  Although to be fair to last years brides and grooms it may have something to do with having a proper summer this year! 

Our last three weeks have seen us shoot in Collingwood, at The Blue Mountain; in Toronto - St Paul's Basilica with photographs Knox College; at Cobble Beach in Owen Sound and then on the shores of Lake Rosseau in Muskoka.  It's been an incredible time, not only because of the people involved and the variety of weddings, from intimate to large but also because Christa has done it seven and half months pregnant.  So I want to take this opportunity to recognize how amazing Christa is - she's now officially off shooting detail and I will miss her for sure. (It's been over three years since I shot a wedding without her) Fortunately for me and our couples we've some really talented photographers stepping up to help us which will be exciting for everyone. Christa will remain active behind the scenes editing and album designing so her talents will still be utilized until jr. makes an appearance which is meant to be at the end of August.  Then she gets a couple of days off to recover before back to work. :)

Katie & Jerry - Small Wedding Big Love

Occasionally we shoot small weddings - Katie and Jerry were married in their back yard up on the escarpment, just outside of Collingwood.  It was a hot muggy afternoon but no rain.  It's rare that when editing a wedding I find myself smiling all the way through the process as I did when editing these images.  Katie & Jerry didn't stop smiling all though the shoot... a pretty good indication of how they felt. Here's some of our favourite pics from the afternoon we spent with them. (To see more images click here or on the photograph)

Fathers Day photographs from Bella

Bella is one of our nieces -  Stephanie and Steve's (who is Christa's brother) daughter has been featuring on our photographs since she was born. These were taken for fathers day - a little late to be putting them up but we weren't allowed to spoil the surprise for Steve who was away exploring the Yukon at the time.  We've got to put them up though because... well you'll see. :)
