Well it’s that time of year when my computer decides to protest against me and decides not to start one morning. It seems to do this every year. It’s back from being serviced and thankfully running much much nicer now.

Carolyn and Nathan took a break from the oil in Alberta and flew to Ontario to be married at Blue Mountain Resorts in Collingwood on July 3. That was a really HOT day, but anything is better than rain (or snow).

The ceremony was at St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

Waiting for his bride to arrive.

Their reception room was totally WOW! Beautifully decorated to say the least.

Candy Buffets have become increasingly popular over the past couple of years.

Carolyn and Nathan’s cupcakes had sparkles in them. Pretty.

The Signature Drink of the evening.

Congratulations to Carolyn and Nathan! (who enjoyed a honeymoon in Greece!).

June 26th was one of those days with soaking wet gray clouds lingering in the sky that looked like if you poked them with a needle they would just gush out buckets and buckets of rain. Miraculously enough, that didn’t happen - it was actually hard to believe.

Jillian and Mike were married at the Georgian Bay Club - it was a wonderful day for the two of them along with many of their family and friends.  Here is an overview of their wedding story.

Mike and his boys got ready at The Village at Blue Mountain so I stopped there first for photos.

Jillian and the girls got ready at her parent’s cottage.

Loved this photo of Jillian’s mom helping her with her dress and her dad watching.

Finishing touches.

Voila - Jillian.

This is Jillian’s fraternal twin Leah (P.S. I’m going to be an aunt of twins in November/December!). When Leah answered the door I thought to myself “Oh, Jillian is wearing an orange dress - that’s different”. But then I quickly found out it wasn’t Jillian - hehehe.

Everyone.

Funky hor d’ourves.

Jillian’s younger brother was actually a bridesman (or groomsmaid).

By the way, I totally loved Jillian’s dress with the one shoulder only strap (as did many other people).  It was so suited for her.

Twin love.

Fireworks were a surprise later in the evening.

Congratulation to Jillian and Mike!

I will be posting more weddings soon but first…..Lauren and Cameron’s engagement session.

We met on July 16 at Blue Mountain Resort in Collingwood. Lauren and Cameron both ski/snowboard so Blue Mountain seemed like an appropriate location as part of our session.

We didn’t venture up the ski hill because a nice person that worked at Blue came along on a four-wheeler and stopped to tell us that there was poison ivy up on the hill. Lauren and I definitely weren’t too into risking it so we just hung out in the grass at the bottom of the hill.

After we finished at Blue Mountain, we drove to the Collingwood Airport for some photos.  Cam is an Aircraft Engineer at Pearson which is how he met Lauren because she used to work there.  Since we were so close to an airport, it made sense to do some photos here for the significance factor.  I learned some interesting tidbits from Lauren and Cameron about these types of planes (I was looking at alot of them wondering how anyone had the guts to fly some of them - they were all totally cute, but seemed more like life-size Fisher Price toys than something that actually flew in the air!).

We finished our session at Sunset Point Beach.

I am looking forward to photographing Lauren and Cameron’s wedding day in Muskoka this coming fall!
