50 years of love.. :0)

I mostly photograph weddings and meet couples when they are fresh and new in a loving relationship, it's so wonderful to be a part of their celebrations. The nervousness, the gittyness, (is that a word?) the excitement.. I always hope the couple will be together forever and truly happy in their future lives together. When Tom called me up to take photos of him and his family, I wasn't expecting a 50th wedding anniversary! That's something you don't hear of much these days. For two people to love each other through thick and thin, in sickness in health... like these two have, is unfortunately not the norm these days; but when I see couples like my grandparents, couples like Ann and Tom, I thank my lucky stars to have fallen in love. I hope to feel the same way I do in this moment, 50 years from now.

Congratulations to Ann and Tom! You and your family were a pleasure to photograph. Here are just a few of the images.

Peace and Quiet

I've printed a couple of these on some pretty large prints. They look great. 

Coming soon to stores. :)

Dionne and Tom, Hitched. :)

Dionne and Tom's wedding day called for rain and it rained!  It made for some great overcast skies, cool clouds and a reminder of how beautiful Vancouver Island is in all types of weather.  It was an outdoor ceremony and it didn't bother Tom or Dionne a bit.    You can view their engagement session here.

Their friends and family circled around the ceremony and I could see the love and friendship in all of the eyes of the guests and very much so in the eyes of the wedding couple. 

This was a beautiful wedding with an extremely humorous and kind group of people. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Thank you Dionne and Tom for trusting me with your wedding photography, inviting me into your home and allowing me to be a part of your very special day.

It was an absolute pleasure meeting the both of you (as well as family and friends).  

I wish you both a world of love and friendship and hopefully our paths will cross again one day. :)

LOVED the gumboots!!! Why not dress for the weather?

I told you they were funny!

I could tell these were pretty special friends. Nice bags ladies!! If anyone is interested in owning one of these lovely bags, I'm sure I could get you in touch with the designer. :)

Henna their dog waited patiently for the bride and groom to finish their photos.

thank goodness I had great timing for this one! How cute is this little girl with Dionne!!??
