Sheila & Trevor – Windsor Wedding Photographer

Sheila & Trevor’s wedding day was everything you want an early fall wedding to be.  Beautiful weather, the sound of laughter and love all around you, no stress, calm and relaxing.

Sheila was ready for her day when we arrived at her house in the morning.  She had everything ready for us and let us go to work.  As a photographer, you love this because it shows how much your client trusts your vision and knows that throughout the day you have their best interest at heart.  They said their vows at the beautiful Anglican Church in downtown Windsor.  After the ceremony we strolled through downtown soaking up the beautiful weather on this early fall day and headed to St. Clair Centre for the Arts for their reception.

It was so wonderful to be out on this beautiful day, following the light.  Sometimes it’s nice to just go with the flow and see where time takes you.

It was so great to be out and about with these two but what made it even greater was the love they shared for each other.

Windsor has so many historic buildings and some are just hidden away.  You could live here for years and not even know something is there.  We were able to catch the last bit of glow before heading to the reception.

We only had a few moments before Sheila & Trevor made their entrance into the hall where their guests where anxiously awaiting their arrival.

It’s hard to capture the happiness that’s in the air when you enter your reception.  All eyes are on you and and those smiling faces are there for you.

The first dance was followed by dinner and many fun and heartfelt speeches in between.

Parent dances are truly one of my favourite traditions from a wedding.

When I recently messaged Sheila to let her know that her images where almost ready for her and, to thank her for her patience, as this summer was a very busy one, her response was no worries at all I totally appreciate all the time and effort you guys pour into all of your projects  :)  Well, we truly appreciate you entrusting us to capture your day.  I hope that you look back at your images for years to come and feel the same way you did the day you said ‘I do’.  We wish you all the best in your life together in Toronto xo.

Welcome to the wedding of Katie Gibb and Frank Minardi.  We have been waiting far too long to share these photos but we are so happy to show these to everyone.  This beautiful wedding was  incredibly elegant with no detail missed. After spending a 14 hour day with these two we didn’t want to leave the reception as it was the party of the year! From the perfect invitations done by Palettra, the customized decor by Elegance by Design to the beautiful dress by Monique Lullier with a perfect bow made just for Katie by Monique herself.  I could go on and on discussing every detail of this wedding but I’m going to let the photos speak for themselves.  I’m confident you’ll see how important this day was to these two as well as to their family and friends.

No place is better than the Canadian Club.  We love going here.  Every time we are here for bridal portraits we get inspired to shoot a different take on it.  We try to do something different with every couple.  Something that suits them and shows them in their perfect light.

Our favourite option for the father daughter and mother son dance is to do the dance right after each parent’s speech.  I just love this moment that bride’s and grooms share with their parents. It’s done right after your parents have said some touching words to you.  It’s a moment that you will probably never forget.

Katie & Frank chose the band Simone Vitale.  I HIGHLY recommend these guys to anyone.  They got the party started immediately and I kid you not when I say everyone was on the dance floor working off the surf & turf dinner they just ate.

As some of you may already know we are the official photographers for the Miss Universe Canada South Western Ontario contestants.  This is our second year being apart of the competition.  Although we have photographed the winners and contestants of Miss Universe Canada since 2011 it became official last year.  This year was well planned out and we worked along side Tony Gereige owner of In the C’hair & Saci Salon, Taylor Vigneux owner of TVigneux Hair & Make-up and the regional director Sonny Borrelli. I can’t express how great it was to work with such an amazing team of stylists. We photographed 22 girls in one weekend and we got to know each one of the contestants and I don’t know how to put into words how amazing these contestants are.  Canada truly has some amazing your women that are beautiful, intelligent and brave on so many levels. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there for the world to see.  We wish all the contestants a successful year and we are confident that Miss Canada will be of these beauties!  Here are their final headshot.  Please feel free to leave your words of encouragement for these beauties.  I look forward to seeing them move on to the next event where the top 5 will be chosen and head to the Nationals in Toronto.  We hope to work with each one of you again in the near future.

This year their fundraiser will be held at the Water’s Edge in Windsor.  Check back with us here or on our Facebook page where we will share more details of this event.

It was truly an honour to work with this organization and show the world these beauties.  Everyone is unique in their own way and the fact that we are able to capture this on camera is such a rewarding feeling for us.  Everyone has their signature they leave in this world and we are here to help you capture it.

If you are interested in having your own portrait session please contact us for more details.

Jaclyn & Jeremy – Windsor Wedding Photographers

Jaclyn & Jeremy is another wedding we have been anxious to share.  Mr. & Mrs. Smith couldn’t be any sweeter.  When we first met Jaclyn it was at her sister Laurie’s wedding, which was another wedding that will stay in our memories.  From time to time I’d see Jaclyn and she was always talking about our work and one day she would be book us to photograph her wedding.  Well, that day came and it was such a pleasure.  Jaclyn is one of those calm, sweet and caring people you just can’t help but love and her and Jeremy compliment each other perfectly.   We had a short fall here in Windsor (or at least it felt that way) but one of those beautiful fall days was Jaclyn and Jeremy’s wedding.  Waking up in the morning we were ready to go, mother nature blessed us with a gorgeous day and who more perfect to get married on this day than Jaclyn & Jeremy!

Her beautiful dress from Bridal Couture which Ferah had the pleasure of helping her pick out during her time there.

Wedding details are such an important part of the wedding day.  Capturing things as they naturally happen are one of my favourite things about the preparation part of the wedding day.  The light on Jaclyn was perfection throughout the whole day.

_SDP8953 copy

So happy to see this family share in their joy for another one of their daughters.  There’s always that special moment when mom or dad take a look at their daughter all grown into a beautiful women. It’s one of my favourite moments to capture throughout the day.

_SDP8979 copy _SDP9028 _SDP9046

Having the bride take a moment to herself after she’s all dressed is essential in the morning.

_SDP9089 _SDP9104

A photo with nieces and nephews is another part of the day I love to capture.  I know that years from now when they back on this photo there will be nothing but smiles.

_SDP9142

I love the preparation part of a wedding day. There are so many moments to capture, both big and small. I love the soft light on Jaclyn here.  She was so elegant in her Kenneth Winston gown.

_SDP9185 _SDP9213

Jaclyn’s parents live right next to a park and I just love the light that was coming down.  Placing subjects in the perfect light is what I strive for every wedding day.

_SDP9364 _SDP9395 _SDP9448 _SDP9490

Jaclyn was all smiles heading down the aisle.  She just couldn’t keep her eyes off of Jeremy.

After the family portraits at the church we headed to a beautiful apple orchard and the light there could not have been more stellar.

_SDP9727

We never try completely pose a couple.  I prefer to guide them and let them take control of the moment they are in.  Really though, how could I tell them to look at each other like this?  Feel the love!

_SDP0228_SDP0282

The images below show everything that I love about wedding photography. Dramatic light, gorgeous deep shadows. On top of that there is a natural connection between the bride and groom. You can pose the prettiest pictures in the most dramatic of locations, but if there is no real moment between the couple, there is no real picture. Jaclyn & Jeremy bring out the best in each other I cannot be more thankful to have been the one capturing these moments for them.

Winter has been long, very long.  As much as well look forward to the warm sunny days there is a certain kind of beauty our winters bring.  Weather it’s a snowy day or a foggy day you can find beauty in anything.   Kristen and Mike’s wedding was no exception.  It was a heavy foggy day that lasted all day.  We were lucky enough to be out the in the county to experience it and it was beautiful.  Between the “accessories” Mike had and Kristen’s Allure blush ball gown the day
was a perfect representation of the two of them.  Here are some highlights from their wedding day.

It doesn’t matter how many weddings I photograph I find the ceremony always so special. This is what it’s all about.  That moment you finally become husband and wife.

We ended up at a family friends barn that was all set up for us.

The connection these three had was just adorable.  The session went by so smoothly and before we knew it we were already done.  This was a our first time meeting Andrea & Matt in person and my instincts were right.  Amazing couple, enormous amount of love for each other and a connection that rivals any great love out there.  From the way they held each other, to how they laughed at the same things we knew that these two had definitely found their soulmate and soul-pup.  They’re already great parents to a fur baby:)

Here’s just some of the highlights from our session together.
