Nikki & Jay Tie the Knot

Jay and Nikki had a picture perfect wedding!  I started my day with Jay and the boys at their home.  As soon as I pulled up I knew that it was going to be a great day, I was greeted by his family in the driveway and they were so warm and inviting.  There were lots of laughs as the boys got ready, and then we headed down to the waterfront for some photos.  It was a fun group to work with, and they were up for anything.  They threw back a celebratory toast after we were done and headed downtown for the wedding.

Meanwhile, the girls were being pampered and getting ready at the hotel.  Nikki had the most amazing view of Lake Ontario in her suite.  The girls were just as pumped up as the boys.  The champagne was flowing admist the chocolate covered strawberries, as well as a variety of snacks.  Nikki was helped into her dress and she looked stunning!

The ceremony was meaningful and sweet.  Afterwards we headed over to the old abandoned Mexicali Rosa's restaurant on Ontario Street.  It had to be one of the most unique locations that I have ever had the opportunity to shoot at here in Kingston. From the exposed stone and brick walls, to the vibrant decor, winding staircase, and limestone courtyard, I was in heaven!  We did a quick spin through Confederation Basin, stopped for a drink at the Tir Na Nog, and then headed back to their reception which was already rocking.  It was an amazing wedding followed by an awesome celebration.


I never had the chance to post Nikki and Jay's wedding (things just get super busy at times), and these are some of my most favourite wedding images! Nikki and Jay were so full of energy and up for anything that I suggested, they were amazing to work with. Nikki looked stunning, and Jay cleaned up quite nicely too. As you can see, these two are very much in love. It's also a lot of fun when friends and family are at the wedding when I'm shooting, this one was great as my brother-in-law Tim and his finance Kat are close friends of Nikki and Jay. Enjoy!

Better Together

Life is busy. Family is important. I think that it is wonderful that this family stopped, and made the time to get together to have a family photo session. I have had the pleasure of photographing them on several occasions, most recently for Tori and Sean's maternity photos, as well as their engagement and wedding photos before that. It is always tricky to coordinate six different family groups (especially when one sister lives in Bermuda), but they made it work. It was a hot, but gorgeous evening at Kingston Mills Locks. They were so much fun to work with! I hope that you all enjoy your sneak peak, you are lucky to have each other.









(Since our session, Tori and Sean welcomed baby Matthew into their lives!)

Sticks and Stones

From the moment Ben stepped out of his car I could tell that he wanted to explore. We walked around the point and looked for the perfect stick, crawled under toppled down trees, jumped from rock to rock, and ran through the grass. It was good, old fashioned, boy fun!

There`s No Place Like Home

Brynn is definitely a well loved little lady. Becky and John are so much in love with her, and it`s not hard to see why. She was absolutely adorable, right down to her perfect, little red shoes.

Sisters

Having a sister is something very special. These two little ones are so cute together. Abi is sweet and gentle with little Avery, but they are both full of spirit! They looked adorable in their matching dresses, and they even had their little toes painted pink too.

Baby on the Way

I really do have the best clients! One of the greatest things about being a photographer is being a part of the different milestones in my client`s lives. I love photographing people over the years, it is amazing to see their lives evolve. I met Tori and Sean three years ago when they were planning their wedding. We had an engagement session at Fairfield Park, and you could tel that they were very much in love. Several months later they were married at St. George`s Church, and had their wonderful reception at R.M.C., here in Kingston. It was great to hear from them again this past month to set up a maternity session, which they wanted to do at the same park where we had their engagements photos taken. I can`t wait to meet their beautiful baby boy soon!

Here are several photos from Tori and Sean over the years, and of course their maternity photos as well. Enjoy!
