Elissa and Tyler {Collingwood Wedding Photographer}

They had a plan.  They knew they wanted to get married, but they also knew they had other things they wanted to do first.  Finish school.  Buy a home.  Get a dog.  When he proposed, they knew they'd wait to get married so they could finish everything else.  They finished school.  They bought a home.  They got a dog.  And then, finally, they stood on a beach and vowed to be together for the rest of their lives.

Elissa & Tyler had a fantastic ceremony on the private beach at Blue Mountain Resort in Collingwood, Ontario, surrounded by amazing family and friends.  Parents so proud they brought guests to tears with their speeches.  Friends so excited they belted out show tunes on the bus back to the resort.  And a sunset just begging to be photographed.

Thank you so much, Tyler and Elissa, for choosing me to document your wedding in Collingwood!

They worried it wouldn't be warm enough.  They worried the ice wouldn't have melted yet. They worried there may even be snow still on the ground.  For months, as winter seemed like it would never leave us, Cassandra and Terry worried about their dockside May wedding.

It turns out they didn't need to worry at all.

Terry and Cassandra were married on a gorgeous sunny day in Muskoka, on the dock at Rocky Crest Resort.  Surrounded by friends and family that were literally buzzing with excitement, they said their vows to each other, knowing that even if the weather hadn't been perfect, they wouldn't have cared.  They just wanted to marry each other.

Congratulations, Cassandra and Terry!  Thank you so much for choosing us to document your day.

Be sure to head over to my Facebook page and leave me some love, and maybe I'll post a few more images there ...

Tips and Advice: Family Photos {London, Ontario Wedding Photography}

Wedding season is here! Let's spend a few days talking about family photos at weddings, shall we? Because here's the thing - they're probably going to be your least favourite part of the day. Here's the other thing - they're pretty muchnecessary, so start practicing your smile. I promise to make it as easy and harmless as possible for you, but stay tuned for a few tips to help you as much as possible.

Today's tip: get used to the idea of standing in one spot for a bit. It may be boring for you but I guarantee your parents, grandparents and your great Aunt Mary are going to want those pictures. Trust me, standing and smiling for a few minutes is MUCH easier than listening to great Aunt Mary ask why there were no family photos. And someday, you may really, really wish you had more photos of great Aunt Mary.
