Oh my goodness, Christina and Andrew’s wedding was SO beautiful. I feel blessed to have been able to capture it. A lot of hard work (from the couple, family, friends, and all the vendors) went into this wedding and it came together so wonderfully. There was such a great team of people there and the whole day I felt like I was going to cry with happiness haha. It was a charming, rustic wedding with chandeliers, lights, lace, antique teapots with flowers, croquet, bocce ball, a couple goats, beautiful scenery, a corn field, delicious food, friendly people, and an awesome couple. Such a great atmosphere.

If you haven’t seen Andrew & Christina’s engagement session, it’s right HERE. Their story is so cute, they met in a dog park (just like 101 Dalmations :P)! They are honestly, such a lovely couple. Thank you so much Andrew and Christina for asking me to be part of your amazing day.

Oh my goodness, this couples session was SO much fun!! I had been wanting to take photos at Playland for quite a long time now and when Danielle mentioned it, I was stoked. Danielle is my very good friend and fellow wedding photographer at Danielle Dobson Photo. It was so nice to meet Paul and we all had such a blast at Playland! The first thing we did was the ring toss and on Paul’s FIRST throw he got a ring around the bottle!! SO great, we continued to toss rings for photos afterwards haha. Scroll down to see the prize they chose! 🙂

so adorable!

what a cutie  🙂 

Paul really likes mini donuts.

LOVE these.

Thanks so much Danielle and Paul for this super fun session! Happy 1st Anniversary!

And a BIG thanks to the lovely Allissa Best for assisting me and carrying the awesome polar bear stuffy around when he wasn’t in photos!

Stephanie and Daniel’s wedding was so so wonderful. I was looking forward to it after having such a fun and sweet engagement session with them despite all the rain that day. Sure enough the rain continued for their wedding day, but that didn’t damper anyone’s spirits! They still had a beautiful ceremony (with probably the most emotional walk-down-the-aisle I had ever seen), a lot of fun with bridal party portraits, and a super cute pink and purple reception that included personal video messages to their bridal party members, the shoe game, and much more. It was a great day!

Stephanie and Daniel’s love for each other and love for the Lord was present throughout the day. I feel so blessed to have been able to capture it. Thank you Stephanie and Daniel. Enjoy! 🙂

we did a “first look” without actually seeing each other before the ceremony, Stephanie and Daniel prayed together.

not a dry eye in the place after seeing that walk-down-the-aisle and Dad giving his daughter’s hand to Daniel.

haha love these next reactions.

a prayer.

Yay! We headed off to do some bridal party portraits in the rain next.

love this. so much fun posing!

Stephanie’s idea that I absolutely loved!

bridesmaid’s dresses with pockets – so handy!

aren’t they just the cutest!?really cute idea!

table numbers were set as years in their lives.

so fun!

s’mores! someone tried to roast it with the candles 😛 

the shoe game! probably my favourite wedding game.

I remember this next question like it was yesterday; who is more decisive?

clearly we know the answer haha.

Thank you so much for getting to the bottom of the post! 🙂

I had so much fun with these two wonderful individuals, who are now a truly amazing couple! You two inspire me in my own relationships.
Love, Marie

Happy Movember everyone! I know it’s almost over, but I really wanted to blog some photos before the month ends.

My lovely friend and fellow photographer, Amanda, went out one chilly but nice March day to take some photos and walk my puppies simultaneously. There was a lot of multi-tasking going on and quite a few times we had to un-tangle ourselves and the pups from their leashes haha. But, we came out of it with some nice shots and I am finally getting a chance to blog them.  Enjoy this little post!  🙂

cutie.

beautiful lady 🙂

A Movember twigstache 😛

camera-face! 

Gradies kisses! haha

Thanks so much Amanda for a fun litttle photo day 🙂
