It's where we first met........

....... ahhhh gotta love it!!!! Can I just say I love new places and even more so when they mean something to a couple. I will not disclose my location ....... really curious to see if anyone knows where it is!
So I met up with Alysia & Craig yesterday for their engagement session..... had no idea where I was going ... just an address and of course my GPS (I swear I could not live without it.... although she has ticked me off on more than one occasion..... not to mention the constant reminder to turn is quite annoying..... I get it I need to turn at the next intersection... ugh!!!!).  Yes as we all know I get side tracked on the little things.
Ok so we head out for a little adventure...... as we all also know I as in me never goes anywhere without heels....... not a good call on this one.... lol! Where we were was where they grew up........ a village of sorts complete with homes on acres of land and a feel of country living. I loved it!!!! This place has so much to offer....... and this fab couple..... well they grew up there!!!. So we went for a walk where they always went for walks......... now can I tell you..... that is something worth shooting!
Railroad tracks....... river....... and beneath a highway bridge........ gotta love how this appeals to a photographers heart! Honestly if any of you know where this is I will be shocked!!!!
We shot ..... we chatted..... and enjoyed it all..........................
Thanks Alysia & Craig..... looking forward to August!!!

In Between The Lines...........

So a different direction today........ two days ago I sat down to read a book written by a good friend of mine.  Little did I know......... he can write .... besides of course the usual bbm chatter (doesn't count with all the U.. FYI.. BRB) .
   So this book while not a novel...... was about his industry and the ever changing times and demands of the workplace... with a new concept ....  "Workplace One is where people, place and technology converge. Workplace One is a context for innovation"........ No it was not a bore...... it was very well written and has a lot to offer.  So of course I enjoyed what he had to say... and ....... yes loved that it was written by someone I know. 
But I must admit I was surprised ....... and yes impressed ....... oh hear it comes.... shear torture for all this ego stroking. SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
 Allow me to ....  give a shout out to my friend Steve Delfino....... congrats on your continued success and as always wish you all the best! ............  I must run and hide as I am sure to never live this down! Ego...... check!

ps..... my blog would not be complete without a few pic's....... enjoy all!

In The End....... we will be!

Saturday May 8th....... was not a promising day according to the weather gods! But no matter the rain or wind or ...... yes dare I say we did see snow..... could keep this fabulous couple from being wed!
Congratulations to Meaghan & Matt.........!
Our day started as most do...... at the brides house..... we went we shot and enjoyed the company and ambiance of a great family. There was a calm....... no nerves....... you could see this day was meant to be.
   From there we headed to RBG....... where there an outside ceremony was held........ despite the fearful winds it all went off without a hitch. Vows were shared and tears were shed...... but through it all great moments were witnessed.
I've never been to a reception at Royal Botanical Gardens...... but I must admit it was quite breathtaking. The garden like atmosphere offered an abundance of greenery and linen.
From emotional speeches and laughter in abundance .... you couldn't help but enjoy every moment that was being shared by two families that truly appreciate this lovely couple.
Thanks Meaghan & Matt for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of your day.
Cheers,
R.
