carole + cory - elk lake wedding

i arrived at elk lake eco centre after a six hour drive (a beautiful summer sunset and lakes on either side of the road made the time fly!) to find carole and cory already celebrating and enjoying time with their friends and family the night before their wedding. elk lake eco centre proved to be the perfect location for carole's dream wedding- a rustic ceremony setting tucked in the trees, fields and horses just a stone's throw away, and the perfect spot for fireworks over the lake at the end of the night.

carole has her own photography business in new liskeard, so i wasn't surprised to see that every detail had been looked after and carefully planned out. her gorgeous bouquet was a collection of vintage and gifted brooches (including a special locket honouring cory's mother), and she handmade all of the groomsmen's boutonnieres. carole and cory made efforts to make sure that their guests had a great time- they hired two comedians to perform before dinner (and they had everyone in tears) and there was a poutine bar featured at midnight (and lets be honest- any wedding with a poutine bar- or flower girls in tutus- is sure to be fabulous). it was such a pleasure to spend the weekend with such a great group of people.
carole and cory- thank you for having me!

enjoy,

summer's end...sigh

for the last month, i have been in vacation mode (with the exception of the always time consuming full-time job!), hence the lack of posts. its about time that i'm getting back into the swing of things. before i post some shots from this past weekend's wedding, here are a few snaps from last month. i tried to spend time outside with family and friends, and some cold drinks. i've also been working away (slowly) on some retouching for a wedding client. lots of yoga and soccer too (almost too much), but no pics of that!

a very special birthday dinner...

time exposure of the sky in bloomfield (i liked this one better than the ones where you can see the star trail)

and as always...there needs to be a shot of quinn.

happy fathers day!

i've been quite the busy lady lately, so today was so nice to be able to sit down and relax at my dad's place for a few hours between a morning photo shoot and yet another soccer game. i cooked mussels for him (it was my first time! yiiiikes. seafood isn't all that scary i suppose...) and they turned out really well. we had some beers in the backyard, grilled up some skewers and laughed at my sister's impression of my dad. love you papa kavs!
