I know for Matt and Rachel the day passed by in a blur but I know all the guests would agree, the wedding was a blast!! Great food, much laughter and a lot of great dancers!!!!!  I have to say I am sad to be done with these pictures, alot of them made me laugh out loud, the fun was so clear from the smiles and laughs captured, but don’t worry guys I am done with the pictures, finally! ( On a side note, this blog layout is new for me.. . I have been putting together alongside the post for Matt and Rachel’s pictures- if you have any thoughts or noytice any glitches feel free to let me know!- and for one I am noticing the pictures are not quite reflecting the clarity of the originals-please excuse and I will work on fixing this asap ) Enjoy!

Well their big day has come and gone!! And what a day it was. I actually was not able to trim my blogging selection down to one post. . she put so much thought and effort in to each and every little detail of the day and I thought it would be a shame not to show it off!! Matt is a teacher and Rachel incorporated this in to the decorations, menu, table settings with what could be called “shabby chic” details. Old school books globes, floweer vases with lace, and then a unique  mask for every other table, pop shop favours, a menu on a library card, a typewriter “guest book”for leaving well wishes, bells for each guest to ring when the wedded couple arrived, and one of those school age paper games to entertain yourself and get to know more about the married couple . It really was amazing!!  Stay tuned for more pictures from their day!!

I am sure the Hopman family is feeling much the same as me. It was a busy year for them as well with two daughters getting married, first Yvonne and Jim  in July and then Andrea and Kevin this October!! A busy year but such a blessing to add two new son in laws to the family:) A huge thank you to Janneke Brakke who got some really fun shots in the morning of the guys as they got ready :) Andrea and Kevin it was a pleasure spending my final wedding of the year with both of you:) All the LORD’s blessings as you begin your life together:)

I love how most members of this wedding party seem to have NO problem at all, dumping their leaves on the bride and her white dress:)

Note to all groomsmen out there: If you get sick of thebride, just throw her in the dumpster!!!

And thi sis not even my last one for the year. . Janelle and Brent thank you for being so very patient with me. . maybe your wedding feels like it was so long ago you forgot you even had a photographer . . lol ..  but never the less here they are. . and I hope you will agree that  they were worth waiting for :)

 Janelle and Brent had an amazing day!! Once again , a Friday wedding – MY FAVE!! – we had so much time for pictures . For awhile I almost felt like I was running out of ideas!!! but all this time was amazing. . .we had a lot of fun with the wedding party , were able to get tons of variety with different locations for the pictures and still enough time to get back to the church and freshen up. . the weather was reasonably warm although Steff and I had to lend out our mittens and blankets to keep a few bridesmaids from getting too cold!! Yes, I would have to say that aside from a run in I had with a bit of doggy doodoo it was a great day!!

Thanks to both of you and your terrific wedding party for making my second last wedding of the year such a blast!! May the LORD bless all your endeavors as you live your life in Him!!

Oh this one makes me laugh. . every time I look at it!!

The tunnel was amazing. . and worth being almost run over several times:)

Mr Sullivan was so cute all dressed up and ready to go for his three month session!!  We had to work pretty hard to get his smiles at first. . I guess he just wan’t in the mood. . but persistance paid off and we were able to get a really great range of expressions form this little guy!! As the youngest of four he must be used to lots going on but we still managed to tire him out. . midway he fell fast asleep in mommy’s arms which turned out to be the perfect cat nap before round two when mommy and daddy and his brothers and sisters joined him for pictures. Sullivan’s older brother Blake was quite the ham and kept a running conversation the enire time I was doing pictures. . so when I gave him the chance to star in front of the camera he was pretty excited and did a great job!!  Everyone smiled great and naturally . . it was hard to choose my favourites. . !! And the best part was that when we were all finished I got to bring home with me a fresh homemade loaf of bread that Andrea had been baking during the pictures. .it was still warm and so delicious. . and I have to be honest I couldn’t resist and ate more than a little on my car ride home. . lol. . so thanks Andrea for your talented bread making skills:)

    

When I was a teenager I actually lived on this same road. Seeing the kids getting off the bus and walking home it brought back such memories of my own days doing this very same thing. And then as I get older and more interested in photography dressing up my brothers and sisters and taking  them down the road to practice my photography skills and finally my  own wedding day where we had our pictures taken on the road with a really cool old fashioned car which is still hanging in my living room. . so like I said this road definietley took me down memory lane:)
