Heather and Korey live in Durham Region and decided on the comfort of the Crystal Palace in Picton for their Wedding day …well.. not just a single day but a vacation for a whole bunch of their closest friends and family including a week of pre-wedding celebrations with tours of The County wineries and attractions. Their quirky combined sense of humor (evident in their choice of grand entrance music/dance – the Carlton and Fresh Prince of Bel Air dance routine – “Jump on […]
Here’s the sneak peek images from Ashley and Mike’s wedding at Doghouse Studios in Napanee… I’ll do a full blog post later when they’re all done :) Venue: Doghouse Studios | Hair: Divine Studios | Catering: Sugar Caine | Photography by Kingston Wedding Photographer SB Images
oh Doghouse Studios …how I love thee. You combine my favorite things to shoot; weddings and abandoned buildings. Whenever I get an inquiry for Doghouse I instantly get giddy and can’t wait to meet the couple because they have uniqueness about them that lures them to this adorable old building for their wedding. Courtney and Jason are, indeed, unique. Instead of getting dressed in their hotel Courtney decided to get ready in the ‘dance floor’ room at Doghouse because she […]
Shooting in downtown Kingston is excellent …part of that is because there’s a lot of pubs nearby that you can kill time in if you’re running ahead of schedule. For Meghan’s wedding day that included a stop at the Tir Nan Og for a glass of wine (with a straw) for her and the girls. One of my favorite parts of Meghan and Andrew’s wedding day was the Dad/Daughter first look. I’ve done a lot of first looks this year […]
I’ll be honest. Boudoir is something I’d never really considered shooting. I normally refer boudoir requests to one of my friends who are more experienced in the genre. I never want to risk not performing to my own expectations and letting a client down by providing subpar images and boudoir is something I’ve had zero experience. J is an experienced photographer in her own right (we’ve shot a crapload of weddings together in the last 3-4 years) When she asked me to […]
Arriving at Penny’s family cottage with the threat of rain overhead Jarrett was checking his weather app frequently and saying “it’s gonna pass, no big deal …we’re going for it!” The backup plan was a houseparty (they play in a band together and both figured they’d played house shows with more people than at the wedding so they could pull that off if need be. The rain held – they got married on the ‘swimming rock’ in front of 70 […]
Rachel and Kevin love the outdoors and nature as evident by her gift of an awesome compass to him after their bride/groom (so they don’t get lost). Their venue choice of the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Authority’s Outdoor Centre was perfect. On a beautiful (and verrrry hot) day, they made use of that outdoor space with only the dinner and dancing being inside the building. Here’s some of my favorites from their day as a sneak peek :) Venue: Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation […]
Normally the day after a wedding my legs are sore, my back aches and my arms feel like jello from busting my ass the day before and hustling. The day after Stephanie and Colin’s wedding my sides hurt from laughing so hard all day. By the time we got on the Island Queen for the reception (after a wander around the Queen’s University campus for portraits) the party was in full swing and the laughs didn’t stop for the rest […]
There was laughter, there were tears, there were combinations of the two at the same time …these two know how to throw a party! When I met Cailin and Lange a little more than a year ago as they started to kick their wedding planning in to high gear, Lange’s insanely awesome sense of humor was evident as well as Cailin’s patience for that sense of humor. Their obvious adoration of each other infected me immediately and I knew I wanted to […]
Laura and Matt had their first date at a beloved Kingston institution …no, not Kingston Pen …the Toucan! I’ve know the bride for a number of years through mutual friends and when she e-mailed asking me to shoot her wedding I was so thrilled I think I forgot to check my calendar to see if I was already booked. They got the married yesterday at the Wexford House in Picton on gorgeous day with perfect weather. Laura had a beaming smile on […]
