Leanne and Gabriel were married on a beautiful spring day just as all the flowers were blooming but not even the gently falling rain could dampen their spirits as they exchanged vows before their family and friends at the Prince George Hotel in downtown Halifax. Those who love them most came from near and far…Mexico and Louisiana just to name a couple. Leanne looked stunning in her fitted dress and Gabriel equally handsome – what a beautiful couple. Two very special guests at the wedding were Gabriel’s two young sons, Gabriel Jr. and Fernando and there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that they are just as smitten with Leanne as their Dad. After exchanging vows we stepped out to the terrace for some photos and then everyone enjoyed an amazing meal which was followed by an evening of dancing to latin music. Oh…and in case you think you’re seeing double, you aren’t. Gabriel’s identical twin brother, Raphael was his best man. In fact, the only way I could tell them apart was that Gabriel (the groom) was wearing a white boutonniere and Raphael was wearing a purple one.

Lindsay and Tim were married on the hottest day of the entire summer. One of those unbearably humid and sweltering days where all you want to do is soak your feet in buckets of ice. Imagine how in awe I was of Lindsay when she had to wear a heavy wedding dress and she didn’t complain once! I’ve known Lindsay literally all of her life – I held her as a newborn. It was both an honor for me and a pleasure to photograph her wedding – what a beautiful young woman she has become. It was particularly fun to watch her and her attendants getting ready – for a period of time I also took care of Lindsay and her little brother – and the last time I had seen most of these young women was when they were nine or ten years old and visiting the house to play with Lindsay after school. Boy did I feel old! A very special guest at their wedding was their 19 month old son. Lindsay and Tim were married in the Liverpool Baptist Church and we ventured up the Mersey River to Tupper Park in Milton to have formal shots taken. Their reception was held at the Liverpool Curling Rink and I think I would not be alone in wishing the rink actually contained ice to cool us off that day!
