Proud to Be a Canadian!

Monday, March 1, 2010

I'm proud to be a Canadian. I think I live in one of the best countries in the world. I like that we are humble and polite and can poke fun at ourselves. There are times though, when I feel we should stand up and show the world who we really are instead of hiding behind false stereotypes. We are an intelligent, creative nation, and for today I will let the red and white fly because I am proud to be a Canadian!

A Whole Lot of Smooching! Stephanie and Patrick

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Chartreuse and aubergine has been a very hot color pairing for my brides this summer. I love how the two colors look together! Check out the back of Stephanie's gown...tres sexy. I love this image by Brandon Patoc Photography.

The chartreuse orchids just make everything pop!

The sweet little flower girl tossed purple orchid florets from her basket.
Isn't this bridesmaid a stunner in her aubergine dress. I want to hire her for a photo shoot :)
Stephanie and Patrick said their vows at Laurel Point Inn. The fab photographer for all of these images is Brandon Patoc from Seattle.Many thanks to him for sharing his images with me.
The formals. Pretty darn tootin' good looking!

Check out the altar pieces with submerged green apples. Click on any image to enlarge.
A whole lot of smoochin' going on!


Patrick is one of the head chefs at the Laurel Point and planned the whole menu himself.

Yum!
More smooching. It is all as it should be :) Congratulations to Stephanie and Patrick! You both look fabulous...even while your lips are locked! xox

The Shoes that Started it All:Real Wedding

Saturday, August 8, 2009

"A bride carries her bouquet but it's me which carry the bride," thought the hot pink shoes as they sat in a box in the bride's closet.
"Aah,"said the shoes, "I look good in this lovely photograph by Jen Steele Photography."
"The bride is happy to be wearing me," thought the shoes as they witnessed this kiss.

"It was so fun to attend this beautiful wedding at the Laurel Point Inn."
"I look good with that bouquet."
"Absolutely!"


"Look at the lovely flowers. They match me so perfectly."



"The girls wish they had a pair of me....I just know it"
"The boys love me too."




"One day, I will wear hot pink shoes at my wedding," thought the little flower girl who had to be bribed to wear her flower girl dress but not to put on her hot pink pair of shoes. "Aaah,"thought the shoes, "my job is done, for I am the shoes, the shoes that started it all!"
Thank-you to Jen Steele Photography for sharing some of her images with us.
