Better together. {Hamilton Maternity Photographer}

We met Brian at our destination wedding in Costa Rica last month. It was only on the last day that I realized he didn't know anyone on the trip except for the groom's friend. He was such a great guy and blended in with the group so well that I assumed they were all lifelong friends. Shauna was 7 months pregnant and encouraged him to go on the trip and have a good time. I knew she had to be a cool wife. And she is. We got together with them last night and she admitted to being curious as to who we were because Brian came home and chatted about some new friends he had made. 

Our evening started out last night at their lovely Waterdown home where we took some photos indoors and of their beloved pooch Bogey. We then headed to Webster's Falls where, as if by magic we had the entire park to ourselves at golden hour. We went back to their home until late last night for some pizza and drinks and chatted about love and life.

Like everyone, they have had their ups and downs and realized they were better off together then apart. And baby Kensington will be the luckiest and most beautiful baby to have these two as parents.

We hope you enjoy your sneak peeks. Looking forward to many gatherings together this summer!

Love,

Penguins, a dog and a love story {Ancaster engagement photographer}

We drove past the farm that she lived in. I saw a long winding road and a quaint farmhouse and asked her, how the hell did a beautiful single blonde live all the way back there? And how did your Prince Charming even find his way down the driveway?

We first met Teresa and Ben at Krissy and Don's wedding. You might be familiar with them as it seems we have met a bunch of our couples through them. Teresa and Krissy have been best friends since gradeschool. They had forfeited their other photographer to book with us which made us feel extra special but also extra nervous. This has happened four times to us. We know it's an expensive venture to hire a photographer twice so we want to make sure we get it right for them. The first time.

We instantly fell in love with Ben and Teresa. We soon discovered common interests and were invited into their tight circle of friends. This is not something we take lightly. We cherish our friendships and love that our clients can become people we actually want to hang out with.

Ben and T met at an inopportune time; both coming out of bad relationships and absolutely not ready for love. He found his way down her winding driveway in the winter, shovelled her out and both parted ways. Fate would find them together months later; the snow gone, the stain of bad relationships vanished and a beautiful new season upon us.

And here we are. Months away from photographing their gorgeous wedding. Ben is like nobody I have ever met. His passion for the things that move his soul is absolutely admirable. He loves his dog Cooper. He is crazy for the Pittsburg Penguins. He plays the guitar. He knows and appreciates his wine. And most importantly, he is crazy for Teresa. T is equally adorable. Her love of horses and farm life inspire me. They travel the world together. Enjoy their french wine. They live a healthy lifestyle. They are generous, kind and wonderful people both separate and most importantly, together.

The four of us were watching the weather all week. It called for rain and we trotted on. We started their engagement shoot in Ancaster and weaved and bobbed our way through the Niagara region. We stopped where we saw fit and chased the sun. We capped the night off with dinner and drinks and toasted to an amazing evening, a great friendship and their upcoming nuptials.

Teresa and Ben, we hope you enjoy your sneak peeks! We love you and can't wait for your wedding and many happy years ahead!

Love,

Wendy
