[ January 2012 ] My Photo-a-Day Project

Photographing my day-to-day family life is something that’s really important to me.  For the third year in a row, I’m embarking on a very personal project:  to take a photo every day of something that is going on in my boring day-to-day existence.  The previous two years, I didn’t make it all the way to the end of the year.  Actually, I barely broke the half year mark.  This year will be different.  I’m determined to create this visual memory for my children and for myself.

Alexie and Jamie get hitched at Fifth Social Club

I had the pleasure of being present at the wedding of Alexie and Jamie this past fall.  These two were incredible to be around.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen two bigger smiles.  The venue was also impressive.  Fifth Social Club ticked all the boxes for great place to have a fun party:  Great food.  Fantastic ambience.  Cool factor.  I found myself thinking, “If I could rewind the clock to my own wedding, this place would totally be a top contender for our reception”.  But alas, that’s not possible…so I’ll live vicariously through amazing couples like Alexie and Jamie.

3 days in Philly

Every busy woman needs a “girls weekend” once in a while.  This fall I got to spend 3 days in Philadelphia with some wonderful women/photographers that I only see once a year.

We drank a lot.  We ate a lot.  We swore a lot.  We snapped a lot of photos.

Sigh…perfect weekend.

Ben & Mary get married at the Kortright Centre

On a gorgeous day back in September, I got dolled up, grabbed my camera gear, and headed out to hang with Ben and Mary on the biggest day of their lives.   It was such a great day, and totally worth the sore feet I had by the end.

In terms of planning an amazing wedding, Ben and Mary pulled out all the stops.  The ceremony took place in a small clearing in the forest, the reception was in an open-air gazebo decorated with twinkling lights, and the vintage-inspired details were breathtaking.  I kind of did a little joy dance when I saw all of it.

What made the day most magical though, was seeing how much Ben and Mary truly love one another.  It was palpable – and I’m so glad that I was there to capture some of that awesomeness with my camera.

As always, it was a pleasure helping Alex Neary on this one.
