Liz and Mike got married on October 25, 2008. She and I are distant cousins and hung out together as teenagers. They now live on the other end of the country, so I met Mike for the first time approximately 5 minutes before he walked down the aisle. I could only hope Liz had found someone as outgoing and fun as she was. Boy, was I in for a treat!
The beautiful bride prepares for her big moment in the hotel mirror.
Their daughter Selene was the picture of sweetness in her "princess dress"
Liz smiled through the whole ceremoney. I find a lot of brides let their nerves get the best of them, but she was cool, calm, and collected!
Hook, line, and sinker!
And off to Wentworth Park for some fun...
I absolutely ADORED the boots.
A James Bond moment
We had worked our way around the park, so I went to get the car to come back and pick up the newlyweds. As I pulled up beside them, Liz stuck out her thumb... and this idea was born!
William wasn't so keen on the camera as Aunt Liz and Uncle Mike were, but I managed to catch him looking quite debonair in his suit.
We did have a few serious moments. Mike has served three terms in Afghanistan already, so I really wanted to portray the "hero" ambience he so rightly deserves. When Liz got tired and laid her head on his lap, I had my chance.
I still can't pick a favorite of these two!
The wedding had a fall theme, and was decorated with leaves and branches. The fondant on the cake was peeled back in places to look like birch bark. And, etched into the icing like it was carved into the tree, was this...
After supper, I stole a few more minutes for some waterfront shots. I love nighttime wedding pictures!!!
I'm so happy that Elizabeth found someone who shares her sense of fun and adventure! I know these two are going to be happy together for a long, long time and am absolutely beside myself to have been able to capture their magical day!

Hey Terri,
Me and Mike loved how the pictures turned out and we had so much fun taking them! It was a blast honestly! I loved how open you were to our fun a playful nature and not only pleased us but our families. Snapping a few pics of the kids as they did there own thing was great too, since there were so young and at times not impressed with having the camera on them.
I would recomend you to anyone, and I can't wait till were back in the Maritimes, I know who my family photographer is gonna be so you have a customer, and friend, for life!!
