It all started six years ago this July. My wedding was held at Hessenland Country Inn and since then my love for documenting your wedding has grown each year! This year marks their 11th Annual WEdding and Event Fair being held April 28 and 29th and am excited again to be a part of the show.

Yep…there we are! 6 years ago on our wedding day at Hessenland!

If your planning your wedding, stop by this weekend to see why Hessenland is THE WEdding and event destination along Ontario’s West Coast! Swing by my booth located in the Garden Room (in the Inn) and say hi!

Shannon + Aaron | Dashwood~ I Do | Zurich, ON

Friday, March 23rd, 2012

I love it when couples decide to have a “first look” before the wedding! Shannon and Aaron had the perfect setting for it, somewhere they both belong and love! They chose the beach in Grand Bend – it was just right! And i know this is long overdue, but somehow fitting as they are about to embark on the next chapter of their love story, they are expecting!!! Can’t wait to see Baby D in July!!

Flowers were amazing from the Garden Gate

The First look – so much emotion and excitment!

Shannon..you are rawr!!

Happy Friday everyone!

I Love Etsy! {Huron County} Wedding Photographer

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Happy Friday! This year I am going feature on my blog and Facebook a “Fabulous Friday Find”. Many of these posts will be to do with random finds, those kind of finds that you just think – “WOW! I need one of those, or perhaps Want one of those things!!” Focus will try to be on Wedding Day ideas for the Bride who wants to do something different! Feel free to give any suggestions to different finds you may want me to post about!

Today’s Fab Friday Find is from Gracefully Southern Designs on Etsy! This is a great website/community of Artisans who craft and sell the most interesting things! Want a different idea for your reception guest book? Why not try a message in a bottle. Great for a Beach Themed Wedding!! Whether it be destination or summertime, I love this! Set a date with your husband to be on when to “open” the messages – maybe on your 5 or 10 year anniversary! So Fun!

What a great Find! Check it out!
