    Here's Katie & Anthony's Video Fusion:

    Thanks to Natalie for the fabulous job on the video snippets!

     

    What a day!  I woke up to thunderstorms, lightning, drizzle, sunshine - just a good old Summer Weather mix-bag...  The thing is, I didn't worry one bit... Katie is possibly the most organized person - and had the Conservatory booked ahead of time, because she knows that you just can't trust the weather in Manitoba.  I love that! 

     

    Katie and Anthony are absolutely beautiful inside and out.  I met Katie first and fell in love with her instantly. And you will too.  

     

    Here's her beautiful bouquet:

     

     

    And here she is... Seriously...

     

     

     

     

     I love their expressions here:

     

     The guys really wanted to do this, as you can see:

     

     

     This was one very excitable bunch:

     

     

     Apparently Jenn likes making funny faces!

     

     

    Look at these eyes:

    Anthony likes jungles...

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Katie and Anthony really enjoyed the Thunderstorm that raged above us during the shoot while inside The Conservatory, we were nice and dry.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Then the sky cleared out just long enough for us to get some more fabulous-ity (I just made up a new word). 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Isn't this just the cutest thing?

     

     

     

    Then the rain came again:

     

     

     

    Well, wouldn't you know that Katie has the same chandelier obsession that I have?

     

     

    And Paul Haverstock from The Hotel Fort Garry let us in the Atrium for a few quick minutes... and that's all I needed:

     

     

     

     

     

    Sam (the ring bearer) loves playing guitar.  Can you tell?

     

     

     

    Some more details of the Reception Venue:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    And Katie, this one is for you and also for me:

     

     

     

    Dan, Anthony's brother, was dying to have this shot... He kept asking me all day... There you go, Dan!  I should let you all know that Dan is a photographer in Calgary (www.crimsontreephoto.com) and possibly the politest professional photographer I've ever had in a wedding party.  He kept his camera tucked away all day long - knowing it's just not cool to shoot alongside the hired professional.  Dan, you're definitely one of a kind and I thank you profusely!

     

     

    Katie and Anthony, you're so in love and it shows... I'm just lucky I got to be there capturing it all for posterity.

     

    Many many blessings and immense joy forever!

    Sylvie & Chris - The Wedding

    Posted by: offthepage in Winnipeg Wedding Photographer, Wedding Slideshows, Wedding Photography, St Pierre, Patty Boge, Manitoba on Jul 15, 2010


    For friends and family of the couple, please click here to be notified when their images go live online (oh and receive a $5 credit!)

     Sylvie & Chris walked into my studio about a year ago and they looked like they knew what they wanted!  She is very artistic and fairly dramatic (move over Lady Gaga!!!), not to mention quite talented and gorgeous (you're quite gorgeous yourself Chris), so I couldn't wait till their wedding day.

     

    The ceremony was in St Pierre (just outside of Winnipeg) and let's just say we had planned to do most of the pictures there, but they didn't fog the town, so the mosquitos were unbearable!  

     

    In any case, no worries, we had a blast anyway.  Check out the highlights video from the day:

    Now here are some of my favorite shots:

     

    Chris memorizing his french vows.  So intent, so cute! 

     

    I love this shot I got during the ceremony of their expressions while putting on her ring: 

     

     

     

     My assistant, Natalie took these fabulous fish-eye shots:

     

     We managed to get a couple of shots by the Sugar Shack before getting attacked by the pesky pests:

     

     

     

     Then off to the city before the Queen's motorcade closed down every street!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Somebody was having a lot of fun here! 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     I just love these, Sylvie's hairpiece really highlighted her drama background.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Something about this shot makes me very happy: 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Her indoor location came in very handy on such a hot hot HOT day, but it also had some amazing potential... These are also on my favorite list.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Did I ever tell you I love chandelliers?  I do I do I do! 

     

     

    I like this shot, because it pretty much summarizes my work style... My friend Marlene commented that at least it wasn't gravel for once...  Yeah it was nice laying on carpet to get the shot... 

     

    This was the shot: 

     

     Oh yeah!

     

     Back at the Reception hall, Patricia's Ballroom, that is, I love the emotion of the speeches.

     

     

     

     

     

     Then the first dance... Don't you just love it?  That ballroom has a lot of mirrors, since it's actually a dance school, but I like what it does to the images.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     Chandelier and father daughter dance.

     

     

     Good times!

     

     Then at one point a song came on that had been done as improv by Sylvie and her good friend Renel (who was the videographer at the wedding) and they broke into their skit.

     

     

     

     

     Renel was a lot of fun to shoot with, we had some good times... you can see he's a lot of fun, can't you?

     

    Thank you Sylvie and Chris for picking me!  I'm looking forward to many more years of friendship!
