 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!
