As luck would have it, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. By the time we got to our location, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds just long enough to warm us up and then headed back in behind leaving a most beautiful soft light. Thank you mother nature.

I chatted with Jessica before our session and she laughed and told me “we take really bad pictures, even our cat does, too” (I’ve seen her cat and I think he’s pretty darn cute  )  Ummmm, Jess, have you seen these pictures!! I think you guys rocked it! And you both look fabulous!

I love the long road behind beautifully framed by the trees. A truly stunning spot in the summer too.

I love this series of photos. I just love her smile and the way he’s holding her.

After the session, we moved to the dance studio where they’ve been taking lessons for years.

I’ll finish off with one of my favourites of the day. I just love how natural and relaxed they look.  Happy and in love.

Sweet beautiful new life, what a gift you are to your family and to the world. Two years ago, I photographed your big brother, and was so happy to be invited back to meet you, little one.  Your family loves you so much, and I just know that your big brother will teach you so many wonderful things.

The day started off with celebrations outside the Temple. They know how to celebrate!

After a few photos outside the Chateau Laurier, we went inside to continue the celebration.

Look at how he looks into her eyes.

Congrats!

As soon as I drove around the corner to Doris’ house, I knew right away which house it was by the decorations placed out front.

The living room was all set up ready for the tea ceremony that was going to take place.

Let the games begin!  The tradition holds that the boys have to negotiate their way in. They waited on the porch and negotiated with the bridesmaids and family through the window. The girls had a price in mind…and made them do all kinds of, ummm, tasks.  The first offering of coffee wasn’t exactly what they had in mind.

A little bit of money, but not the amount the ladies had in mind.

Love this one of Jason peaking in.

Here is one of those, umm, tasks. Yes, thats right. They were required to do this pose!

They were such a good sport! Poor Jason almost get a foot in the face here. If you look closely, you can see someone inside laughing.

The final task? They had to sing loud enough for Doris to hear. They did a pretty good job too!

Her look is priceless.  She is stunning, don’t you agree?

Ok, so the final task wasn’t really the final task. After making his way in, they made him go up the stairs, every single one, on his knees calling out “Doris, where are  you?”

You can tell everyone was enjoying this.

Finally, Jason finds Doris!

I was really moved while watching the tea ceremony.

Stay tuned for part 2 coming soon.
