Clayton & Carly’s wedding day was perfect.  Their garden wedding at the Devonian Botanical Gardens was beautiful, I loved watching their faces during the ceremony – stealing little glances at each other, and smiling.  A lot of smiling.

I love Michael’s patience with photography.  He waits, and sets up the perfect shot. This one of Carly walking up the aisle is a perfect example. He saw exactly what he wanted to do, and got it just at the right time.  Sometimes the person second shooting (him in this case) comes up with the most amazing photo.

The Devonian Gardens are a great place for anyone who wants to incorporate nature into their ceremony.  The setting is stunning.

Now, I love Michael’s work, but we’re a bit competitive sometimes, and I have to say I love this next image (mine!).  I was taking portraits of Carly looking straight in the lens. I wanted a great expression on her face, so I asked her to think back to her first date with Clayton. <click>. I don’t know what her eyes are saying, but at this moment she is looking at him and thinking about their first date. It’s such a pure expression, and she looks amazing. 

We found this awesome bridge just outside Devon.

Bling!

The reception was at the Sunridge Ski Area.  It was a really cool location, and we’d never been before, which was a bonus! 

I love receptions.  It’s so cool for us to see photos from when they were young or first dating, and to hear funny stories about them (like how Carly just got her driver’s licence last month!).  We had a blast at this reception.  Carly & Clayton have warm and loving families, and an awesome group of friends.

Thank you two so much for having us, can’t wait for you to see these photos!
