Hey everyone! Last year I posted several “TOP 25″ lists of my favorite images I shot in 2008, which was an absolute riot, but this year there’s a bit of a problem… I have 260 favorites. :) To fix this I have put my personal favorite images  of 2009 into the form of a slideshow!

*ahem* ok, so because of the volume of images I kinda had to split it into 2 equally cool slideshows! I selected all of my favorite images and placed them in chronological order as if it were all one wedding day (getting ready images with getting ready images, ceremony images with ceremony images etc). I have personally watched this slideshow three times already, and I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have such amazing people in my life. Every image has a story that I hold near and dear to my heart, and will remain with me forever.

Tonight I am posting Slideshow 1 of 2. I will post the other tomorrow. I literally took every second image from my list of favorites and put it into another slideshow, so both slideshows will have a full “wedding day experience” from start to finish. You will see what I mean.

The song choice for this slideshow is my little homage to the late and very great Haydain Neale of Jacksoul.

P.S. Don’t forget to leave a comment! Every comment until this Friday  = One can of food I will donate to the food bank!

I was playing around with a few more images from our Europe trip today, and came across this little beauty. This image is a composite of 6 images stitched together to create one 180 degree panoramic display.

When I look at this image, I can still hear the chatter of people passing by, smell the cappuccino from a nearby cafe, and feel the sun warming my face.

Happy Sunday Everyone!

After a VERY weird day of weather, this gorgeous sunset is how it ended. I saw this while driving around and scrambled to get my camera and head to the beach. I hope you like it!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Natalie’s veil was passed down her family from generation to generation.. Its older than Canada and it still looks FLAWLESS!

Derek, you TOTALLY rock the GQ look!

One of these next two photos are going to grace my studio walls for the rest of eternity. 16×20″ Metallic Print? Without a question!
Trouble is, which one?

Can’t resist a sunset photo at Rockwater Secret Cove Resort!

Loved the detail and care put into the decorating at the reception!

Ah, the shoe game. Natalie seems pretty sure of herself on this one! I love the expression :)

One of Natalie’s friends sang a song for the two of them, it was so fantastic!

I had such an amazing time with you guys on your wedding day! I am SO jealous you guys went to Ireland for your honeymoon and I can’t wait to see some pics! Thank you so much for being the caring, loving, funny people that you are, I wish you all the best in your many years together!

So… I’m not even going to check when the last time I blogged was…

I had a blast the last 2 weeks travelling around Germany, Austria and Italy and there are SO many images I am going to share with you VERY soon! For now, I wanted to to give you all a taste of the next blog posts coming up in the days to come.

I hope you can feel these images.

For those of you that don’t know the story behind this image yet (below), I can’t WAIT to tell you!! :)

…as for the title of this blog post… I’ve been listening to Great Big Sea for the last few hours straight… I think my mind has temporarily been east-coast-transplanted ;)
