Spring Bliss: A Wedding that Defies the Weather

Wedding season is certainly underway and amidst all of the days spent in celebration with my wonderful wedding couples, many hours are spent behind the scenes processing the thousands of images that are taken.  Now finally comes the joy of sharing some of the finished sessions and packages from earlier this spring with you...

With a slow start to spring (and summer) this year, a wedding in late April can be taking a chance weather-wise, but Andrea & Noel could not have chosen a more wonderful day - at least their timing could not have been better.  Since the days are shorter however at this time of year, this very wise bride and groom opted for a late afternoon ceremony and took all of their portrait photos earlier on in the day.  Not wanting to diminish the magic of seeing each other for the first time however, they opted to meet in front of an audience of their friends and family under the gazebo at Waterloo Park... Noel waiting patiently if not a little nervously while Andrea made her entrance by walking up a tree-lined isle.  After a quiet moment together, we all spent the afternoon laughing, joking, taking photos and narrowly missing the massive thunderstorm that was looming overhead.  With the last shots taken under the final rays of sunshine, we left for their ceremony/reception site at the Concordia Club and amazingly enough missed the incredible downpour that followed.  Had I not been later told of the hurricane-like weather that occurred that evening, I would never have had a clue.  The celebrations kept us happy and oblivious to the world outside.  

Congratulations Andrea & Noel!
