Happiness & Humour at the Holiday Inn

Nicole & Troy are not simply two people in love; their high-spirited personalities can take you by storm if you come unprepared to the party. Luckily, I had the honour of getting to know this absolutely wonderful pair last fall at their engagement session and quickly realized as we started the session that I would soon adopt Nicole's wonderful laid-back and humored attitude as a very thrilled and excitable Troy gave artistic direction as he kidded around with both of us, meanwhile absolutely getting the shots he wanted. Very rarely in my work do I actually have to put the camera down because I am laughing too hard to shoot - that day was truly the exception.

When the wedding day came, I was a little more prepared for a day of high energy and high emotion. As tears of happiness started flowing first thing in the morning at the hair salon, I knew it was going to be an amazing day of celebration and joy.

Nicole & Troy were married on June 13, 2009 at the Holiday Inn in Kitchener. After the ceremony, the bridal party boarded their SUV limo and headed to Victoria Park for photos. Once again, Troy made my job incredibly easy by not only giving me suggestions on all the shots he wanted, but by truly enjoying himself and being the instigator (along with Nicole, of course) for some of the most contagious laughter imaginable. After the park, Nicole & Troy's entourage headed back to the hotel for family photos and an incredible party. And ever the joker, Troy closed the night off by secretly setting up a practical joke for the garter toss – after dancing his way up to Nicole and removing the garter, he sprayed all the waiting single men with a previously-hidden high-powered water gun before throwing the garter itself.

An unforgettable day with a truly unforgettable couple. Congratulations Nicole & Troy! May your lives together be long and full of laughter.
