Sandra & Elliot! Married: June 28, 2008!

(Still catching up on posts since I went on holidays next week, so stay tuned to see images from more recent weddings soooooon!)

Sandra & Elliot are absolutely amazing! Crazy and downright in LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! If you've ever met Sandra, you know that LOVE LOVE LOVE is the best way to describe her...

On her wedding day, it was raining... Pouring to be exact. I was extremely worried since they really didn't have a backup plan, and umbrellas just weren't going to cut it. And even if it stopped raining, the wind was enough to drive anyone crazy!

Well, unless you were already crazy to begin with. Which was the case. Between her and I there's enough craziness to go around twice.

So, the rain stopped, the wind picked up and Sandra LOVED IT!!!

I was also extremely blessed to have my good friend Marlene come out to help me shoot.

Marlene is extremely talented, and has been in business for 30 YEARS!!! I swear she started when she was 2.

It was so great having her there, posing them for me from time to time, since I don't usually do a lot of posing. A great change of pace and I really enjoyed it.

For example, she set up this shot:


Sandra's stairway, centered and narrow, made for exquisite lighting.


Seriously...


Here, she and Coolidge are singing away...


She is so expressive... Check out this shot of the ceremony!


Here she is singing to her groom, with her girls for Kidonan East Collegiate.




Sandra & Elliot got married at Captain Kennedy Teahouse in St Andrews and we walked around the property for some shots.




Marlene snagged this one:

Then we went driving around St Andrews.

Here are the favours and the stones with the guests names. I made these little tags for them to tie around the favours and it gave the guests instructions on how to view their pictures online.



The speeches were hilarious:




Their first dance, magical...
