Last weekend we drove to the Elora Gorge and snapped a few photos of the two of them.  The Gorge is such a beautiful place to take photos… And it was even more delightful to work with a ‘really bright-minutes-before-a-thunderstorm’ sky!  But there was also lots of pressure to get all the shots we wanted before the big rain… luckily we did!  Enjoy!

Rich probably made us laugh the entire time and Jenna’s smile was outstanding… There’s no doubt that we’re going to have a blast photographing you guys in a few short months!!! Looking forward to it!

Enjoy this short film of their shoot!

Oh and by the way, If you’ve been enjoying these amazing video/photo montages – please leave some COMMENT LOVE for my wonderful, talented, hot assistant and husband JUSTIN!!! You’re the best :)

There were over 100 favourites, and I had the hardest time deciding which to post…. sooooo the talented and amazing Justin Driedger created a short lifestyle film that completely captures their sweet, soft, delightful, and lovely personalities. Thanks hunny!!

This shoot was something very special for us… because Glenn is Justin’s dad.  We could not be happier that Jeannine is the one joining the Driedger family.  She brings so much joy to Glenn and she’s someone so sweet or as she says so often “priceless”.  Over the past few days, we’ve been able to really see the love they have for each other.  And I’ve decided that everyone deserves to be happy no matter how young or old you are because one thing is always true: We all need to love and to be loved!

After so many tears of sadness over the past year, there were tears of JOY shed yesterday as we watched the short film that Justin put together of our time with them!

And now for the photos.

They must be thrilled.  Long distance relationships are tough (or at least for me it was)!! Justin & I did it for one summer and that was enough for us!!

Best of luck you two as you plan your upcoming wedding :)
