When I encounter true chemistry in a couple, especially if I know it has stood the test of time, it truly inspires me. Tessa & Rohann are one such couple, and their wedding celebration was as special and heartfelt as the love between them. A riot of close and family and friends joined the pair to celebrate their big day at the beautiful Groenrivier Function Centre.
Seeing his bride-to-be walk down the aisle, Rohann worked hard to hold back the tears, and as Tessa was walking, reluctantly taking her eyes off him for a second or two to greet friends and family along the way, their eagerness to finally connect and be together was tangible. Goosebumps!

Special thanks to Lauren for assisting and second shooting with me. As always, you're a star.
High school sweethearts Kathleen & Brandon are the quintessential 'love at first sight' couple who stayed together and are still so enraptured in their love. This is more than just a fairy tale. It is their spectacular reality. Their only reality for which they will forever embrace and protect.

2016 has been a challenge. Globally, things have not been great and personally it has been challenging, all be it transformative. But, I am thankful for what this year has given me. With recent events in Syria and other violent acts during this year; oppression and xenophobia rampant everywhere, I can only be deeply thankful for the free and beautiful life we live and take for granted each day. I have spent beautiful moments with my family, and I have not had time to share any of them. Today, after taking my kids to the Doctor's office for their check-up, I decided that I would do a quick blog post in honour of another year of being a lucky-fish. Our kids have had birthdays, we have visited some lovely spots, including Old mac Daddy and River's Edge. We have travelled, played outside, cooked, read and laughed together, a liberty many do not have.
Cheers 2016.
