christy.matt|destiny

christy and matt - two people who i am glad to have met and honoured that they would let me be the one to capture their day, a milestone of a lifetime together. the day started off with a beautiful wedding mass at st. bernadette parish in surrey.

the bride and groom take their place before the altar

all tymes florist in surrey)


their happiness was radiating from their faces during the entire wedding

the rings!

my favourite moment of the entire day: no one saw this, but after receiving communion and while matt was in a moment of calm reflection, christy looked up to him and mouthed the words "i love you" and reached out to hold his hand. hopefully no one saw me wipe my eyes when they got a bit misty.

the reception at hazelmere country club in surrey was decorated to the nines
(matt gives credit to the ever-diligent christy for this)
first, here are a few photos "out back" on the gorgeous golf course

the smiles on their faces say it all - it was easy capturing them with elated expressions
photos don't lie, these two are made for each other

unequivocally stunning

looking sharp on the green


loved the blue-green colour palette of this wedding

the absolutely sumptuous (and delicious) cake by a friend of the bride
not professional? (i don't believe it for a second!)


no detail was ignored in the panorama room at the club

dancing as mr. and mrs. for the first time

a stolen moment during the reception at night. relaxed, peaceful... happy

christy and matt - thank you for bestowing upon me the privilege of taking photos at your wedding. it will forever be a day that i look upon for encouragement, inspiration and above all else: the knowledge that true happiness can be found in this life. congratulations to both of you. i look forward to the day when our paths cross once more!

you and i are forever

doug and michelle have been married for 25 years, but their love for each other seems to span the ages. you can tell that it has spilled over to their three children - bright, attractive, and energetic as they are. i was honoured when they asked me to take some photos at their vow renewal mass.

here's zach, their son, in quiet contemplation

their church was warm and intimate - the perfect venue for such a joyous milestone

after the mass, there was definitely some merry-making

doug and daughter teniya on the dance floor

michelle and other daughter deedee getting in a little ymca action

a familiar couple - perhaps i will have photos from their 25th anniversary one day ;)

here are some highlight collages i put together (i saved the cookies and tarts for last)

congratulations on your silver anniversary, michelle and doug - the youthful energy you two have is truly inspiring. thanks for letting me be a part of the occasion, your memories and your lives.
