I’ve known Melissa since grade 1, but lost touch for several years until our paths crossed again when we were both working on a French children’s television production. I’m glad that we did – Melissa’s a great friend, full of energy and fun to be with. We’ve worked on several other film sets together and I can say, it’s never a dull moment when she’s around! She’s also a talented make-up artist and has helped me on a few shoots in the past, also having done my make-up for my own wedding. This year, she’s the one that got engaged and I was honoured when she asked me to be her wedding photographer. Melissa and Steve are an adorable couple, full of life and a ton of fun to be around! Not only am I excited to be shooting their wedding, but it’s also extra exciting because they will be getting married in the Dominican Republic this winter. Tropical weather, beach setting, hot climate — can’t wait! A perfect backdrop for a beautiful couple.
Wedding photos will come in a few months… but for now here are some of my favourite shots from the engagement session on Saturday. Soon they’ll be swapping their winter coats and mittens for flip flops and summer dresses…
