Suzie & Corey…Afternoon light in Hudson

Chantal — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 19:57:04 +0000

Fall is my favorite season to photograph with it’s deep, vibrant colors, cooler weather and the golden light of the sun. However, fall can be a little grey, so I was ecstatic with the perfect day for a lovely afternoon session in Hudson.

I met up with Suzie and Corey in Hudson, a virtual mecca of trees and flowers, stone walls and beaches. The light was just perfect to highlight Suzie’s gorgeous red hair and if you look closely, you’ll notice that Corey has eyes of different colors!

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding! In the meantime, here are some of my favorite images from the engagement session.

Jenny & Rob…Pink Converse at the Château Vaudreuil

Jenny and Rob are the kind of people that you meet only once in a while. Witty, silly, happy-go-lucky, and just plain adorable, these two carry the warmth of a Christmas fireplace in their hearts and spread happiness and joy where ever they go. Their wedding day was a day full of surprises and much laughter. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much at a wedding!

Rob has a penchant for Converse shoes and Jenny loves surprises! Put the two together and you get the best kept secret; Jenny surprised Rob after the ceremony, showing off her bright pink Converse shoes! During the preparations Jenny was adamant that they wear proper dress shoes for the wedding, so Rob had no idea! Priceless!

Enormous thanks and gratitude goes to my second photographer Hombeline Dumas who spent the morning photographing the guys during their preparations and for her tireless energy and optimism. Here are some of my favorite images from the day.

Catherine & Andrew…A winter wedding in Old Montreal

Chantal — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 15:55:29 +0000

Right after Christmas holidays, I had the pleasure of photographing Catherine and Andrew’s beautiful winter wedding at the Hotel Place d’Armes in Old Montreal. Not only are these two head over heels in love, they are also a lovely couple, radiating happiness wherever they go and this couple has traveled all over the globe!

These two have to be one of the most fit couples I have ever met and no wonder! Andrew plays defense for the Houston Dynamos, and spends most of the year training or playing soccer in the MLS and Catherine is an ashtanga yoga instructor.

They have graciously allowed me to share my favorite wedding images from their wedding day and so here are just a few of my favorites!

Meredith & Rodney…in the Old Port of Montreal

Chantal — Wed, 23 May 2012 01:51:55 +0000

Meredith & Rodney are the perfect combination of serious and funny, wry and whimsical, and are all smiles and laughter. You’d never know to look at Rodney that he almost lost his life last year to illness! So, after a little hiatus, Meredith & Rodney are finally going to tie the knot, and I’m proud to present you a few of my favorite images from their engagement session in the Old Port of Montreal.

Melissa & Bernard…

La première fois que j’ai rencontré Melissa & Bernard, j’ai aussi fait la rencontre de leurs parents et leur frères et soeurs. Ils ont une famille qui aime rire et sourire et ce fut vraiment agréable de passer la journée de mariage ensemble. Mais avant leur mariage, nous avons passés une superbe journée au jardin botanique pour leur séance de photo avant-mariage. Voiçi quelques-unes de mes photos favorites de la journée.

The very first time I met Melissa & Bernard, I also met their parents and siblings. They are a heartwarming family who love to laugh and spending the wedding day with them was a real treat! However, before the wedding day, I spent a sunny afternoon with Melissa & Bernard at the jardin botanique. Here are a few of my favorite images from their engagement session.

Le tout est dans les détails!

Chantal — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:20:02 +0000

J’adore photographié les détails dans chaque mariage. Les souliers, le bouquet, les alliances, le centre de table, les bonbonières, en bref tout les petits détails qui font que chaque mariage est unique. Et les couleurs! Rouge, rose, mauve, orange, aqua, tout est permis!

——————————

One of the things that I love about weddings are the details. The shoes, the flowers, the rings, the favours and the centrepieces, in short, all the little details that make each and every wedding unique. Not to mention the colours! Red, pink, orange, purple, teal, anything goes!

Those shoes! I just love the red!

Hayley & Shane…Married!

Chantal — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:42:06 +0000

It’s so hard to put into words the complicity of this couple; Hayley is as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside, and has the most beautiful smile that lights up every room she walks in. Shane is down to earth and so grounded. Together they are a spectacular couple! Not to mention, their little pooch Roxie, who always comes a’runnin’ whenever I walk in.

Hayley & Shane were married in their friend’s gorgeous backyard on the edge of the water in Hudson. The house and grounds are breathtakingly gorgeous, but what I particularly loved about their wedding was the family feel of the dinner: barbecued chicken with home fries and roasted vegetables. They are truly blessed to have such close friends and family. Here are a few of my favorite images from their day.
