Korandin and Peter had a visit to the Island last summer and loved it so much they wanted to get married here I take it for granted that we have beautiful beaches and beautiful sunsets and amazing people …. it takes a different perspective for me to appreciate what I have here on PEI. Korandin had also never seen a lighthouse in person before so we had to get to Covehead beach…. while there we were caught in a flash rain storm… Korandin and Peter said it would make for a fun memory and I agree

One of my favourite parts to a wedding is the shoes……and YES….for any shoe lovers out there, like myself….those are a pair of Badgley Mischka’s and I LOVE them!!

Kerri & Nathan are an excellent team! They work well together and are very in love. Their attention to detail with their wedding made it so fun for me!! Thanks for the great day! Enjoy Hawaii

It is so hard to believe that this year is my 20 year high school, would be reunion (even though our class has never done any reunions). In my heart I still feel 20 even though my body and face tell otherwise. There are a few friends that I have kept in touch with and many I have not. Looking back at our high school graduation, I remember making promises of never losing touch with each other but unfortunately we have . Life just gets so busy and goes by so quickly.

One of my best friends in high school was Maeghan. She is a fun loving, easy going spirit that was definitely with me though very good times and some very rough days in my high school life. To my surprise and very happy delight I received an email this summer saying that she would be on the Island with her family and would like to see me.

One of the best perks of being a photographer is that I can capture family and friends in my life with photos that they will cherish forever and I was able to do that with my dearest friend Maeghan

Maeghan, you are one friend that I will never lose touch with and I am so blessed to have you in my life….. xoxo Shelly

Kerri and Nathan met and fell in love in the sky….and this weekend they make it official. Here is a few of their engagement shots and I look forward to their wedding this weekend. Kerri and Nathan are so much fun and I know there will be no shortage of fun shots!

Chris and Jessica are married and here is a few shots of their perfect day!

I am not sure if I can actually put into words how much this wedding filled me with gratitude. This is one of those weddings where you are just really lucky to have been apart of.

Two things happened to me at this wedding, I had the privilege to chat with Stephanie’s grampy and he started to talk about his wife who had passed last August. When he talked about her, you could see the love he had for her and the pain of losing her. He told me they were married for 68 years. I asked him what was the secret to that many years. He said that you need to be a good listener, as one tear rolled down his cheek. I had never meet Stephanie’s grandmother but I can tell you that the love started with the grandparents and has followed through to Stephanie and Mike

The second moment at this wedding was at the reception, during the speeches. Stephanie’s best friend and matron of honour and my helper had gotten up to do her speech. This was the most touching speech I had ever heard from a best friend. There was not a dry eye in the house and the room was just full of love. Needless to say, Stephanie and Mike are surrounded by love and you can feel it. Sometimes, as a photographer, you see more through the lens than just photos and this was one of those occasions.

Thanks Mike and Stephanie for letting me be apart of one of the most important days, it truly was a pleasure.
