Janice and Edwin~If rain is good luck…

Julie Whitlock — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:55:04 +0000

It was September 4th and we were supposed to get a visit from good Ol’ Earl. The morning was windy and rainy while we were at the salon but by the time we got to Janice and Edwin’s house for the getting ready shots the rain had more or less ended. Woohoo! This day has been a long time in coming and they deserved the best day! Their love story is a great one. They met and parted and met again years later at the perfect time. They are so amazing together I spent most of the day bawling like a moron. Thanks in great part to Edwin. He’s a pretty sentimental guy !! But it was really the electric emotion from the two of you that was evident to everyone at the wedding that got to me!I felt so much welcome and love from the whole wedding party and the family. This was truly a day Steve and I will cherish! Thank you so much for your faith in me and your trust in capturing your day!! PS. I couldn’t resist yout TP Janice. It was just so fancy!!

Phew. It’s been a long week with many interesting developments. least of all the coming hurricane on my two wedding weekend. Alas, let’s just forget that and look back to the awesome wedding of Steph and Lou. Though Lou, sorry to say, you got gipped on this sneak haha!

Shannon and Tyler~ Cambridge Narrows

Julie Whitlock — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:10:38 +0000

I’m pretty behind in my blogging but I wanted to devote a quick moment of thanks to Shannon and Tyler for having us at their amazing wedding yesterday. They were an awesome couple to work with!! They are easily some of the best people you would ever want to meet. And having met their families I can tell where they get their warmth and genuine spirit. You can tell you’re in a family full of nurses in Shannon’s house! It’s no secret Steve and I have had crazy on and off cold/flu/plague all summer it seems and I was really touched by the care I got!! And what an awesome wedding party! Thanks for keeping me laughing all day ladies. And you boys weren’t so shabby either. I hope you guys are doing good today because you sure were having one great time when I left the barn! So here’s to you! And Shannon, use that big spoon wisely!

Employee of the Month~ Meet Steve

Julie Whitlock — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 01:31:34 +0000

For anyone who hasn’t met him, this is my husband Steve. Okay, the voting was rigged for this competition! But I thought he deserved a little shout out! At any given wedding he can be seen toting ALOT of gear, holding bouquets, purses, sunglasses…you name it. He’s my computer guy, chauffeur, navigator, balance beam, hydrator, snack guy… He does it all but actually take a picture. Ask him about the one he got in focus once. He’ll tell you all about it!! So here’s to Steve. I could not do it without you and I wouldn’t want to even if I could! If everyone getting married gets half as lucky as I have, you’re going to be really happy!

Steph and Lou~ Sneak Peek Phase 1

Julie Whitlock — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 23:06:43 +0000

I learned last night that screaming ” Oh My God! ” At the top of your lungs in the pitch dark on a country road is not a good idea. Steve thought I saw a moose or forgot my camera or Heaven knows what!! It was actually because I could not BELIEVE that I hadn’t thought of the perfect thing to put on y’alls ( heehee) oar! “to many more years of “Canoe-deling”!! So guys, this is just sneak peek part one.

For those who are yet to be wed, this is how girls get ready!

This is how boys get ready!

This is how to look gorgeous!

I thought a little vintage weeping willow would be a nice nod to Lou’s Southern American heritage!!

Just a little tease for you! Oh, that’s what she said haha!

St. Andrews by the Sea…of Love!~ Erica and Paul

Julie Whitlock — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 01:54:47 +0000

Oh Paul, I can hear you gag and seeing you roll your eyes already. Sorry dude! I couldn’t resist. Erica and Paul had the most amazing seaside themed wedding at the best seaside venue ever, the Algonquin Resort. Erica and Paul are two of my alltime faves. She is smart and witty and kind and wine and trays of cheese and crackers just seem to magically appear wherever she goes! Paul is genuine, honest and has a low tolerance for BS! My kind of guy. Oh, and he has a sassmouth that seems to run Astle-wide. I really did a bad job trying to pick my faves here. I’m convinced these guys are robots! No blinking, weird mouth gestures, nervous tics or the normal things that ruin tons of shots. Just natural beauty and Erica… those freckles!! To die for!! I’ve done more retouching on babies! There were so many great moments and loving gazes I just put in all my faves!

There were tons of amazing Vendors who made this day beautiful! Big shout out as usual to the Ladies of Live, Love, Laugh Event Planning for planning and Decor.May I highly recommend the Algonquin for your special day! The staff were amazing and the food was to die for!! Hey Erica, see what happens when you try to get past my husband with a tray of cupcakes. Nice try girl!! Thanks guys for having Steve and I at your day! We had a blast!!

Venue: Algonquin St. Andrews

Flowers: Garden by the Sea

Cupcakes: Bella Baked Goods

Band: Hawco ( they super rocked!!)

Stephanie and Lou~ Grand Lake

Julie Whitlock — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 23:17:34 +0000

Steph and Lou are getting married this weekend so I thought now might be a great time to put a few pics from their engagement session up on the blog! These kids live down in the Southern US of A so last week was our first chance to get together and get some shots done! See you very soon guys!

Monica and Troy~Riverside Romance!

Julie Whitlock — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 20:06:34 +0000

It’s hard to believe that Monica and Troy’s wedding has come and gone. It’s been a year of constant contact with Monica. She rocks. I can always count on her for a kind word or comment on a blog post and they always seem to come and just the perfect time. She truly is one of the sweetest ever!

Our day started at the fabulous Blonde Inc downtown. Big shout out to those ladies! They were funny, charming and the light from their big picture window made me a huge fan!! Troy, you also get big brownie points for the champagne you sent along as a surprise!!

Details, details…like I can ever get enough!! The decor was awesome and I have to say black chair covers rock!!

I can’t say enough about the family and friends at this wedding! They were so nice to Steve and I and super-fun! Too bad the flowers girls were so camera-shy haha!! It was a stunning day for a stunning couple. All the best kids! We had a blast!!

Marijke and John~Hmmm…

Julie Whitlock — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 01:13:38 +0000

I’ve been trying for 5 minutes to think up one of my clever blog titles but none seem to fit. Girl, it’s been a year and a half of Facebooking and emailing and thanks to the wonder of Iphones, texting from here to Toronto. I’ve been psyched about your wedding for what seems like forever and now that it is over I guess we’ll just have to talk about what we always do: whatever! That is what is so great about it. I can always count on you for a good answer to a random rant or just to laugh at silliness or some awesome Iphone mistypes! Or my new fave, texts meant for John haha! John, I could say you’re a lucky man… but you’re not. You didn’t luck in to this girl! You won her with your sense of humour and kindness. The same way you got all these friends you’ve had forever. You guys deserve the happiness I know you’ll have with each other. So enough with that lovey stuff and on with the photos!

All wedding parties should come with a dude whose father is a tailor. And who yells out family groupings for me. I’m thinking of trading in Steve for Nigel.

Okay girl, I don’t think we had enough time to do the shoes justice. Maybe you should bring them home at Christmas to have a shoot of their own! Good call on the shoes Jacks!!

This is what happens when you tell silly boys to “bring it!”

Oh and this happens as well. Every girl should have such a security detail!!

Could you be more beauteous??

Oh many things were revealed during these speeches. The highlights seemed to be interesting places to get pizza, invisible twins and something about itineraries John’s Mom read??!!

I learned that it is mighty hard to sneak up on babies!

Men, not so much!!

So this is the end guys. But not really. I’ll text ya when you get home!
