Moncton Wedding & Portrait Photographers

We got in the car and drove on a humid day as the sky with its large gray clouds offered to share a gift of luck in the form of raindrops.  When we arrived at the bride’s house, we were welcomed into a home alive with excitement and full of family.  We met the beautiful bride who smiled prettily despite the heat and pre-wedding jitters.  She was radiant and when she was all “done up” she brought tears of joy and smiles to the faces of her friends and family.

Their smiles could not compare to the smile that Raymond sported as his beautiful bride walked down the aisle; he was so taken with her that he bit his lip.  I swooned a little when I saw him do it.  You see, these two are in love.  The secret smile, can’t wait to kiss, toe curling kind of love that you see on screen in a perfect romance movie.

We posted more couples shots than normal because frankly these two are adorable together and share incredible chemistry.

Melissa and Raymond your day was laid out luxuriously, you two are more than perfect together and your bridal party was FANTASTIC!  Thank you so much for including us in your day!

“She’s down the hall in room 410″ said a smiling girl dressed in an elegant black dress, as we got off the elevator (our 4 cameras must have given us away).  We made our way to the room where more beautiful bridesmaids greeted us and where our beautiful brown-eyed bride was getting her make up done.  We set out to take some detail shots of the dress, earrings, bouquet in the adjacent room.  Our bride, Tiffani, giddily came in to show us the wedding gift that Jon had given her, the gift that made the bridesmaid’s drool, the gift that her friends said if they owned they wouldn’t wear them for fear of scuffing, the gift that was beyond Tiffani’s wildest imaginings – her very own pair of ‘to die for’ Christian Louboutin shoes. Jon, I would say your gift made more than quite a stir, and I wish you could have been there to see the smile it gave Tifani.

It was one of the many smiles which Jon brought to Tifani’s face that day. You see, Tifani is a little shy, and on the morning of her wedding, she was a little nervous.  When Tifani is nervous, she has this sweet shy smile and one cute little frown line, and her eyes are so big and beautiful, I swear she is more adorable than baby penguins, golden retriever puppies, and ducklings in the spring.  But whenever Jon is around, that little worry line and shy smile goes away; he makes her laugh.

It worked so perfectly that Jonathan and Tifani decided to see each other before the ceremony. They were able to share their ‘first look’ and excitement with their closest friends, they got to share quiet romantic moments that helped to dispel any nervousness before the  ceremony, and they got to spend more time after the ceremony with their fabulous guests.  If you can’t tell, I am a little biased as I love the idea of “the first look”. It is so intimate, so personal for the couple – it melts my overly romantic heart.

Tifani and Jonathan, you two are obviously in love and just perfect for each other.  Your day was more than fabulous, and we loved capturing the elegance, joy, and beauty of your day.  Enjoy your sneak peek, we simply can’t wait to share with you the rest of your pictures!

Our day began with Celeste and her girls in a bright and cheerful sunroom; there were smiles and stories and yummy treats as the girls were “made up”.  Celeste smiled along with her friends, and every once in a while I could see a hint of butterflies in her stomach as she thought about her perfect day.   These nervous butterflies kind of fit with her beautifully coordinated wedding of deep purples, subtle greens and tasteful butterfly theme. She had a lovely sunny day for her outdoor ceremony, and she and her dad exchanged smiles and tears as they walked to meet Brody.  Brodie grinned and watched as she walked down the aisle; and he forgot his nervousness for that split second when he first saw his bride.

We were lucky enough to be able to use Celeste’s mother’s beautiful home for pictures; it provided a stunning background and perfect shelter from the wind. After photographing a too-fun bridal party, we got to our favorite part of the day – the couple shots.

I love the calm that comes during this time of the wedding day; before this time there is rushing to appointments, nervousness and anticipation, details to be tended to; and after this time there are speeches to say, dances to dance and guests to catch up with; but for this sliver of the wedding day, the couple just gets to enjoy one another, to share smiles, kisses and quiet moments.

Celeste and Brodie, your day was beautiful from start to finish; thanks for sharing it with us!

We were really happy with our new assistant Krystle who helped us out during the day and captured these lovely candids of some of the wedding party.
