In so many ways, Danya and Greg are straight out of a fairytale. Danya is more beautiful than any Disney princess and Greg is her handsome prince – and they both have hearts of gold. In celebration of Danya’s time volunteering at an orphanage in Swaziland, Africa, donations were made to the New Hope Centre orphanage in lieu of wedding favours. As a really cute touch, both Danya and Greg also wore TOMS shoes (for every pair of shoes purchased through this company, a second pair will be donated to a child in need). They even make extra sparkly TOMS (for brides like Danya who love all things sparkly and bright)! Our favourite event of the evening was a surprise performance by Danya’s dad and his former Image Band, playing all of her favourite love songs. The world is lucky to have such a sweet and caring couple as Danya and Greg <3

For many, winter is a time to hide away inside and wait for spring. For Tara & Chad, winter is the perfect excuse to get outside and play! Amongst all the cuddles, kisses, giggles, and decorating, there was still room for their energetic little puppies, Goobear and Kevin, to join in on some of the fun. For their session, we did something a little bit different to showcase just some of their winter delights.

Part of our delight will be ringing in 2013 at their New Year’s Ever After!

As we mentioned in Part One of Amanda & Mike’s session, these two like to play! For Part Two of their session Amanda & Mike painted the town and each other. The excitement and energy they brought to their paint “fight” was contagious–we had so much fun shooting it and trying not to get covered in paint ourselves. :)

What better metaphor for love than a burst of colour in an otherwise gray January day?!

Amanda and Mike came to us with a vision for their Spark session. Their love story is all about having fun and horsing around together, so for at least part of their session, they wanted to play! So on one of the only bright and snowy days we’ve had this year, we took a hike to one of the most beautiful locations in the area. Their dog, Ginsberg, even donned a special bowtie for the occasion.

We didn’t want Ginsberg to get too messy in Part Two… oops, we’ve already said too much! ;) but stay tuned for the colourful sequel!
