Tony and Jessica are High School Sweet Hearts! Through-out High School they had a number of science classes together, and in Grade 11 they sat next to each another for the entire year during Biology 20/30. Tony terrorized Jessica with the frog dissection and took part in leaving frog intestines inside of her binder (he still had yet to learn that teasing a girl wasn’t the best way to her heart – but in a funny way it melted hers). They quickly became best friends, spending every weekend together, and when they weren’t together they spent endless hours on the phone. Tony became interested in Jess a long time before she realized she had the same feelings for him.

Around the time people started asking dates to High School Grad, Tony and Jess were still just friends. However, he’d found out another guy Jess had been seeing was going to ask her to Grad the next weekend, so that afternoon during a diploma study session at his house he asked her. Because he was such a fun, sweet, reliable guy and Jess knew they would have a wonderful time, she said yes! By the time Grad rolled around they had started dating, and now here they are today, over five years later, getting married! Jessica & Tony I had so much fun watching the two of you enjoy each other. Your laughter it contagious!!  I can’t wait for your big day! Lots of love – Shawna

For the week prior to Mina & Jeremy’s wedding I had been checking the weather again & again!  When I woke up on the morning of their big day I instantly went to the window & wallah it was gorgeous outside! The day started with photographing Mina and the girls getting ready at her parents lovely home in Kensington. When I arrived Nancy (Mina’s Mom) had a tuna sandwich waiting for me. Thanks Nancy……It was delicious! Everyone was relaxed and enjoying the day. Sipping some champaign, eating snacks & sitting on the patio catching some rays!

As you can see by how many shots were taken…I loved Mina’s wedding dress & shoes. Mina & girls looked simply stunning! Mina is one of those lucky girls who can leave the house without a stitch of make-up, wearing a baseball cap & still looks amazing!  While I was shooting I also noticed how lovely Mina’s Grandmother looked. She was wearing a beautiful turquoise dress & these really funky sunglasses! When I was leaving I went to grab my own sunglasses & they weren’t there. Granny was wearing them as she thought they were hers!!! I must say she looked better in them than I do! Judith was photographing the guys & from what I understand they were a little more stressed than the girls! No one knew how to tie a bow tie! They even watched YouTube for instructions but eventually ended up going back to Holt Renfrew for help! Phew!

Due to some delays we ended up having just over 30 minutes for the formals & we still managed to get some fantastic shots! Other than this & one getting ready mishap  the rest of the day went off without a hitch. The wedding was beautiful. The reception was full of fun, happy tears and laughter! It was clear to me that Mina and Jeremy are very blessed & surrounded by people who love them dearly!

Mina & Jeremy, thank you for inviting me into your lives, and into your love story. Judith & I were honoured to be a part of your day. I must say I had to hold back the tears on more than a few occasions. I know in my heart your future is extraordinarily beautiful for you both. Much love and appreciation… Shawna & Judith

Reid and Marita met at work and felt an instant connection. They quickly learned that they had many people in common, attended the same Elementary, Junior High and High Schools, shared the same values and many common interests. Soon they became best friends; inseparable and laughing everyday together. They knew immediately that they never wanted to be without each other. Marita remembered a conversation they once had when they first started dating, that no matter what path this relationship leads to in the future, that no matter what, that they will always remain friends. Marita even entertained the idea of moving to Vancouver in the fall of 2010 (before she had met Reid) but as they became friends, she knew that plan wasn’t going to happen anymore. She remembers mentioning it to him and he immediately said, “No! You can’t leave!”

After having only known each other a few short months and dating only one month, they booked a trip to Mexico together for New Year’s Eve. It was the best vacation they had ever taken! They then decided to book another trip right away for their Easter break, which was when Reid proposed to Marita. She was shocked, as it was unexpected, “but when YA KNOW, YA KNOW”. They are the happiest they have ever been. They waited their whole lives to meet each other and believe it was true fate that they both got jobs at the same school in 2009. This my friends is a true love story and I am so please  that I get to share their big day with them this upcoming October! I seriously CAN NOT WAIT! Lots of love – Shawna
