Whistle Bear - Cambridge, Ontario Wedding - Alex & Matt get married!

After a long cold winter in Ontario, it seems as though we have finally been blessed with nice Spring weather! Alex & Matt's gorgeous wedding at Cambridge's eloquent Whistle Bear Golf and Country Club couldn't have been nicer!

All in all, it really was one of those weddings where I felt like I could have been wearing a bridesmaid dress and gotten away with it. The entire wedding party were so amazing, fun, chill, happy go lucky, quick to smile, gorgeous, full of laughs, and 100% totally there for their friends Alex and Matt.

What made this wedding one-of-a-kind for me, was the fact that the brides gorgeous mum HANDMADE the wedding gown! AND ALL the bouquets/boutonnieres! The level of talent and creativity displayed at this wedding and by the bride and her mum was astounding. I have SO much appreciation for crafty talented folks! The bride and groom had informed me that they had been very hands on with all their wedding decor and details, which I love. It just has this way of adding a super personal touch to the day, and having your personality shine through all those little magical touches that make the day even more memorable.

It made me so happy to have been there for them that day, and I'm pleased to post some fun samplers from their day. As always, Whistle Bear shined with their impeccable service, and luxurious venue. A very big thank you, Whistle Bear for being such amazing hosts!

What a Whirlwind!

It's been a long time since I've sat down and created a blog post. To say its been busy just doesn't describe what a chaotic, whirlwind of a wedding season it's been.

And throw in the excitement of renovating a new studio on top of it all! Thats right, next week at this time, I should be in Herakovic Photography's brand new 1900 sq.ft studio!

I've laughed, cried, screamed, wanted to hide away, give up, push forward, been overwhelmed, doubted myself, reassured myself.... any emotion you can think of, I've experienced it. But finally, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and its happening. The moving company is coming next Wednesday and that will be that.

Throughout all this studio ruckus, has been several fabulous weddings and other fun photoshoots. Most recently was a wedding with two modelesque individuals who are madly in love with each other. Their families and friends were all so amazing, and the love they shared, the support they offered was undeniably beautiful.

Melanie and Mackenzie's wedding day went off without a hitch, although there was a few spots of rain, it didn't stop us and definitely didn't shake the smiles off anyones face. I'm truly in love with the photos and memories we created that day. John and I chatted about it and agreed it was one of our faves.

Here are some photos to help you share in their beautiful day.

I'm constantly surrounded by so many beautiful individuals, and with it the reminder of how blessed I am to be apart of their special day. They enrich my life and in turn I offer a creative interpretation of their magical day.

Here are some very kind words shared by 2013 bride and groom, Ruben & Jenny!

Danielle was so much fun to work with during our engagement Shoot and wedding day. We absolutely love the photos she took and are so happy with the selection she provided us. Danielle has an amazing talent and you can tell she really loves her job :) We will definitely be calling Danielle in the future for more photo shoots!
Thank you for all your hard work and input into our special day :)

Working with this gorgeous couple was such a pleasure. I'm confident I will know this family for a long time to come!

Holiday Contest!

The snow falling these days is absolutely charming. I know most would gladly wring my neck at my cheerful disposition towards the season. Truth be told, photos during this unique season can be so special!

Snowflakes on the tip of your nose, falling gently all around, snow angles, tumbling into the snow with your lover. *sigh* I'm a doomed hopeless romantic.

Selfishly, I am giving away a FULL length photo session with myself in hopes that I will shoot in this fluffy white winterland. Make sure you stop by my Facebook page to enter today!:


Entering this contest is simple!

So far, the holiday traditions and memories from people childhoods have completely warmed my heart! Can't wait to see what YOU have to post! ;-)

Cottage life and the working girl....

So here I am at the cottage, the long weekend is here. Despite being successfully self-employed and in charge of making my own hours, which I am very lucky to be able to say, I still can't bear to be too far from my work. My trusty iMac wears the badge of honour to this testament with it's poor cracked screen from a few weeks back when it tumbled out of the back of my vehicle. The fabulousness that is clear masking tape dutifully holds it together and like the little engine that could, the iMac just doesn't give up. Today I worked on editing some of Shari and Ryan's engagement photos that we shot last week. Here is a sampling of my favs:
