I<\/span> was really, really excited and really, really nervous by the time Saturday rolled around last week. I’d been in contact with a sweet couple that had asked me to photograph their wedding, and by the time the wedding rolled around I actually had butterflies in my tummy. (Can I say tummy? It seems like a bit of a silly word, but “butterflies in my stomach” just doesn’t roll off the tongue the same way, does it?)<\/p>\n

Anyway, the day was grey and freeeeeeezing cold – at least, freezing in comparison to the sunny, mild September we’ve just enjoyed. I was a little concerned that the light would be flat and dull, and the ceremony was scheduled to end just a few minutes before sunset. I kept a wary eye on the forecast all week long.<\/p>\n

And just look at what Mother Nature gave us!<\/p>\n

I swear, I was even *more* nervous about not screwing up the rainbow shot than I was about not screwing up the ceremony shots!! No pressure there, no siree. (Eek!) Aren’t they just an adorable couple, though? They made me feel like a part of the family during the wedding. <\/p>\n

And then I spent the whole day on Sunday playing with the pictures I’d taken, so much so that I didn’t have a chance to take any new pictures at all, so I stole another favourite from the wedding as my picture of the day for Sunday, too. (Hey, my project, my rules!) I love love love this shot, from the light to Erin’s expression to the girliness of all those ruffles. I guess I needn’t have expended all that angst over the light, eh?<\/p>\n

\"282:365<\/a><\/p>\n

It was, on the whole, a rather dull and rainy week. Rain can lend its own flavour to a scene, though, like the drops on this web and fence. (Yes, I am fixated on a few key elements lately. Rural shots, fence shots, and textures. Fixated may not be a strong enough word for it.)<\/p>\n

\"283:365<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh right, here’s another fixation: vintage anything! (Surprise – with texture!)<\/p>\n

\"284:365<\/a><\/p>\n

You can’t really blame me for being fixated on the fall colours right now. This is such a photogenic time of year – it’s hard to take a bad picture. (Oh look, more textures!) (I really like this one. I think it’s the best texture work I’ve done recently.)<\/p>\n

\"286:365<\/a><\/p>\n

Enough with the textures? Okay, some straight-up cuteness for you. I love that he so loves flowers!<\/p>\n

\"285:365<\/a><\/p>\n

(Doesn’t he look so grown up in that one? I am always intrigued by photographs of kids where you can see the grown-up lurking inside and peeking through!)<\/p>\n

And finally, this one with some of my favourite toys. I’m heading out to the Blissdom Canada<\/a> social media conference next week (squee!) and as I make checklists in my head about what to bring (iPhone? Check. Camera? Check. Laptop? Check.) this picture came together. I called it “Road trip, vintage style!”<\/p>\n

\"287:365<\/a><\/p>\n

I dunno, you think I can fit it all in the overhead bin on the plane? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
