Jason & Jennifer, October 13, 2007

I don't know what I liked best about this couple, the fact that they feel like family because this is the second "Rogers Sister" wedding I have photographed in as many years or the fact that they agreed to and wanted to eat Kawartha Ice Cream outside in a freezing downpour!

Jason and Jennifer, you are an inspiring couple, making such a truly beautiful out of such intense weather.

Brett & Pam, September 29, 2007

It was a lovely group of ladies and a lively group of men that made Pam and Brett's wedding so memorable for us. From old gas stations to vintage liquors, there was never a dull moment. Congratulations guys, have fun in Banff, my old stomping grounds!

Grand Opening

I welcome all to join us this evening at my new studio, Boulevard Photography and Fine Things' grand opening.

We are located in the Shops of Waterloo Town Square, 75 King Street S, Waterloo, inside the mall beside the travel agent. Though we are open all day for business, the party runs from 6-9 with our grand opening ceremonies at 8:00. Don't miss out, we are drawing for some amazing door prizes!

See you tonight!

Robert & Melissa, September 22, 2007

There was only one thing more touching than the moment when Melissa's dad saw her in her gown for the first time on Melissa and Robert's wedding day and whispered "hey Tooch". That was the moment that Robert saw Melissa as she began to walk down the aisle. Robert, a man of few words said much with the look on his face. The bustle of the great big Italian wedding didn't seem to register with this couple who seemed to exist in a world of their own as 4'11 Melissa's eyes constantly swept upward to take in the gaze of her 6'1" groom. Congratulations you two, it was a joy and a pleasure to be there.

Jake & Joan, September 16, 2007

This make have been the most outwardly happy couple I have ever met. Jake was grinning SOOOOOOOO big that the congregation actually broke out into laughter when he walked into the church. The smiles REALLY never left their faces, from the moment exquisite Joan walked through the trees to see Jake for the first time to the moment that we left them with their private champagne cuddle at the end of the day. What a perfect way to spend a sunny September afternoon!

Tara & Jeff, September 15, 2007

It just seemed like this wedding started out perfectly elegant and yet still got better and better as the day wore on. The bride was perfect, gorgeous and relaxed. Her flowers and the bridesmaid dresses were so unique, they were a photographers dream. The wedding party was a blast, the kids in the wedding party we so cute, they were edible. The groom was easy going (and totally gorgeous, too).

The wedding was outdoors at one of my favourite wedding venues and restaurants, the Old Mill in Aberfoyle. Thank you Tara and Jeff, we had so much fun and met so many great people along the way!

It's here!!!!!!

Well, it's happening, tomorrow we open the doors to Boulevard Photography and Fine Things in the Shops of Waterloo Town Square. We have some amazing "Fine Things" for you and even more amazing photographers waiting to capture your special day, your wee baby, your expecting tummy, your whole family and more!

Thanks all for your amazing support and your words of encouragement.

See you at Boulevard!

So proud to call her my friend....

I remember the swell of pride I felt when I saw the photo of Jenn crossing the finish line at Toronto's Weekend to End Breast Cancer. This is a 60 km walk to raise funds to end this terrible disease. Jenn used to work with me and has been the 2nd shooter at many of my weddings. Jenn has since moved to Vancouver but comes back to Ontario on a regular basis to shoot Boulevard weddings (and visit her family). She is a favourite with engaged couples and their families because she has a true passion for making your day special. Her passion for giving continues across the county as she prepares to walk ANOTHER 60 km walk.

Read below and if you can, offer her your support.
Thank you,
Heather


From Jenn:
Hi Friend,
On September 5-7, 2008 I'll be participating in The Weekend to End Breast Cancer.I'll walk 60 kilometres over 2 days with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, treatment, and services through the BC Cancer Foundation.I've agreed to raise at least $2,000, but I'd love to exceed the $2600 I raised a couple of years ago. Use the link at the bottom of this email to visit my site - and please take the time to support me. Please keep in mind how far I'm walking - and how hard I'll have to train.According to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, approximately 20,500 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and about 5,400 will die from the disease. That's why I'm walking so far. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.Thank you in advance for your generosity!Sincerely,Jennifer KirkClick here to visit my personal page.If the text above does not appear as a clickable link, you can visit the web address:http://www.endcancer.ca/site/TR/Events/Vancouver2008?px=2350764&pg=personal&fr_id=1255&fl=en_US&et=G3G0vCfzpuy9wO7EVct-_A..&s_tafId=187181

Kevin & Tiffany, September 8, 2007

The universe certainly has a way of evening things out. Months ago we did Kevin and Tiffany's engagement shoot on a bitterly cold day where Tiffany just about froze her toes off. BUT...on their wedding day the sun shone and we had the best weather. It was such a blast to stroll through St. Jacobs with this group, eating ice cream and recreating old album covers!

Beautiful day!

Vicky & Dan, August 24, 2007

va-voooom!


reserved?...too bad!

I was sooooooooooo excited to photograph this wedding. Vicky is my hair stylist at the fabulous "Studio One Thirty One" in Waterloo and we've been talking wedding plans for the past year. She's fun, picked a great guy and has a heart of gold...not to mention she's gorgeous!!! (my husband says she looks like a country music star).

Dan was a bit unusually quiet until he said "I do" but then we got the guys into it as much as the girls...it was a fun fun day and Sarah and I were so honoured to be a part of it!!!!

Kirsten & Ryan, August 25, 2007

Despite busy schedules, malfunctioning email accounts and crazy weather...this couple managed to say "I do" amidst the crack of thunder on a very wet Saturday afternoon. No dampened spirits, however, for our fiery redheaded bride and her handsome groom.

Eric & Natalie, August 18, 2007

Seriously ladies, thank goodness you looked so good because you sing as bad as me!!!! When the girls weren't singing and the guys weren't posing in their kilts, the bride and groom were high-fiving each other during the signing of the registry. I say over and over that you can tell a lot about people by the people they choose to hang out with (i.e. their wedding party) and this was a great group of people. Congratulations Natalie and Eric, have fun on your surprise honeymoon!!!

(forgive me, I can't stop playing with textures, I love making the images look weathered...)

Lisa & Brian, August 11, 2007

Photographing Lisa and Brian's wedding was like hanging out with old friends all day. The first thing Lisa said to me when I walked into her hotel room that morning was "eat...there are sandwiches over there"...must be the Italian hospitality.

The day was sweet and loving from the socks Brian send over before the wedding in case Lisa got cold feet to the tears Lisa shed saying good bye to her grandpa that night. Thank you Lisa and Brian, we went home with our hearts light and our tummys full!

Alicia & Brian, August 10, 2007

Perfect weather, perfect venue, perfect for each other!

Brian and Alicia seemed to float effortlessly through their day as they turned a blind eye to the sweltering heat from the week before and the downpour of the rain the day before and swore their love to each other under the blue sky in the beautiful University of Guelph Arboretum. A light breeze kept us cool and smiles reigned the day as we strolled and celebrated and photographed and laughed....

Perfect!
