Shandel & Jacques

2011-06-01T12:16:00.007-04:00

This past May, Adam from Woodhouse Photography asked me to shoot a wedding for him because he was already booked. I was more than happy to be a part of the Woodhouse Photography staff for the day! Adam adds a wonderful touch to his photographs in post-production, so I was quite excited to have images I shot processed by him.

The wedding was held at the beautiful Westwind Inn in Buckhorn.

Shandel's & Jacques day was an intimate affair with only their closest family and friends there to witness their marriage ceremony. The weather was not the best but it did not matter. Being from Toronto, they were excited to be at the lake to exchange their vows and portraits on the dock were a must.

Adam has posted some of the images to his own blog. I invite you to visit his blog and view the beautiful images that Woodhouse Photography and Parkes Images created together.

Thanks Adam.

Andrew & Miranda

2010-10-29T17:54:00.014-04:00

Andrew, Miranda and I met this past Saturday for the
first time at her mom's home in Bancroft.
As I walked into the house, I could only smell the turkey
that was roasting in the oven.
I was even invited to join them for dinner!

We first headed to Millennium Park in Bancroft.
Love that bridge!

When we were finished at the park, we went to the Eagle's Nest.
It's a look out with a view of Bancroft.
It is quite the vertical incline to drive up but totally worth it.

Miranda asked for a 'piggyback' shot.
To my surprise though..she wanted to give the piggy
back ride to Andrew! She's a tiny little thing and it was no
easy task....she a strong one!

Thank you to Adam Woodhouse for passing along my name to this lovely couple.
I look forward to your day in June 2011!

Jeff & Sheila

2010-10-01T09:04:00.020-04:00

Jeff and Sheila won a portrait session with me at a silent auction that was
held at Buckhorn Public School.
Both of our children attend BPS so it was a treat for me to do portraits
for a local family.

Sheila loves her home and since they are moving very soon,
she wanted the portraits shot there.

They have a gorgeous property and I could have kept shooting
for hours at so many different locations.

Jeff and Sheila are a very large part of the Buckhorn community
making generous donations to a variety of events and structures.

Their little guy kept me moving but he did enjoy being a model.
This image is one of my favorites. I love that genuine smile!

Chelsea is one of their three family dogs. She has been
around the longest and was constantly asking to be in the portraits.
We finally gave in and allowed to be a part of the action.

This image is not the sharpest but I could not resist posting it.
When we finished shooting and were walking back towards the house,
I turned to see him taking off his shirt, belt and tie off...he couldn't wait!

Thank you Jeff and Sheila for inviting me to your beautiful home to capture
these portraits for you. It was so much fun.
Call me anytime Sheila to come and get those horse photos done!

Terra & Logan

2010-09-07T10:51:00.019-04:00

Terra & Logan were married in Fenelon Falls on August 7, 2010.

Terra's gown gorgeous!

It had a shimmering blue hue to it and she could not wait to put it on.

Every bride chooses her shoes very carefully for the big day and

Terra was no exception.

Great shoes Terra!

The ceremony was held at Fenelon Falls United Church.
A very pretty church. I LOVE when a church has a balcony.

The ceremony was very emotional for their families and friends.

This couple is surrounded by love!

I did ask Terra & Logan to enjoy a long and solid long kiss so I could capture it.

They did...to the point where the congregation started to giggle.

Terra a was sweet and beautiful bride. I am sure her cheeks must have
been sore by the end of the day.
Smiles! Smiles! Smiles!

We shot many photos with the weding party. More than I ususally do.
This was at the request of Terra & Logan.

These people mean so very much to them.

The reception and photos were at Royal Resort in Fenolon Falls.

Terra used to be an employee there. It was beautifully done!

The girls!

Many giggles all day long!

The guys....need I say more?

Congratulations Terra & Logan!

You are a truly lovely couple.

I so enjoyed being a part of your wedding day.

Thank you so much.

All the best!

Andrea & Phil

2010-08-16T22:59:00.029-04:00

Andrea and Phil were married on Friday August 6, 2010.
Camp Oneida is a Christian camp where the couple met
and it is here that they chose to exchange their vows.

During the ceremony, Andrea and Phil planted a tree.
As every guest entered the ceremony site, they poured a
wee bit of water into a watering can.
This would be used to water the tree during the ceremony.

It was important to Andrea and Phil to have an
outdoor ceremony overlooking Lake Erie.
Ten minutes prior to Andrea walking down the aisle, it began
to pour rain.
This is Andrea with a brave face, watching the rain fall
and hoping it would stop.

Not only did the rain stop but a beautiful
double rainbow appeared.
A sign indeed.

They asked for a few portraits on the beach.
The sun was setting creating this gorgeous glow.
I just loved the way the sunset lit them up!

As we were finishing on the beach, Andrea wanted
to wash her feet off.
Of course the tide wanted to be in on the action!

Without a doubt the best beverage cooler I have ever seen!

Finally it was time for the bride and groom to change their clothes
and head to the bonfire.
Songs, speeches and roasted marshmallows.
A most excellent way to end the evening!

Congratulations Andrea and Phil!
You are a wonderful couple surrounded by love.
All the best.

Portraits in the Park

2010-07-13T13:14:00.020-04:00

Early this past Spring, I had my website re-done. To celebrate, I wanted to offer my clients a portrait special. I decided to take it one step further and donate 100% of the sitting fees to the Niagara Peninsula Children's Centre. My cousin's daughter (Ella) is a sweet little girl and they use this centre on a regular basis.
The response was fantastic!
In the end, twelve family portrait sessions were booked over four days.
Below are a few of the images of all the families who participated.

The Brens Family

The Harle Family

The Dick Family

The VanDriel Family

The Martens Family

The Coulson Family

The Phillips Family

The Clark Family

The Pilling Family

The Prinsen Family

The Warkentin Family.

Sweet Ella. This is the little angel it was all about.
At the end of our shoot, I handed her mom the camera and asked
for a photo with Ella. I normally prefer to stay behind the camera
but she is so special I just could not resist.

I want to thank all of the families who participated in
Portraits in the Park. This week, I will be sending a
cheque to the NPCC for almost $600!
I am so lucky to have such great friends, family and clients.

Laura & Tucker

2010-05-25T14:55:00.017-04:00

Laura and I met over 10 years ago while we were both employed at

MT Bellies Restaurant. She was the dining room manager and

helped me through my training.

Her son Tucker is a really sweet boy. Very polite and even more charming.
I just love his freckles!

After spending a bit of time with the two of them, I could see
that they are a team. They get along very well and take
care of each other.

Laura asked if I could add a butterfly to the portraits.
Butterflies have a very personal, significant and special
meaning for Laura and Tucker.

"It was great to connect with you again Laura.
I enjoyed our time together."

The Coulson Girls

2010-05-20T15:33:00.008-04:00

The Coulson gals!
These three ladies are simply...beautiful.

Her little grand daughter has such a sweet face.
She would sit, pose and smile for me on her terms only. Clever girl.

A generations portrait of Heather, her daughter Ashley and her grand daughter.

The three girls were so natural and at ease with each other.
The love and bond they share is easy to see.

I could just SQUEEZE her!

Thank you Heather for having me photograph
these very special portraits.

The VanDriel Family.

2010-05-19T09:17:00.009-04:00

The VanDriel family shoot was originally scheduled at Jaycee Park, but the weather changed everything and in the end we shot at their home in Beamsville. The backyard is beautiful and backs on to orchards filled with fruit trees.

This pose of the kids was slightly forced.

Jenneke and Leo have been married for 20 years. They told this was the first time they've had portraits done since their wedding.

This is the kind of posing the kids wanted to do...hee hee. I love this one!

It was wonderful to see you again VanDriel family. Thank you very much for inviting me into your home and allowing me to spend some time with you all.

Bev's & Mike's Family

2010-05-06T15:16:00.011-04:00

Last year, I donated a gift certificate to the Quarry's annual golf tournament. Bev was the winner and last Saturday we got together with her family to have some fun.Her little grandson was on the move!

He was hard to keep up with and I was sweating by the time we were done.

He had us all chasing him.

I was able to distract him near his Grandma's garden. He started to pick her flowers but she didn't mind at all. I am sure he can do no wrong.

The idea here was to have him stand with his parents and grandparents in the background. He had other ideas. So....we went with it...it worked.

He loves his mama! This is one of my favorite shots from the whole session.

Mom and dad laid on their tummy's and Grandma would plop him in the middle. I could barely click my shutter before he would tumble off of them.

He loved his wagon too.

Thank you very much to Bev & Mike and Jennifer & Dale and of course their little man who was the star of the show!

Spring Portrait offer for Niagara.

2010-04-16T08:25:00.010-04:00

I met Erin & Jeff one year ago when they hired me to photograph their newborn baby boy.

He has just celebrated his first birthday and look at him now. He has us all wrapped around his sweet little finger.

They are a wonderful family and I look forward to being a part of their special day this June.

Jeff and Erin are getting married this June and have asked me to photograph it.

We met at Jackson Park in Peterborough to shoot their engagement portraits. It was a gorgeous , warm and sunny March day.

Samantha's & Ryan's maternity shoot.

2009-12-07T09:34:00.015-05:00

I worked with Samantha at LaCachette restaurant in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

I was thrilled when she contacted me to shoot these portraits for her.
She was quite nervous when we first started. Actually, she was very nervous!
We took our time, had a visit, she relaxed and did a great job!
She is a gorgeous woman!

We shot everything with just available window light. My favorite way to shoot!

This shot with both Sam and Ryan is one of favorites! They're just an adorable couple.

He did everything he could for her during the shoot to make her feel more comfortable.

And...he was a great help to me! Held up my backdrops up for me.

Thanks Ryan!

The first time I walked into their home and saw the loft, I knew I wanted to use it.

We got some really cool shots from this angle.

Sam was quite 'comfy cozy' in these shots.

I told her to just melt into Ryan...and she did!

I think she would have been quite happy to shoot the rest right there in his arms.

Thank you Ryan and Sam for allowing me to capture this amazing time.

I am looking forward to meeting your little one...I'll be sure to bring my camera!

Katie & Jay

2009-11-13T14:04:00.007-05:00

Katie & Jay are my newest clients.

We met for the first time this past Wednesday

at Burnham Park in Peterborough.

Katie is just a tiny little thing and Jay is 6'4"!

They were fun and easy to photograph.

One of the best things about being so new to the Peterborough area, is that I get to see all of these lovely parks for the first time! Burnham Park was their suggestion...it is beautiful.

We went for quite the little hike during our time together...I was huffing and puffing!

I had gear to carry...yeah...let's go with that excuse!

Beautiful smiles and warm hearts!

I am looking forward to photographing your wedding next October!

It was so great to meet and spend time with you both.

Thank you.

Jeff&Julia

2009-11-10T11:42:00.017-05:00

Jeff and Julia are not just clients...they are friends.

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of photographing their beautiful little family.

Their little boy is such a joy. All smiles all the time!

I could just eat him up!

I couldn't stop clicking the shutter...he's just so cute!
And funny, funny funny!

I was piling leaves on my head to make him laugh...it worked for mom and dad too.

It was fun.

We shot at Port Weller beach in St.Catharines. It's one of my favorite spots.

You get both the beach and the park setting.

He LOVED this...wee!

Big smiles...

...and more smiles!

Aren't they adorable?
I love them!

This last shot was Julia's idea. I think it turned out well.

Thank you so much for asking me to photograph your family again.

Bambi Cantrell comes to Canada!

2009-11-03T12:11:00.008-05:00

I am huge fan of Bambi Cantrell! I have been for many years. When I heard

she was coming to do a workshop in Burlington...I knew I had to attend.
What a day it was. I enjoyed every single minute and learned so much...in just one day!

American Photo magazine names her as one of the best "10 wedding photographers in the world."

I like this shot...Bambi and her little ducks. We all just followed her lead.

She has SO much energy.

Our little model Laura...adorable! Poor girl...there was one model for all ten of us to share.
I felt like the paparazzi!

We had fun playing with different light.

The whole shoot was with available light only.

Laura was a good sport...she did whatever we asked. "Sure" was her answer to everyone of us!

Dragging the shutter! I love the feel of this one. A bride rushing to the ceremony maybe?

This was one of my favorites. Bambi's idea....of course!

The master at work. She was amazing to watch...very funny too.

She really is so talented.

Thanks Bambi for coming to Canada!

Becky & Ryan

2009-10-24T09:40:00.029-04:00

Becky and Ryan were married on October 10, 2009 in St.Catharines.
Decew Falls was the choice for portraits...a great choice I think.
They are a gorgeous couple, inside and out.

Oh...did I mention that this is another Kegger wedding? I worked with Ryan, his brother Tyler and sister Kayla at the Keg...love (and miss) those Keggers!

Ryan was a nervous groom, but he was okay once everything got started. This was quiet moment with his best man and brother Tyler.

They had a full mass at St.Patrick's church.

Ryan and Becky are so fortunate to have such wonderful supportive families. I truly think their parents were just as excited on this day as the bride and groom.

Monica and Becky...mother and daughter. This was the first time I had met Becky's parents. Becky is a very kind, quiet, sweet and gentle girl. I now know where she gets these traits from. Her parents are lovely.

Ryan's mom Cathy is absolutely in love with her children. She came to me just as were about to finish shooting portraits and asked "can I have a photo all by myself with Ryan?"
She is a sweet lady...it's easy to see how close their entire family is.

Becky is a beautiful girl...everyday and as a bride.
This shawl was very special...it belonged to her grandmother. It came in handy on that Saturday, as it was a little chilly. It was an after thought to take some photos with her wearing it. I am so glad we did.

I have to admit Ryan...I've always thought that you are one handsome guy. I am sure your mom and wife agree!

Sisterhood....Ryan's sister and Becky's three sisters...very nice.

The boys....what more can I say?

Once in a while, I'll ask the groom to dip his bride. I usually have to guide them through it and often the bride gets a little bit nervous..."don't drop me" is what I hear.
It's always a fun shot...the mill in the background pulls this shot together.

When I sent them over to the bench to snuggle, I didn't realize how great the shot would be!
I just love reflection...I could have kept shooting this all day long!

Ryan and Becky, thank you so very much for choosing Parkes Images to photograph your special day.

It was a great great day!

Shelley & Jeff-September 12, 2009

2009-10-21T10:52:00.013-04:00

Shelley & Jeff were married in Havelock on September 12, 2009.Shelley is a very special lady. She cherishes her friends and family and this was obvious throughout the day.
The girls were a lot of fun. I couldn't help but giggle as I watched them get ready for the days festivities!

All of the portraits were shot right in Shelley's parents backyard in Trent River. Her dad worked VERY hard to make sure everything was just right. He was still trimming about 45 minutes before the ceremony.

In this shot, the wedding party was trying to make Shelley laugh. She was trying very hard not to burst out in laughter.

I love this shot. It's one I do at almost all of my weddings. I call it "Flowers in Focus"

They were easy to shoot and I didn't have to guide them too much at all.
They just did their thing.

Watching Shelley and Jeff together was a great...they are friends as well as husband and wife. They treat each other kindly...so nice to see!

Family is very important to this couple. During the consultation, they mentioned that they wanted more family photos than anything else. I think everyone got a shot with the bride and groom! Below are the couple's parents.

Ah....the boys....what a crew! Three guys that are truly great friends. They love to poke fun at each other, laugh at each other and four-wheel as often as they possibly can..

My final shot of our time together.
Time to enjoy the rest of the day!

Cheers!

Shelley sent me a lovely email afterwards thanking me. However, it is I who would like to thank you for allowing me to photograph this special occasion.

Matt & Kendra-August 29, 2009

2009-09-30T14:17:00.000-04:00

Matt and Kendra were married in Fenelon Falls on August 29, 2009. Portraits were shot at her family farm.

Matt's family brought the John Deere tractor to Kendra's parents farm specifically for portraits....fun!

The girls loved shooting this one! How cute are they?

A fine looking crew indeed.

These shots were the final ones of the day...I LOVE them!

Congratulations Matt and Kendra...may you live a long, happy and healthy life together.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your day.

Mandy & Garrett-August 22, 2009-Westwind Inn, Buckhorn

2009-09-24T14:15:00.000-04:00

Mandy and Garrett were married on August 22, 2009 at Westwind Inn in Buckhorn.

The ceremony was held right on the beach.

Both were a little camera shy...but they did well.

A beautiful, fun couple.

They leave tomorrow for a Mediterranean cruise followed by diving in the Red Sea!

Have fun!

Tiffani & Julius-August 8, 2009

2009-08-26T17:09:00.000-04:00

Tiffani and Julius were married in the village of Jordan, Ontario.
This was the same setting for their engagement photos back in January.

The ceremony was held at the chapel in Balls Falls.

A fun couple with so much love for each other.

I truly enjoyed spending the entire day with their friends and family.

You can't ask for a more picturesque setting than Balls Falls.

Cave Springs served their very own sparkling wine to guests before dinner.

One of the bridesmaids made over 100 of these very cute origami butterflies. They were scattered everywhere!

Surrounded by their family, friends and much love, it was a wonderful day.

Thank you both.

Becky & Josh-July 11, 2009

2009-07-27T12:02:00.001-04:00

Becky and Josh were married in Virgil on July 11, 2009.

Becky is such a kind hearted girl. I have really enjoyed getting to know her and the rest of the family.

The flower girl was such a good little girl. So sweet.

A fantastic group of people to work with. A lot of fun!

We shot at Queenston Heights Park.

One of my favourites!

The reception was held right in Becky's parents backyard next to the vineyard.

Becky had smiles on all day long!

In the vineyard in Becky's parents front yard.

Thank you all for letting me be there.

Ryan & Becky-July 17, 2009

2009-07-20T16:11:00.000-04:00

Ryan and Becky are an adorable couple! I enjoyed watching the two of them together...they make each other laugh.

Mother Nature really played with us on this day. We had cancelled the shoot and the last minute decided to risk it.

The gamble paid off! The rain cleared the beach in Port Dalhousie and we had it all to ourselves!

They were easy to photograph. I think they almost forgot I was there.

As the sun started to set...I got more excited! The light was gorgeous! They were good sports. Thanks for putting up with me :)

Did I mention that Ryan is a Kegger? Well...a former Kegger. Love those Keggers!

A beautiful sunset to end our session. I am looking forward to your wedding day in October.

Thank you Ryan and Becky.

Erin & Bob

2009-07-13T17:57:00.001-04:00

Erin and I worked together long ago at MT Bellies in Welland Ontario.

What a treat is was to spend some time with her family in Port Dalhousie so many years later.

This little one has energy!

Both boys were so good.

This was his favorite part of the whole shoot...mine too!

Fun in the sand...and Erin says she doesn't like to get dirty!

Like I said.....lots of energy!

A very sweet family. I truly enjoyed every moment of our time together. Thank you so much Erin and Bob.

Allison & Laine-June 27, 2009

2009-07-04T13:01:00.000-04:00

Allison and Laine were married at the Prince of Wales Hotel in the beautiful village of Niagara-on-the Lake.

The hand ceremony.

The famous gazebo in Queen's Royal Park. (Originally built for a Stephen King movie).

There were hundreds of people at this park when we shot...everyone out for a picnic on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. All were kind enough to vacate the gazebo so we could do portraits.

A beautiful glowing bride!

Her four nieces served as her flower girls. Sooooo cute!

One of my favorite shots from the entire day.

Thank you Allison and Laine for choosing Parkes Images Photography.

Melony & Reuben

2009-06-16T14:14:00.000-04:00

Melony and Reuben were married in St.Catharines on May 30, 2009.

They both work at the Keg Steakhouse in St.Catharines and this is where they met.

I worked along side them both and was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their wedding.

Keg weddings have been good to Parkes Images. Mel and Reuben were Keg wedding number four! There is number five coming October!
Keep them coming Keggers!

It's always nice to have a few quiet moments together during a busy wedding day.

This little girl is Melony's niece and she was amazing!

Looking fine Reuben!

This wedding party kept me on my toes...especially the boys!

Melony was a truly stunning bride.

A gorgeous couple...not only on their wedding day...but everyday.

One thing I noticed about Melony was that every time she looked at Reuben, her eyes sparkled. She LOVES her Superman!

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of a wonderful day.

I had a great time!

2009-06-08T20:55:00.000-04:00

Congratulations to you both.

Call me when she/he is born!

Emma & Lionel

2009-05-26T14:00:00.000-04:00

Emma and Lionel.

What can I say?
Such a sweet happy couple.

The gown.
Emma did not stop smiling all day long. A bit of rain was not going to bring her down.

The kiss.

Gorgeous.
The bridal party was standng behind me while I shot this...they were loving it!

What a crew! We had fun.

We shot in Curve Lake, a very special place for Emma, Lionel and their families.

It was a great great day!

Thank you so much for having me.

Baby Carsynn

2009-03-10T15:15:00.000-04:00

Baby Carsynn...what a precious boy!

Babies are always fun to photograph. Always cute no matter what they do and Carsynn was no exception.
Mommy's boy.

We wore him out.

Did I mention that mom is a Habs fan and dad is Leafs fan? Good luck with that one Carysnn!

Thanks for being such a great little model Carsynn!

Thank you Andrew and Kendra. All the best to you both.

I look forward to you wedding August.

Cheers!

2008-11-20T16:33:00.000-05:00

Candace and Ryan added many personal touches to their wedding. It was gorgeous. The candy was a particularly nice touch!
How cute are they!

I always have fun shooting weddings...but we really did have a great time.

Like I said...it was fun!

Stunning colours, wonderful people and lots of love. It made the day perfect!

Thank you both for allowing me to be a part of your day.

2008-11-07T10:40:00.001-05:00

A truly lovely couple.

Finished off with a carriage ride through the village.

Thanks for choosing Parkes Images!

Even Tanna was a good sport!

You have a beautiful home! Thanks for having me.

Melony and Reuben

2008-10-07T10:55:00.000-04:00

Melony and Reuben suggested Port Dalhousie for their engagement portraits. Good idea!

It was a bit chilly but they didn't complain once...even when I made them sit on the wet, cold ground and get dirty.

Definitely a gorgeous couple!

We had fun!

See you in May 2009!

Thanks Mel and Reuben!

Kendra and Andrew

Kendra, Andrew and I met at Jackson Park on Sept 18 to shoot their engagement portraits. It was the day before my 10th wedding anniversary and the exact same location where our wedding photos were shot. Neat!

What an adorable, fun couple! I look forward to their winter wedding in February!

Thanks so much Kendra and Andrew.

Billi Joe is one of my favorite Keggers! She was an absolutely gorgeous bride. Dave and Billi Joe are a truly wonderful couple and it was both a pleasure and an honour to be a part of their wedding day. Thank you so much for having me.

Baby Jaden and his parents Justin and Sara were lots of fun!
After shooting some photos at their home, we went to Fifty Point Conservation Area in Stoney Creek.
It was all about Jaden! We followed his lead and he did a great job. You too mommy and daddy.
A wonderful little family indeed!
Thanks so much for having me!

This beautiful guy was in our backyard yesterday. What a treat to witness him! I was lucky enough to get my camera out in time.

This is Gerald's birthday present to himself. I just had to take a quick shot of it. It looks so peaceful.
