Chie and Hiro Maternity

Happy Monday everyone!! Hope you all had a great weekend. I had a super productive weekend, from blogging, catching up with some of my 2011 couples as well as getting ready to start the wedding season off! It’s going to be an awesome year. With that, I would like to share some images from a shoot last month of some good friends Chie and Hiro.

They both moved to Canada shortly after they got married as Hiro was transfered from Toyota Japan to Toyota Canada. Chie keeps busy as hair stylist who has worked with Lucy from time to time. We quickly became friends through our love of Japan and food. It is with them that Lucy and I get to brush up on our Japanese (more Lucy than me) and reminisce about Japan every time we meet.

When we learned that Chie was pregnant, we were ecstatic. When asked to do a maternity shoot, we were honored! With that said, this Lucy and I did a little role reversal on this shoot. I played second shooter and voice activated light stand while she lead the shoot. I have to say, she lead the shoot with confidence and fresh ideas which makes me so proud of how much Lucy’s photography has developed.

Here are some the photos I took.I know I posted these already but the effect is so different when you seem the images individually.

Sunny Turks and Caicos = Michelle and Jonathan’s Wedding!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!  You have undoubtedly seen my initial Turks and Caicos posts (Part 1Part 2) back in November.

The day was here, Jonathan and Michelle’s beautiful wedding in the beautiful Turks and Caicos! Contrary to what meteorologists were saying about being on alert for a hurricane, the sun was beaming and there was not a storm cloud in sight. Joee and I started our coverage in Michelle’s MASSIVE suite where we shot a mock episode of MTV cribs!

With some good tunes on the radio, Michelle was getting her hair and make up done. She joked that things were just so much easier for guys. I have to concur =).

On the other side of the resort, Jonathan was getting ready at the spa and yes, things were indeed easier. Jonathan was done in record breaking time and to that, we had some time for some portraits before the much anticipated reveal.

As Jonathan waited for Michelle at the lobby of the Regent Palms Resort, he was going through his giving his vows a last look while recounting his story to me about how they met and got together.

Shortly after, Michelle arrived looking as beautiful as can be. The way they were looking at each other was simply amazing, you could just tell they had a deep connection and were meant to be together.

Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Hope you guys enjoyed the photos. Thanks again Joee for inviting me to help you out on this amazing wedding.
