Sisters, even better, twins:

She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark… – Barbara Alpert

I don’t have a sister, but if I did I would hope that our relationship would be as close and warm as Alena’s & Olga’s. I can’t count the number of times the joy in Olga’s heart spilled over into tears for her sister.

p.s. Full wedding will be up on the gallery soon! Stay tuned.

So the current issue of Today’s Bride is particularly exciting for us… and although it’s only one photo, and although it’s on the smaller side we couldn’t be happier that Lindsey + Christophe have been featured in the “Real Weddings” section!

Lindsey Thomsen and Christophe Measson were married at Le Select Bistro in Toronto before 50 guests. The groom, a pastry chef, is from France, so they couldn’t resist emphasizing the French theme. An entire team brought the theme together with flowers by Stemz, makeup by Jennifer Gibeau, a Nanette Lepore dress from Holt Renfrew and suit by Strellson. Photography by Cristina and Laszlo Alt of Geminie Photography.

I realized I need to really put our work out there, even though editors may say no, even though rejection stings, I know our couples, their stories and their images are worth the risk.

Warming up this snowy January morning with a frame from a recent trash the dress in the Dominican:

The Riu Palace in Punta Cana has some gorgeous locations hidden away and I was thrilled when I found this little private jacuzzi. Open windows with ocean views, gorgeous sea shell chandeliers hanging from the tall ceiling and mirrors all around. Can’t wait to post more from this steamy TTD.

Earlier this year, we happily packed up our gear, baby girl, and enough sunscreen to shield the population of a small town, and headed to sunny Jamaica for Seanette and Jerome’s destination wedding in Ocho Rios.

The was our third time at Prospect Villas and it was like coming back to family!

The morning of the wedding was relaxed with the majority of the group enjoying the sun + beach.


The grounds at the main villa (Frankfort) are beautiful:

Jerome enjoyed some outdoor pampering by his brother John (who along with his wife Christine we had the pleasure of photographing on our first trip to Jamaica)

Seanette spent the morning getting ready in the master bedroom at Frankfort and was visited by all the kiddos throughout the day. (When they could tear themselves away from the beach that is!)

They decided on a first look before the ceremony, and we love it when our couples choose this option! It’s the perfect time to connect before the ceremony and capture some beautiful intimate portraits of just the two of you.

You both looked amazing, and so incredibly happy!

A few more favourites:

The ceremony site overlooking the ocean was perfect, and friends and family were eagerly awaiting the bride and groom.

Exchanging vows:

Their eldest daughter performed a beautiful dance piece right after the first kiss. Shana, it was a pleasure to watch you dance!

Congratulations Seanette & Jerome!!

Time to party!

Thank you to everyone for making us feel like a part of the family, we had an amazing time with you all… and can’t wait to go back again!

p.s. This is how our mini-casper spent the majority of the vacation:

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turnin’ red
Cryin’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complainin’
Because I’m free
Nothin’s worryin’ me

Maria + Alex didn’t let a tropical torrential downpour on their wedding day dampen their spirits! Sneak peek from this beautiful Dominican destination wedding coming soon!
