And here she comes! Such a beautiful dress. Our bride and groom. Because it was winter and the minimal amount of light and because the ceremony was planned for the evening, obviously we did our bride and groom session before the ceremony. It worked out quite well and we had a lot of fun. Even the mummers made an appearance! At the Spirit of Newfoundland, formerly the Masonic Hall. On Gower Street. blog.low.12-17-11.D32_8365 HOLY MUMMERS! Dancing down the street they come. blog.low.12-17-11.D31_7240 The person on the right was crankin' her out on the accordian while Amanda did the best jig she could in a wedding dress. In front of the Anglican Cathedral. blog.low.12-17-11.D32_8408 blog.low.12-17-11.D31_7377 blog.low.12-17-11.D31_7343 blog.low.12-17-11.D31_7298 Ryan is strong. :-) Amanda had a case of the vapors due to Ryan's muscles. blog.low.12-17-11.D31_7402 At Quidi Vidi. After all day it was time for the ceremony. Some last minute touchups courtesy bride's maids. blog.low.12-17-11.D32_8642 The ceremony was inside Winterholme. blog.low.12-17-11.D32_8686 blog.low.12-17-11.D32_8718 blog.low.12-17-11.D32_8755 Cake and Christmas! The day after the actual wedding Ryan and Amanda held a drop-in for those who were unable to make it to the ceremony. Perhaps starting a new tradition, they simultainiously updated their facebook statuses to "Married". Of course, it would be facebook without some Liking and "thumbs-up" and naturally, a First! was declared. Wouldn't be Christmas without their first kiss as a married couple under the mistletoe. These toques were just remarkable. The owl and the beaver. That's it, congrats! ]]> http://www.colinpeddle.com/2012/ryan-amanda/feed/ 2 Tammy & Hans http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/tammy-hans/ http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/tammy-hans/#comments Thu, 24 Nov 2011 17:58:56 +0000 Colin http://www.colinpeddle.com/?p=16948 Tammy and Hans are such a wonderful couple and I had a great day with them. Being people who spend a lot of their time together outdoors with nature it only made sense to work that into the big day in any way we could, without of course, going on a 5 hour hike :-)

I hope you enjoy this set of wedding pictures as much as I do. Tammy and Hans were wonderful to hang out with for the day and their pictures are definitely some of my favorites from 2011. Enjoy! It was a beautiful sunny day for an outdoor wedding at Murray's Pond Country Club. Live music for the ceremony. Their dog, Marley, had the rings. It worked out very well... ... Till Marley was free of his job to run around. He put on a little show for everyone and then jumped in the pond. :-) And they're married! HORRAAY! blog.low.09-24-11._D317167 A huge group photo with everyone in attendance on the wharf. And then it was off to go exploring with the bride and groom. Tammy and Hans are big hikers so it was important to work nature into their photos. Tammy even bought brand new hiking boots for the occasion. :-) blog.low.09-24-11._D317331 blog.low.09-24-11._D317339 One of my favorites from the day. It truly needs to be seen larger to appreciate so give it a click if you're curious. blog.low.09-24-11._D317407 Another one of my favorites from the day. I just love the simplicity of this one. blog.low.09-24-11._D317447 blog.low.09-24-11._D317572 Our last stop before heading back to the reception was Conception Bay.

Quite a good looking chap if you ask me. Here's Jon climbing a boat, risking life and limb to get the shot on the right. Completely worth it if you ask me. :-) And here is lovely Dana. No boat climbing for her! The ceremony was great, a very nice church. The rings! Oh and Jon decided to sing. This was a surprise to everyone, Dana especially. Very touching. Bravo Jon, bravo. blog.low.08-19-11._D310372 Time to go!

Thanks Colin! These are great – we have had a few laughs about Al as dancing machine. Thank you so much! You are right – the pictures make me remember more.

Father and daughter down the ailse. Kicking off the excellent outdoor wedding. Andrea & James during their vows. Annnd we're married! Horraaaay!!!! :-) Hanging out together and I just love this picture of Andrea in the mid-afternoon sunlight. Making out at Topsail Beach. wedding.low.08-13-11._D318143 wedding.low.08-13-11._D318197 We all got a little bit wet so off with the shoes. This is one of my favorites from the day. Down by the trains, you know, the things newlyweds do :-) wedding.low.08-13-11._D318431 wedding.low.08-13-11._D318502 The rings and bridal party. Before the wedding I wanted to shoot something that would make Andrea laugh when she saw it. So, here's this. But then when she saw "it" there was no laughing. Except for James. wedding.low.08-13-11._D318654 A trip down Gower Street. wedding.low.08-13-11._D318762 Another of my favorites from the day. wedding.low.08-13-11._D318983 Stunning! wedding.low.08-13-11._D319169 wedding.low.08-13-11._D319151 wedding.low.08-13-11._D319468 wedding.low.08-13-11._D319548 wedding.low.08-13-11._D319755 I cannot remember why, something to do with the kilt I think, but James decided to put the garter on. Andrea did the traditional "take the garter off the groom". I enjoy the fact that James kept his hand on the kilt. I really, really appreciated that. And pickin' apples! ]]> http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/james-andrea/feed/ 4 Mark & Kara http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/mark-kara/ http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/mark-kara/#comments Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:21:24 +0000 Colin http://www.colinpeddle.com/?p=16683 Folks, what you’re about to see is a day in August which will likely never be forgotten. To set the scene, it was one of those lovely days in Newfoundland. The wind was howling and the rain was sideways but it was the big day, rain or shine. Despite the weather, everyone was in very good spirits and we made the best of a bad situation.

And then the pants came off. :-) Keep scrolling to see what I’m talking about!

Time to get ready! blog.low.08-06-11._D312462 Our stunning bride, Kara. blog.low.08-06-11._D312676 blog.low.08-06-11._D312687 Our couple dodged the falling rain just long enough to get this picture on George Street. You can see the falling rain in the background even. blog.low.08-06-11._D312763 blog.low.08-06-11._D312833 Mark claims this is the exact look he gave Kara the night they met. How could she resist! :-) blog.low.08-06-11._D312871 blog.low.08-06-11._D312925 blog.low.08-06-11._D313050-Edit blog.low.08-06-11._D313197 All the girls! Gotta love the hair bags. At the Inn of Olde Kara & Mark Too funny. blog.low.08-06-11._D313398 blog.low.08-06-11._D313422 Not everyone could be there due to, you know, saving the free world and all, but their presence was felt. First dance then the real fun began. Yep, that's Screech and pizza. A few of the boys were getting Screeched in. Having some trouble with the oil skins. Bologna, just a light snack before the screech. All smiles right now and tasty I'm sure, but sadly boys it only gets worse from here. Smiles no more. Now it's capelin that you must eat. Yum! Yeah. Not sitting well is it. Yay Newfoundland. Hah And here comes the screech. Some for everyone. And a little for the help. This is their expression after downing the Screech. It was gold. They were all on the brink of heaving. Mark removing the garter. The boots were excellent. What Mark found underneath was a duck call! QUACK-QUACK. Honestly, folks, I have no idea either, but it was pretty darn funny. wedding.low.08-07-11._D314199 And then it kicked off. No more commentary required. Just enjoy. blog.low.08-07-11._D314532 blog.low.08-07-11._D314503 blog.low.08-07-11._D314538 And last but not least. Good times had by all. blog.low.08-07-11._D314554 This one is just cute and makes me laugh. ]]> http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/mark-kara/feed/ 2 Rebecca & Liam http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/rebecca-liam/ http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/rebecca-liam/#comments Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:25:22 +0000 Colin http://www.colinpeddle.com/?p=16523 Congrats to my fabulous friends Rebecca and Liam. Two of the coolest people I’ve had the pleasure of wedding-photoging this summer. Before the big moment Liam and the boys got some lunch time snacks. The beautiful bride's maids about to walk down the aisle. Speechless? Our lovely bride! Overlooking the entire church. reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310291 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310293 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310341 The classic Buick Dynaflow for the bride and groom. Cheers! reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310434 Let's just say Liam felt quite uplifted after the wedding ceremony. Whereas Rebecca had a cold one with the gals. Just for fun. :-) reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310731 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310741 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310772 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310794 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310816 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310923-Edit reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310932 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D310954 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D311032-Edit reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D311067 reb-liam.low.08-05-11._D311091-Edit To have the bride and groom kiss they were taking donations for charity.

Though I shot a lot of photos of just the bride and groom during their first dance, this one, including a lot of friends and family in the moment, was my favorite. Annnnnnnnd party time!

What a great set of pictures if I do say so myself. Congratulations you guys!

The happy couple before the ceremony. Don't they look great? I photographed the boys first. They all play a lot of hockey together and Brad had the great idea of playing a bit of stick once they were all dressed up. It was funny to see and also a neat way to cut the nerves. brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC7964 Meanwhile over at the Bride's they had the same idea and were plaing Wii. Weee! Inside St. Teresa's Church brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC8282 A massive group photo of everyone there. I love doing these. It's a great way to get a snap of everyone in attendance. After some family formals at the park it was time for our bride and groom session. First we shot something here in the park. Off to our first destination, Cape Spear. Though it had been sunny in town it was foggy in Cape Spear and it had also rained some, leaving some rather deep puddles. brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC8637-Edit brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC8653 On the gigantic cannon! brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC8711 untitled.low.07-16-11._DSC8757 brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC8796-Edit Go on then Brad, it's your wedding day. brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC8834 brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC8857 brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC8929 There were several tour buses letting lots of people off. All of whom were watching the ongoings. brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC8965 Back to the top of the hill. I love these photos. So awesome. brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC9088 brad-chris.low.07-16-11._DSC9108 After a couple stops for family photo sessions, it was reception time! The bride and groom's first dance. Bubbles! We took a few moments after dinner to shoot some in the setting sunlight. The boys from Central Ladder were hanging around and obliged for a photo op. Not 10 minutes later they were rolling out to a fire. Thanks for the photo and for you know, saving lives. Just the bride, hanging out on a firetruck... the usual. Last but not least we set up a long exposure shot. One of my all time favorites. ]]> http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/brad-christine/feed/ 6 Tim & Elizabeth http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/tim-elizabeth/ http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/tim-elizabeth/#comments Fri, 02 Sep 2011 21:31:51 +0000 Colin http://www.colinpeddle.com/?p=15135 This week it's Elizabeth and Tim. Two of the happiest people I've ever met. blog-timeliza0731_DSC0907 blog-timeliza0731_DSC0921 Rush, rush, rush. With rain in the sky and time quickly ticking away it was time to get a move on for the girls. The boys, meanwhile, were still making time to be classy individuals. Ceremony time. Tim looks all choked up because he is and who wouldn't be. Elizabeth looks stunning! blog-timeliza0731_DSC1141 blog-timeliza0731_DSC1175 A quick candid and a snap outside the church at the request of the bride and groom. Our first stop of the day was Kent. Backstory: The bride and groom worked and met (and fell in love) at Kent. So obviously, we're going to Kent for pictures! blog-timeliza0731_DSC1470 Tim worked in the yard so the boys dressed him up in his old had and hi-vi vest. Smoochin' on cash 2 After Kent and inbetween the rain drops we ducked downtown on our way to Quidi Vidi. blog-timeliza0731_DSC1612 blog-timeliza0731_DSC1626 blog-timeliza0731_DSC1678 Elizabeth is a huge fan of "Republic of Doyle" and wouldn'tyaknowit, but there is the main man himself filming right next to where were doing pictures. Read all about this encounter in my MisterPhotographer blog by clicking the link on the right. At last! Quidi Vidi. This shot overlooking the gut. The lovely bride and groom gazing into each others eyes. blog-timeliza0731_DSC1801 blog-timeliza0731_DSC1840 On the left are the boys looking lewd, well at least trying to. Jump. I know the whole "get-the-bridal-party-to-jump" thing is a bit long in the tooth but sometimes you just have to test their abilities. And the reception and what a time was had. Cutting of the cake. First dance! Horray! And then things got a little silly, didn't they. blog-timeliza0731_DSC2490 Silly. This was Tim, saving a horse. (save a horse, ride a cowboy) It reads "HOT 4 TEACHER" (elizabeth is a teacher). Tim works offshore, hence the attire here. T.Slice is his nickname. There was a funny moment when Tim popped up from beneath Elizabeth's dress, with a strange look on his face, wondering where the garter was. He couldn't find it. Then the shots happened. Like father, like son. Finally, after all of that commotion it was relaxin' time for the bride and groom. ]]> http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/tim-elizabeth/feed/ 1 Sarina & Scott http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/wedding-sarina-and-scott/ http://www.colinpeddle.com/2011/wedding-sarina-and-scott/#comments Thu, 04 Aug 2011 20:10:01 +0000 Colin http://www.colinpeddle.com/?p=10604 This was a very cool wedding, involving a traditional Indian Saree dress then a change to a white wedding dress. It was quite the special day it was and I was ever so happy to be a part of it.

Having Fun - Jumping for joy on the left and on the right I'm making them run for the heck of it.

The saree flows in the wind just outside the church. Umbrellas on hand as it was one of those traditional days in Newfoundland.

On to the white wedding dress and to the reveal (right).

Cheers! and a fresh take on the "Newlywed Shoe Game", so funny!

First dance for the bride and groom. Congrats!

Having a time on the left and the garter on the right.

And of course, it's not a wedding till the dice is thrown.

Finally the hula hoop makes an appearance. So much fun!
