prettiness defined

erin & jonathan's dreamy country wedding featured on Style Me Pretty today.  

bathtime outdoors

this sweet little guy is my son emerson.  last summer we kept with tradition and gave emmie a bath on the cottage deck... in the little green basin all the grandchildren in the wood family have used over the years.

(in the very last frame you see emmie looking at a photo of his big sister in the tub when she was little)

the images are double exposures on kodak portra film shot on my uncles old minolta x700.  the images that bleed through are from my dad's property in guelph... where i grew up.

winter at the manor

just a small collection of moments from a recent winter wedding...  a blustery, sun-filled day in january.  the backdrop for bronwyn & mike's grounded & beautiful wedding was the stunning graydon hall manor.   i cherish small, intimate weddings for their sincere and honest nature.  it is a beautiful thing to watch those normally guarded walls come open for one night... emotion on our skin... tears, laughter... what love is made of.
