Sarah and Helene: A Mile End Engagement Session

These girls are awesome roller derby loving chicks. I have actually seen Sarah at some roller derby events without knowing it. She is serious when it comes to her games but outside of the arena, Sarah is a jokester, always pulling faces and making hilarious suggestions. I actually remember her finding random masks during our walk and bringing them along for photos. Helene is super cool and calm, I guess you would have to be around Sarah the prankster.

The girls had their very first date in the Mile End, so this area means a lot to them. With the Arena near by they spend a lot of time there. During our shoot, we made it our business to stop by Tammy's flower shop. Last year Tammy's shop had a devastating fire and the locals all pitched in and helped her rebuild in every way they could. Her shop is iconic on Rue Bernard with bird cages and flowers hanging from every inch of space.

These girls are tying the knot at the fabulous Fiddler Lake resort at the end of August. I cannot wait for it. It is going to be an amazing location with two beautiful girls. It could not be more perfect if we tried.

Sarah and Lindsay's Wedding

Sarah and Lindsay got married on May 24th at the Jamaican Pavillion on Park Jean Drapeau. For those of you who love F1, we had to drive on the circuit to get to the venue, pretty cool!! We had been on weather watch all day and unfortunately minutes before the ceremony it started to pour. We held our breath and just hoped it would clear off. It did!!! Sarah and Lindsay remained so calm during this time, it was very impressive. Their ceremony took place in a beautiful spot, right under a willow tree while family and friends watched as they read their vows to one another. Lindsay's dad officiated the wedding, Jesse who was also a bridesmaid, sang their entrance song and Lindsay's little sister did a reading. Someone special by the name of Pnut, sadly couldnt make the ceremony but was happily watching from home wearing the perfect bow tie for the occasion. Sarah was wearing a beautiful short white dress and turquoise shoes while Lindsay had a fabulous suit tailored for the special day. Both brides looked absolutely stunning. Their faces were never short of a smile for each other and you could feel the love through out the day.

The ceremony was followed by lawn games and cocktail hour. As people made their way inside for dinner, everyone noticed how much work the brides put into their day. Every place setting was personalized by the girls, with some fun mad libs to do. The centre pieces were flowers made out of maps and candles with mason jars flooded the venue. They also had a fun gifts table with some bunting made also from maps, suitcases for cards and old expo 67 paraphernalia including Grandma Hogan's expo entry passport. Dinner began with some speeches and then the taco station opened up.

The brides had a first dance that involved everyone and instead of cake they had a table full of assorted delicious donuts. Grandma kicked off the photo booth and rumour has it she may have won the air guitar contest as well. She might be the coolest grandma ever.

Sarah and Lindsay, congratulations again and thank you so much for choosing us to be part of your special day.
