Erin & Bob

Erin and I worked together long ago at MT Bellies in Welland Ontario.

What a treat is was to spend some time with her family in Port Dalhousie so many years later.

This little one has energy!

Both boys were so good.











This was his favorite part of the whole shoot...mine too!





Fun in the sand...and Erin says she doesn't like to get dirty!






Like I said.....lots of energy!







A very sweet family. I truly enjoyed every moment of our time together. Thank you so much Erin and Bob.

Allison & Laine-June 27, 2009

Allison and Laine were married at the Prince of Wales Hotel in the beautiful village of Niagara-on-the Lake.
The hand ceremony.


The famous gazebo in Queen's Royal Park. (Originally built for a Stephen King movie).
There were hundreds of people at this park when we shot...everyone out for a picnic on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. All were kind enough to vacate the gazebo so we could do portraits.







A beautiful glowing bride!
















Her four nieces served as her flower girls. Sooooo cute!








One of my favorite shots from the entire day.






Thank you Allison and Laine for choosing Parkes Images Photography.

Melony & Reuben

Melony and Reuben were married in St.Catharines on May 30, 2009.



They both work at the Keg Steakhouse in St.Catharines and this is where they met.


I worked along side them both and was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their wedding.


Keg weddings have been good to Parkes Images. Mel and Reuben were Keg wedding number four! There is number five coming October!
Keep them coming Keggers!











It's always nice to have a few quiet moments together during a busy wedding day.


This little girl is Melony's niece and she was amazing!





Looking fine Reuben!






This wedding party kept me on my toes...especially the boys!







Melony was a truly stunning bride.








A gorgeous couple...not only on their wedding day...but everyday.










One thing I noticed about Melony was that every time she looked at Reuben, her eyes sparkled. She LOVES her Superman!







Thank you for allowing me to be a part of a wonderful day.

I had a great time!

Emma & Lionel


Emma and Lionel.
What can I say?
Such a sweet happy couple.

The gown.
Emma did not stop smiling all day long. A bit of rain was not going to bring her down.


The kiss.




Gorgeous.
The bridal party was standng behind me while I shot this...they were loving it!




What a crew! We had fun.






We shot in Curve Lake, a very special place for Emma, Lionel and their families.







It was a great great day!
Thank you so much for having me.

Baby Carsynn


Baby Carsynn...what a precious boy!
Babies are always fun to photograph. Always cute no matter what they do and Carsynn was no exception.
Mommy's boy.






We wore him out.







Did I mention that mom is a Habs fan and dad is Leafs fan? Good luck with that one Carysnn!
Thanks for being such a great little model Carsynn!



Kendra and Andrew


Kendra and Andrew were married on February 7, 2009.
The setting for my first wedding of 2009 was beautiful.







An adorable couple for sure.




We had fun...a great bunch!



We did manage to sneak a few quiet moments to get some very sweet portraits.







Thank you Andrew and Kendra. All the best to you both.
