WINNIPEG's WETTEST DAY EVER!

Saturday I shot Andrea & Paul's wedding. (sorry I got behind in my blogging) The rain started on Friday, and it just didn't want to stop. Over the weekend Winnipeg broke records for the amount of rainfall we received. This couple didn't let that get them down. We started off the Pictures @ the Red River College, Princess Campus Downtown, a great spot to get some dry images. Then we headed to the Exchange District, to a coverage garage/parking area that was completely covered to give us that downtown look we wanted. Then we headed out to the beautiful Fort Whyte Center. Which I must admit I have not been too since grade school. I forgot what a gorgeous place it was. This being my first wedding I have shot @ Fort Whyte, I was amazing by the beautiful surroundings and all the wonderful places to take pictures. However, due to the rain we were very limited. The grounds were soaked, and the rain drops lightly fell. We didn't want to get to far away, and as we were shooting the drops got a little bigger.. We all knew this probably wasn't a good thing, so decided to head back. We began to run and thank goodness. Just as we got inside, it poured..... This bride and groom wanted their outdoor ceremony, and they got it. JUST IN TIME..... During the ceremony the sky went dark a few times, the wind blew hard, and the people sat on the edge of their chairs, just in case they had to run for cover. Ok, maybe not that dramatic but it was risky...... I loved that they risked the rain to have the ceremony they planned... After the ceremony when all the guests made it safely inside, the sky opened up and down came the rain.. We could hardly see where we had just sat! Unbelievable. I told Andrea & Paul they have to be the luckiest people I have ever met. They got the day they wanted, some great photos, and now are on their way to a wonderful life together.

I would like to Thank The Maggie Group, for another Wonderful Recommendation! I appreciate all your kind words, when you pass on my name, show off your pictures, and send your friends and family my way! Looking forward to this Summers "Maggie Group" weddings.

For everyone wondering what this maggie group is that I speak of. Well I will try and be brief. 2 Summers ago I shot the wedding of Bonnie & Adam. A groomsmen by the name of Chris couldn't seem to remember my name, or so he said. So that day he changed my name to Maggie, as the weddings of this group have continued our little joke is they call me Maggie, and now I even answer to it! LOL.. I did tell Chris the groomsmen that when he gets married, I gonna have to charge him double for all the confusion! LOL. I have received emails that say HI MAGGIE, right from start and I know where the referral came from.

Thanks again to all of you! You too Chris, you are the creator of the group!
