Paula & Mike - August 23

Paula & Mike's special day took place at the White Oaks resort and the ceremony was at a Niagara Falls church. What a fun day Rick and I had shooting with this happy couple and their wedding party! Paula & Mike are very much in love and very happy and they made it very easy to photograph them... Thanks for having Rick and I be a part of your special day guys! Congratulations :)

Now for the photographs:























I love these next two moments captured by Rick






























































I love Mike's Dad (and best man) watching happily on the side

Kristine & Neal

I just wanted to share a few photos from our friends Kristine & Neal's wedding reception a couple weeks ago. We attented as guests and had an amazing time at the party. Of course I couldn't leave my camera at home! Rick and I got a few really nice images. And some really fun and drunken ones, but we'll keep those off the blog ;)

Ethan & Owen

A few weeks ago, our good friends Jenn & Kevin's dreams came true when they adopted their twin baby boys! They were about 8 days old when they brought them home and we were able to stop by for a short visit when they were about 2 weeks old. Ethan & Owen were the smallest babies I ever held (they were about 5.5 lbs at the time they are up to about 8 lbs I think which is amazing for a couple weeks!) They are identical and I hope I got their names right in these pictures LOL! They are such perfect beautiful little beings! We couldn't be happier for Jenn & Kevin. No one deserves this more than them! When we stopped by I was able to snap a few quick pics of them (when I say quick, I MEAN quick) so here they are. I will be doing their "official" session in the next couple weeks, and I CAN NOT wait! They will probably be huge by then :)

So here is Noah with Ethan (I think)

Can't wait to see them again, they are so precious!

POD - August 21

Another busy week here at Kathy DeMerchant Photography. But what's a POD without a few images of my little monkeys? So here they are with their monkey suits on :)





And then, at the end of the day, what's better then two monkeys that turn into two sleeping angels?





And why not throw the crazy dog into the mix!



Oh, wait! But I can't forget about the hubby!



That's my family!

OK so stay tuned for an announcement next week about something we have been working on and we are super excited about!

Kristin & Mark - August 8th

I am a little behind with this post but we have been super duper busy. Kristin and Mark were married a couple weeks ago at the Ancaster Old Mill. I think I am becoming a regular there! It's always great to shoot there. There was so many beautiful details at this wedding, especially the flowers were AMAZING! Kristin's grandmother is a botanist and she decorated the room and made all the flower arrangements. Everything was perfect. Here are a few of my favorite images from their afternoon ceremony.

POD & Update - August 14

Evan is 8 months old today. I can't believe how fast the time has flown and how big this boy has gotten! He is crawling everywhere, pulling up and starting to cruise and wanting to climb stairs! Let's just say he has a lot of energy and likes to keep busy :)
On another note, I have been very busy working on something new and exciting!!! I can't wait to reveal it, hopefully in a week or two! So stay tuned to this blog for more updates.
Meanwhile, take care my friends and I hope you are enjoying your summer!

POD - August 6

Lately it's been more like Photo Of the Month instead of Photo Of the Day....Ah crazy summer!

Well here is my current favourite photo of my boys!!! Love them to bits :)


And one of Noah

Weekend in Tiverton - Cousins reunion

A couple weeks ago we spent another weekend at my brother in law's house in Tiverton. This was a reunion for all the cousins (except one who was stuck in Edmonton having a baby LOL you know who you are) on Rick's Mom's side. Here are a few pics of the kiddies, dogs, sunsets, etc. It's always great to get away from the city and breathe some fresh air for a change, but I am very much a city girl and can't be away for too long :)

Jackie & Jesse - July 25

I have been slacking in the blogging department over the last few weeks so I am trying to catch up a little bit :)
Here is a few photos from Jackie & Jesse's evening ceremony from a couple weeks ago. The ceremony and reception took place at Maplewood's at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area. Such a sweet couple! Congratulations guys - Wishing you all the best :)
