Chad and I photographed Bethany and Jeremy’s adorable DIY backyard wedding last year. When I received Bethany’s e-mail regarding maternity photos in my inbox – I was so excited for them!
Although it doesn’t look it from the photos (since it was quite the sunny day), it was freezing with gusts of wind. I can’t thank these two enough for being such troopers in the crazy winter cold…
I love the moment right before a kiss… Beautiful and so full of emotion.
On December 26, 2008, Chad and I took a roadtrip to Canada. I had mentioned to him (several times), that I hadn’t visited Niagara Falls since I was a young child. Since we were on winter break from college and it was only a couple hours from his hometown in western New York, we decided to take a day trip.
We arrived to a very cold and snowy Niagara Falls, Canada. Being the photo enthusiast that I was at the time, we grabbed my handy-dandy Canon Rebel XTi (this was my first DSLR), my favorite tripod, and remote shutter (that I received for Christmas from Chad’s parents… well planned, Chad) from the car so we could take some photos of ourselves in front of the Falls. Little did I know what was about to happen.
Above: Some normal photos in front of the Canadian Falls.
Below: The photo right before Chad asked me to marry him.
I was apparently under the impression that it was time for funny faces… (Yep – I have a lot of dork moments.)
Chad had made early dinner reservations at the famous revolving restaurant, Skylon Tower. Phenomenal view of the Falls.
The second photo (above) brings us to the end of 2011. Chad and I took another trip up to Niagara after the holidays.
Only this time, we were a married couple (as opposed to college kids) with a nice hotel reservation overlooking the Falls…
The next day, we hopped into our car and drove to Niagara-on-the-Lake.
On our way to Inniskillin (our hotel had suggested visiting this particular winery), we saw a sign for Ice Wine.
If you know me well, you know that I rarely drink. If I do have a drink, it’s a light [girly] cocktail or a small glass of Ice Wine.
In any case, we stumbled across a local, family-owned winery called Between The Lines and ventured over to check it out.
I loved their clever name: Between The Lines. This winery is located on Four Mile Creek Rd between Line Rd 5 and Line Rd 6.
We sampled their delicious Ice Wine and were shocked to hear that it was actually their first-ever-batch. How awesome is that?!
We also sampled their most recent creation: Ice Wine Chocolate Truffles. My definition? A sweet burst of happiness.
Thanks, Yannick, for taking the time to chat with us and let us sample your winery’s fabulous creations.
We will be sure to return the next time we’re visiting Niagara (and we’ll surely enjoy what we brought home with us)!
And, lastly, a photograph of us via self-timer. (This time, we had better gear + warmer weather.)
Happy Tuesday!
