We had an awesome time snapping some shots as we roamed around a few city blocks worth of green space and historic buildings – even found a (mostly clean) abandon chair! (See below)

I’m so excited for the wedding, you two are so much fun!

He ate a giraffe for a little while, and I took some more photos.

We took a lot of pictures in the 30 minutes we were together. He ate some grass, ate some plastic, and attempted to eat his hand. All and all, a successful mission.

We did the usual stroll around town, and got a ton of AMAZING shots. Some of my favorite shots ever, actually.

Here’s 5 of them for now – you’ll see more on my site in the near future

^ Spiderman.

^ Zoolander

So yes, as you can see..they’re a ton of fun. They like to high five.

Lindsay and Justin are so full of life – there’s just a certain energy about them.

The day started out with Kate doing makeup and hair with the girls. I hung out with the guys, ate pizza, and talked about the legitimacy of a tanning bed tan. Is it a real, or fake tan? I feel that it’s real, because it is UV light tanning your skin – so physically it’s real, just brought on by fake means.
A spray tan on the other hand…

Anyways, from their respective houses, everyone made their way to Lakeside Church in Guelph for the ceremony, where the main foyer had been converted into a beautiful sky-lit, fashion show-esq alter. In the middle of the sea of people was a stage – a 360 viewing stage at that. Well, the musicians stood behind Lindsay’s father, who was officiating the ceremony, parents and immediate family out front, and guests to the left and right. Nervous?

After the Ceremony we headed out to Riverside Park in Guelph for some photographs. The rain mostly held off, and we got a lot of great photographs.

Onto Guelph Place, where things would eventually wrap up to Jimmy Eat World – 23 as the last dance. This is also, arguably my second favorite song of all time – Next to Brand New – Seventy Times Seven. What? I like it. It holds special meaning…or something.

Anyways, here are a few selected favorites, as well as a slideshow of their day:

That’s all for now.

The story didn’t actually start here, this was just my favorite. It was taken on the back step of a Cantonese place in uptown..that bag to the left is full of eaten lobster claws. We were all a little awkward/jumpy around these shells..I’m unsure why.

Train tracks near Victoria Street. We stopped to snag some shots on the train cars, but I liked this the best.

Back to the Cantonese place.

Cliche orange wall.

Opposite the orange wall.

Alleyway behind the Vault.

Sketchy building.

In the parking lot of Home Hardware…what?  The lighting was awesome.

Yesterday evening I headed over there for a fun little fashion shoot with Kate (the girlfriend) and Katie (featured on a Vegemite post a few below this)
Christine from Pure Potential Weddings (wedding planning/coordination) stopped by, as well Anne from The KW Wedding Ring.
Barb, the owner of Ladybug was there to help us pull dresses, and my friend Marshall Angus also came to help out.
It was a full house. Anne and Christine even tried on wedding dresses for the camera!

Here’s a few of the images:

Fun little behind the scenes shot if you’re wondering how we did it. Grey paper roll, taped to the fall outside of the fitting rooms at Ladybug.

I’ll post a link to the Ladybug website when it comes online. It’s in the works, and with these photos, it should be just about ready to go.

Oh, Sunday was Baby Ben’s first birthday. He ate some cake.

*Alright, so we had scoped out a beautiful red swing that Marilyn was going to sit on, and Dan would push her. As we neared the red swing, and little kid comes flying over and jumps on the swing. He proceeds to stare at us as if we’re supposed to push him. Dan did for a short time. End of story.
