Long Point in Winter

Wide awake at 4am this morning. Coffee's on, camera bag is packed, and I've got my thermals on under my jeans.

4:30am and I'm rolling down the 401 to pick up Hwy 19 to Long Point.

After a couple of stops along the way for a photo or two, it's 6:15am, and I'm at Long Point, Ontario, on the Lake Erie shoreline. It's still pitch black out and plenty cold. The wind is bitingly cold as I get my tripod out of the trunk and prepare for the trek to the shoreline.

7:05am and Mike and Randy arrive. We agree we must be Canadians... who else would be crazy enough to be out in this weather in the wee hours of the morning.

But the light is worth it...

Tim & Kim... the 'ims!

We were hoping for snow this past Saturday, as Tim and Kim were here from Australia to tie the knot and were hoping for a white wedding. Alas, the weather didn't cooperate, but we still had a blast and got some great photos! The "ims" (as I later found out they're collectively known as) were a lot of fun and a great couple to work with.

Getting Ready at Mum and Dad's House...





Kim was just a natural in front of the camera...



The Muffs were a real hit!





The Auzzie Boys...









The guys hands were getting cold, so they borrowed the ladies muffs...







Just like Vegas...

















and of course, Kimmy's pink booties :)



Here's to a long and happy marriage for the 'ims!
