we are married!! photos by byron brydges photography

what can i say? byron and maureen of byron brydges photography are the best!!

being a wedding photographer myself, my main concern for our wedding was picking the right photographer (the only thing i did for the wedding, chantale did the rest!!). we were getting married in vegas during wppi (Wedding & Portrait Photgraphers Internation) trade show (total coinencidence). anyway i had the choice of 20,000 different wedding photographers, the best in the world were at this trade show. i wanted a photographer who i could trust and deliver some rock star images. i have admired byron's work for a long time and he has helped me get started with my own photography business and has been a great mentor. what better choice than have TEAM BRYDGES shoot our wedding in the bright lights of las vegas.

byron and maureen totally blew us away with there warm personalities, their attention to detail and professionalism. we could not have been more happier with these teaser images that are also posted on byron's blog.

thanks again byron and maureen, you guys are amazing!!

its time to get on the bandwagon!!

hello all sens fans,

its time to wake up and get a good seat on the bandwagon. i don't understand why some fans only cheer when the odds are in our favor. i know the hockey experts have us out in the first round, but we got to have some faith. show your support for your team and believe. i predict the SENS in 7!! GO SENS GO!!!!!!!
