a night of luxury

Tuesday, October 2, 2007


hello all,

after shooting krista + mike's wedding on friday (slideshow to be posted thursday night) i surprised chantale with a little getaway to mt. tremblant. saturday morning we woke up early and took the 2 hour scenic drive. we had reservations at fairmont trembant which i must say is well worth the money. the service is unbelievable, you are taken care of as soon as you pull the car into the valet.

after we settled in to our room we took the gondola up to the summit to take in the view and hike around a little.. as usual the winds were howling and we were not properly dressed so we took a few quick snaps and headed back down to relax pool side. the fairmont has awesome pools and hot tubs, we pretty much spent the whole afternoon relaxing and enjoying the luxury of the 5 star hotel.

after our soak we relaxed in our room before heading out to dinner at the windigo restaurant that is inside the fairmont. the food was amazing, a crazy surf & turf buffet with lobster, scallops, shrimps...and some great wine and cheese.

after 10 saturdays straight of shooting weddings it was nice to spend some nice quiet time with chantale, we had a blast and i think its important to take some time for yourself and spend it with your loved ones. sometimes we get too involved in our work and time passes us by, take a day off and spoil yourself, its well worth it!!

i didn't spend too much time shooting but here are a few shots that i did get.

life is great!!
