iona + jay = wedding in da GOOSE!!

hello all,

for those of you who do not know, i grew up in a town in labrador called 'goose bay'. i had the pleasure to head back home and shoot my good friend's iona and jay's wedding on august 16th.

iona, jay and i were once roommates here in ottawa at the crazy house of 6D Crestlea. they now live in iqaluit where iona is a teacher and jay is a videographer for CBC. it was nice to shoot a friends wedding again as this is how i made my start 3 short years ago when i shot jay's sister alison's wedding.

thanks iona, amile and jay for trusting me to capture the big day and i also want to thank jay for filming for our vegas wedding.

here are my favs of the day!!
