David & Angelique {Family = Love}

I had the pleasure of photographing David & Angelique's wedding about 2 years back and they've recently been blessed with a beautiful baby boy, and asked us to do their newborn shoot as well as a family shoot. They are fortunate to have both sets of great grandparents still with them, and also some great great grandparents!

Denielle, who has the most amazing patience with newborns, as well as the talent to photograph the little people, did their newborn shoot at David and Angelique's house. Photographing babies in their environment is such a pleasure - everyone is relaxed.

Then we followed that up a couple of weeks later with an extended family shoot at Angelique's parents' home. So special to have so many family members there!

"I was just about to email you to thank you for the most beautiful presentation and commend you and Denielle on the wonderful photography. I have just finished looking at the family disc with my mom and we loved the pictures taken!

Thank you so much for capturing these moments for us and for the second disc cover too – it looks amazing! And am sure dad is going to love the pictures of his ‘toy box’.

Thanks again and look forward to seeing again soon. (Already wanting to book our next shoot! But will keep you posted!

Take care, MUCH THANKS and best regards"

Love these special relationships I am able to have with 'total strangers'. From meeting them the very first time after their engagement, when they start looking for a photographer to capture their wedding, to sharing in their joy when a baby is born, and later doing family photographs for them!

Here are some images from their Newborn Shoot which Denielle did, followed by the Family Photos I did.

Nash Family Shoot

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the Nash Family. Cherise and Simon got married 10 years ago at Moon & Sixpence, and with their anniversary approaching, they decided to do a shoot with their now family of four at the exact place where they promised forever to each other.

Cherise said: "10 years ago I married my best friend and love of my life, and without a doubt Patrick captured the love, laughter and happiness we shared. I absolutely LOVED every single one of our photos and to this day I look at them and smile as I remember the day. Since then Patrick has photographed my best friend's wedding and recently my brother's wedding. I feel a bit like he is apart of the family having shared in so many important moments in our lives.

As our 10th anniversary approached my hubby asked what I wanted to do to celebrate. Without hesitation my answer was “a family photo shoot with Patrick!!” Knowing my love for photos he wasn’t to surprise and agreed it would be a good idea.

We met Patrick back at Moon and Sixpence to do our shoot this time with our two kids in tow, we had so much fun with the kids reliving some of our favorite shots, it brought back so many memories and made so many new ones with our little family.

Patrick you are a master at what you do, you don’t just take photos you capture moments and memories, your talent and passion shows in every picture, thank you so much for being apart of our special moments we look forward to making many more and having you there to capture them."

Thank you Cherise & Simon...
