Wonderful Light the Night Event, October 15th 2011

One of my Bride's Kim and her family have organized a wonderful event that I am proud to have donated an awesome framed photo for the silent auction to.
All money raised will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.

Lindsay's beautiful sister-in-law Kim is currently in hospital fighting cancer. For those who know Kim, it will come as no surprise that her spirits are higher than ever and we all know this is just one more step in her battle to beat cancer once and for all.


On October 15, 2011 at 7 p.m. you are invited to join us at Local Heroes Bar & Grill in Bells Corners for an event to raise funds for Kim’s favourite charity –the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. Kim’s team, CanCervive, will be participating in the Light the Night Walk next month and we want to make a donation in Kim’s name as a thank you for everything she does to inspire us.


There will be awesome door prizes, a silent auction and a prize for the person who is best-dressed in Light the Night colours-red, white and gold.
Tickets are $5 and will be available to purchase beforehand from Lindsay Valente and at the door the night of the fundraiser. All proceeds will go to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. (http://www.lightthenight.ca/)
I hope you will join us for a night of fun and fundraising in honour of our amazing Kim!

October 2nd Ottawa wedding at Bean town Ranch

Bean town Ranch is always a pleasure to visit. They appoint people to look after the bride and groom whenever they need anything, the venue is gorgeous and the food is amazing!

 
 This was the first time I had been here on a non sunny day and the wedding was still incredible.
Andreanne and Graham, a big special thank you for having me there to photograph your wedding.
Andie and Graham were the winners of the discounted wedding package from the Spring 2011 Ottawa Wedding Show, so I'm so glad to have met them.
Also, there wedding will be appearing online somewhere very special to me with more details to follow as soon as it is confirmed.
