I love love love when a couple is so comfortable with each other and when it's obvious that they fit together so well. Alex and Sean just have this kind of energy that buzzes when they're together, to the point where when you back off and leave them alone you can absolutely feel the care and love they have for each other.

Central United Church was where Brenda and Kent got married. We were standing in the stairwell where Brenda waited before the ceremony 25 years ago. "I love you." Brenda looked at Kent dead in the eye and instantly teared up. Honestly, I can't stop thinking about that one moment in the session. Those three words are so simple and yet they mean so much. I love you. I love you.
I have spent twenty five years with you and I am still madly in love with you.
Sometimes the way Alyssa and Brandon looked at each other made me stop and smile from ear to ear, because it is so heartwarming to see two people look at each other like they are so lucky to have found each other. The two will be getting married in May and I'm super excited to shoot their wedding and see more small glances that are so quiet but at the same time so overwhelmingly loud.
Before this year I didn't really act much on what I really wanted to do. I would just imagine what my life would be like if I were a photographer. I would take photography seriously but not serious enough. It was always "what if?" and "maybe not". It was just a hope, always in the distance. I was studying something I really, really did not want to do and even though I tried to grind my way through it, there was no way I could lie to myself and think that I was actually happy in the field I was in. I was miserable. It was not what I wanted to do. It finally got so bad that I snapped and suddenly this wasn't a dream, suddenly this was the only thing I wanted to do and it weighed so heavily in my heart that suddenly all my fears were nothing. Yes, I'll switch majors. Yes I will practice and get good at this and the maybe's started becoming definitely's. One night at two in the morning I made a website. I bought a new camera. I spent a whole summer saving up for the only thing I've really wanted to do since I was sixteen.
Looking back on the year, 2012 was pretty big for me. I put myself out there and really tried, and I'm pretty sure it's working. I've never been happier, really; I've met so many great people who have helped me out a ton, both in giving me advice and encouragement and in pushing my limits in what I can do. I've started taking pictures that I am actually proud of. I've got a whole bunch of people I love and who are so supportive sometimes I just lie in bed at night and think about what a lucky person I am. 2012 was very good to me and I'm really excited to keep moving forward and seeing where I end up a year, two years, ten years from now.
I'm just really excited about life in general, and before this year, I don't think I could have really honestly said that.
There are some times when you want to make yourself as small and invisible as possible so you can watch how easy and natural the love between two people is without any disturbance. So you can watch her fit comfortably in his arms, like there was nothing easier, not even breathing. This is exactly where they need to be. Just the two of them. Rae and Craig.
