HOLLY & JEFF: ENGAGEMENT

When I was growing up, Anne of Green Gables was my absolute favourite movie ever!  I watched it over and over and over again until I could seriously recite that entire movie…word for word {and it’s a long one!}.  I just loved the setting, the beautiful, poofy dresses and of course, the romance.  But I’m not going to lie though…that movie ultimately made me a bit afraid of girls with red hair!  Anne was feisty, had a bit of a temper {to say the least!} and after watching her enough times, I was convinced that Anne Shirley was not a girl that I wanted to run into in a dark alley!

As it turns out, destiny hasn’t brought a whole lot of red heads into my life thus far however…the ones that are in my life also happen to be some of my most favourite ladies in the entire world!  They’re gorgeous, they’re brilliant and they have a unique radiance about them that makes heads turn every where they go!!!  I truly can’t get enough of these incredible women but even now, after all this time, I’m still convinced that the certain “je ne sais quoi” that they possess, is a direct result of their hair colour!  It’s as though the genetic makeup that pigmented their hair also permeated their personality to create this fiery sense of confidence and beauty that is completely incomparable.  I know that it’s a rather weak theory at best but nonetheless, I’m sure that it’s a red-headed thing!!

Well, after three years in the business of photography, I’m pleased to say that I’ve got my very first red-headed bride on the roster and believe me, she suits her red hair {and her handsome fiance!} just perfectly!  As we were roaming the woods and joking about my childhood fear of red-heads, the amazingly charming Jeff stepped into the conversation to tell his beautiful wife to be all of the ways in which she most certainly did justice to her luscious locks!  And that, my friends, is what true love is all about…seeing the very best of yourself reflected in someone else!

It also happens to make this camera happy girl pretty darn excited to have one of the funnest couples ever to call her own…red hair and all!

Ladies and gentlemen, please meet the ridiculously awesome Holly & Jeff…

    I would just like to say that these pictures of Holly and Jeff are STUNNING! I’m so happy for them, as Holly is one of my very best of friends and I’m so excited that she found such a wonderful photographer that both of them could feel comfortable in sharing their love through photography.
    At first I scrolled down to see the pictures without reading the blurb about them… because honestly I didn’t realize it was about them. But once I scrolled back up to the top to read it… I was absolutely blown away. It was so well written and very true! Thank you so much for making my wonderful friend Holly and her awesome Fiance happy and feel beautiful as they both are inside and out!
    I can’t wait to see the rest of them… these melted my heart and brought a whole bunch of happy tears 🙂

    Thank you,

    Maggie

    Knowing that they have loved one another for a very long time. I have personally never seen Holly glow so much when speaking about another human being. In these pictures tears came to my eyes seeing my best friend enter a beautiful and exciting time in her life. In eachothers lives. The very essence of love was captured in every frame. I think most people will agree.Congrats and cheers
    Love The Eldridge Family xoxox

    Holly and Jeff, your engagement photos are amazing! Your photographer is especially talented in capturing your beauty and love. The lighting and scenery are beautiful. My favourite photos are the B&W of both of you with you laughing Holly with a tear escaping (#3), and the one with you Holly looking over your shoulder at the camera (#11) that captures your beautiful eyes and hair. We am so proud and happy for you both! Congratulations on your engagement! Love, Aunt Julia

    Hi Holly and Jeff! Beautiful engagement photos. So natural and beautiful. They do not look like staged superficial photos. We are related somehow…..not sure how though…..must be through the Siddall line. Do hope you have a long, wonderful life together.

  14. […] Holly and Jeff, I can’t think of a better couple to be with on this particular day.  You were beyond troopers as we dragged you {and your fantastic wedding party!} through the tumultuously rainy weather for all of your pictures.  You have been an absolute privilege to work with from the very first time I met you and it was an honour to watch you commit your lives to each other.  I can only hope that all of my seasons wrap up with clients that I adore as much as you two… […]

  15. […] They have walked alongside me for nearly this entire adventure so far; starting with their engagement…then their wedding a year later…and now, in anticipation of their amazing baby boy.  […]
