Shalon + Jason

Donna McMullin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:09:20 +0000

Here are just a few images from Shalon and Jason’s day. The wedding was held in beautiful Freshwater, just outside of Carbonear, NL. Shalon grew up here and on the rocks in her backyard right on the ocean is where Jason proposed. Jason is a talented musician and he used his talent to compose a beautiful processional song for Shalon’s walk down the aisle. You can hear more of Jason’s compositions on the accompanying CD to his children’s book “The Stupendous Adventures of Gregory Green”. After the ceremony, went went back into the church where Jason played piano for his new bride. Anyone present could see the love between these two. I am very happy I was part of your day. Thank you! Oh, and in case you might be wondering, the rings are unlike any I had ever seen, they are made of oak wood. Shalon’s dress is made of hemp. Unique and friendly to the environment.

Melissa + Danny

You might remember Melissa and Danny from their engagement photos back last year. I was lucky to have the opportunity to photograph their wedding. Melissa was an absolutely radiant bride. I had a great time at the wedding, thanks to you both, your family and friends for creating a beautiful day and allowing me to be a part of it.

Hugs,
Donna

I love Tracy, Jamie, Jack and Ella. Tracy is friend of mine and she really inspires me with her artistic creativity, outgoing personality and absolutely beautiful family. I can go on and on, but I’ll keep it short and get to the pics. What a day!

PS. How about the new blog? Cool er wha? Well, it’s not new per se, just upgraded. I can get fancy with slideshows now and check that link to my facebook page on the left of the screen… it’s like magic when you mouse over it ;). So, let me test this new fancy blog out with a sparkley flash slideshow.

Keep positive vibes flowing around yourself and the whole world will be a better place… that’s all I got to say today!
Peace n Love!

Erica + Brian

Donna McMullin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:24:20 +0000

I was really confused when I met Erica and Brian because they weren’t married, as far as I knew, and they had the same last name. Well, turns out the were just born with the same last name so that makes a few things easier haha. I take it as a sign that these two are just meant to be together. It was a beautiful day and as you will see Erica was a beautiful bride. Together with Brian, they made that Jaguar look good! Thanks for a great day :).

Hope you are all enjoying the summer!
Hugs,
Donna

Deanne & Larry

Deanne and Larry… wow. Beautiful couple, beautiful day, I couldn’t ask for much more. There was a lot of love in the room during the ceremony and reception and I have to admit, I had to keep the camera in front of my face during Larry’s speech to Deanne, it was genuine, and so very sweet. I nearly cried. You guys have something special. Our day took us to the school where Deanne and Larry first started dating about 13 years ago, The Rooms, George Street and Quidi Vidi. Quidi Vidi is becoming one of my favorite locations mainly for the hospitality of the locals. I’ve been there three times so far this wedding season, first time we got invited onto a beautiful boat, second time we got invited into a mans little house he uses for fishing and we were allowed use of his private deck on the water. So this time we weren’t disappointed, we were kept smiling and completely entertained with a skipper who got out his ‘Ugly Stick’ to play a few Newfie tunes from his boat. Never a dull moment! Well, hope you enjoy a few of the photos, thanks Deanne and Larry for a great day!

A photo in front of their old school - St. Theresa's. I'm told the school will soon be torn down to build a new one.

Thank you for reading my blog, I appreciate my readers who and wherever you may be!

Julie + Jason

After numerous email and phone chats, I finally got to meet Julie and Jason. A beautiful couple very much in love. A gorgeous and sunny wedding day once again, I’m 100% for warm sunny wedding days this season, so far ;). Well, hope you enjoy just a few pics that I have chosen to share. We did go on a bit of an adventure in tree climbing, it was so much fun. Check out where Jason and Julie carved their initials many years ago, I didn’t realize how high up it was going to be! All the best Jason and Julie as you continue your journey together as husband and wife. It was a true pleasure to meet you, your family and friends.

Hugs and more hugs,
Donna

Kelly + Giles

Another beautiful and sunny wedding day. Was last summer this nice? My life was so busy last summer I think I missed it, I’m vowing to make up for that this summer though. I had the opportunity to meet this beautiful couple through the talented Chris Crockwell of Crockwell Photography. They had a great outdoor wedding about a 1/2 hour outside of town at Kelly’s family cabin. It was great to get out of town and experience a new setting. Special thanks to Kelly’s dad for rowing me out into the pond for a few shots!

Hugs,
Donna

Building the Taj Mahal

Donna McMullin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:59:15 +0000

I will take a break from the wedding blog posts for a bit of fun. I was watching Canada AM yesterday and Jeff Hutcheson was doing my favourite part of the show where he talks about stuff he learned on the Internet. He mentioned that famous English footballer (and Mr. Posh Spice hehe), David Beckham, loves Legos. I thought it was extremely rare for a grown man to love Legos. My husband, a huge Lego lover, turned 30 in June. All he’s talked about since seeing it on our trip to a NYC Toys R Us in October is the Taj Mahal Lego Set. At 5,922 tiny pieces, Lego’s Taj Mahal model replica is considered the biggest and one of the most advanced models developed by Lego. When Becks recently admitted that during a stay in Italy, he occupied his time by building the Taj Mahal replica, sales of this particular model rose 663% in one day! It was a very sneaky operation, but his Mother, sister and I surprised my husband with the set on his birthday. So, here are a few photos of the progress of building our Taj Mahal.

Located in Agra, India, the real life Taj Mahal is a mausoleum built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is now very high on my list of places to see during my life, I look forward to having a blog post with photos of the real thing someday. So, I hope Lego finds my Blog… David Beckham and his family have been invited to tour the Lego headquarters in Billund, Denmark, and contribute new ideas to the Lego Group. We are totally available to make the trip, afterall we put it together before Becks LOL! Seriously though, I am happy that he shared his passion for building with his fans, Legos are cool at any age!

1 of 3 instruction books

The beginning, phone in there for a size comparison.

Top Piece

The final product. Hard to tell the size here but there is an orange guitar pic to the right of it for comparison. Took a total of 2 weeks to complete, spending a bit of time each day on it.

Lots of love,
Donna

Nicole + Larry

It was the 4th of July and I got to spend it in style with Americans, complete with fireworks! Nicole, a Jersey Girl and Larry, a Newfoundlander now living in the US are a lovely couple I had the pleasure of meeting through my friends Jordan and Kim of Kimspirations. The wedding took place at the Bread and Cheese in of Bay Bulls, a venue I hadn’t heard of until recently, but what a beautiful place with incredible grounds for an outdoor wedding by the sea. I think I will be going back. Well, not too much I can say – it was another beautiful day with beautiful people, I am very lucky. I’ll get to the photos.. here are just a few I’d like to share.

From a photographer's perspective, I couldn't ask for more beautiful than this night.

Damien Follett and his band The Vibe did a great job at the wedding playing some excellent dance tunes. There was also a sax player in the band which was great for me as I am learning to play now - it was great inspiration.

Beautiful cake by Picco's Creations. I think the whole thing is edible, flowers, butterflies and all.

Love n hugs,
Donna

Carolyn + Joe
