It’s not all happy…….but it is.

Well this isn’t your regular photo blog post.

It won’t be loaded with lots of awesome cool photos from different locations, filled with fabulous people.

This blog post is more about the reality of life, and how it plays it’s role with my wedding photography.

It’s a mixed bag of feelings this wedding photography. It’s always great when I get new couples choosing me to shoot their wedding day, and essentially build a new friendship with them. It’s even more awesome when the couples are a referral.

Sonya was a bridesmaid at one of my weddings I shot last year, and when Matt proposed to her (which was one of the most unexpected moments in Sonya’s life) she messaged me within a matter of days to let me know they want me to come with them on their Dominican adventure:). So it does make meĀ  sad that I would not be going with Sonya and Matt to their destination wedding in January 2011.

However, it isn’t all sad. The reason why I won’t be sharing their awesome wedding week with them is because the week we’re supposed to be in Punta Cana my wife and I are expecting our first born.

It always breaks my heart when I’m unable to shoot someone’s wedding, whether it’s locally in the Toronto area, or a destination wedding like Sonya and Matt’s.

With all things considered, it’s all for the right reasons.

While this blog post may not have a ton of images, it does have one. A single image that changes everything. A single image that can evoke all emotions known to man.

A single image that for us means, our lives will never be the same.

that’s what i’ve been told bud, lol. However, i generally don’t sleep much to begin with, so i’m hoping that it won’t be that big of a deal. I usually operate 20 hours on 5 hours of sleep. But we’ll see :)

Dan, this is aweosme news, congrats! My little guy, Connor just turned 1 on the 25th, it’s been an awesome adventure. Get some sleep, believe me, you’ll need it, it’s much worse than what people say. :-)

thanks so much for the beautiful words Sonya, and Kristie. It’s definitely a new chapter of our lives, all we can do is embrace it. I think if it’s a boy the toys i’ll be buying will be more for me to play with than the baby. You know all guys secretly want to play with hot wheels, and tonka trucks lol :)

It is absolutely for the right reason! You are awesome and like I said to you yesterday you were our first choice and that was definitely for a reason! Our wedding week you won’t be our photographer but you’ll be filling another set of shoes… Dad… one of the most amazing and blessed roles of all times… Matt and I & you and your wife are all going to be experiencing such amazing life events that week, you won’t be with us but you will be in our thoughts all the same!

Dan! This blog post makes me want to cry! Your message is so sweet. Matt and I are so happy for both of you.
