Down the Aisle: Leslie + Richard

Some people have only a vague idea of the kind of person they'd like to marry, while others are pretty detailed about precisely what they're looking for in a potential partner. Richard, was one of those people who had a very clear idea from early on. He wanted someone smart (and beautiful), preferably with red hair, and—it would be a major bonus if her name would start with "L" so he could continue the tradition of R's & L's in his family. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Leslie.

Smart, beautiful, and a natural red-head, her parents even had the foresight to give her a name that begins with "L." (I guess that makes both she and Richard "lucky" now too!)

I first met this amazing lady back in the late '90's when we traveled together in Up With People and now, almost 15 years later, I am honored to have been asked to come up to Canada to photograph such an important day in her and Richard's lives. Congratulations to you both!

Shooting other camera slingers is like a game! I love shots like these... :)

The signing of the marriage certificate was part of the wedding ceremony, and provided touching moments like this one...

And this one...

Is it me, or are those tuxes extra fabulous? Love those!!!!!

Emir captures this gem of Leslie's parents documenting the moment...

This setting reminds me of the Queen's garden in Alice and Wonderland... somewhat whimsical...

First dance...

Emir had a ball playing with all the mirrors the venue had...

The light in this photo is so yummy, I just want to eat it with a spoon! :) (That, and Abigail looks gorgeous!)

Enjoy Quebec City you two!
