Paco Graduates from Puppy School at PetSmart with his friends…

Paco attended puppy school at PetSmart in Burlington. It was an 8 weeks course. He learned all sorts of tricks!  Here are some cute pics of him and his friends from school!

On graduation night, I could not help but bring my camera to capture the big event! They were very co-operative.

We were blessed with Patrick as our trainer. He was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable.

A group shot of all the kids in the class.

Today Paco was blessed to have his cousin over…my brother Jamie’s girlfriends dog…take a look….

A Big Thank You to Ingrid & Eden!

I just wanted to show you all how thoughtful the two girls I work with on a daily basis are. You see, I am turning 35 on Saturday, yes 35. I don’t know how I feel about it yet. We will have to see. 30 was very hard for me and now 35????  This morning while I was up making coffee, Ingrid and Eden made this  beautiful display on my desk. It almost brought tears to my eyes. Just kidding! It brought me the biggest SMILE ever because cupcakes are my absolute favourite. They even made my favourite Cherry Bit with vanilla icing and sprinkles. It is now 6:25pm and there is only one lonely one left with the letter A sitting beside me.

This is Ingrid for those of you who have heard her beautiful voice, but not seen her beautiful face.

This is the three of us! The Vine Images Team!

Anna + Joshua {MARRIED} at Carmen’s Banquet Hall in Hamilton

Anna & Josh were married at Carmen’s Banquet Centre in Hamilton, on December 11th, 2009. It was a very windy and cold day but never-the-less the wedding & reception turned out absolutely beautiful. This wedding blog is dedicated to Martin Dragon Nguyen. On New Years eve tragedy struck this beautiful family when Anna’s younger brother Martin (just 14 years of age) died suddenly of  Cardiomyopathy. A disease of the heart muscle which went undetected his whole life. I have been thinking and praying for you and your entire family daily. Just like myself Anna’s mother had two girls and then her baby boy. I remember speaking with her that day about how precious little boys are to their mothers.  I can’t imagine the hurt that you are going through. May these pictures bring  joy to you, and your entire family. He was such an amazing young man who was loved dearly by all the people  in his life. You were such a beautiful bride and an amazing big Sister, Anna! I was honoured to be part of your day and will never forget your family.

Anna with her little brother Martin and her sister Trinh.

Her dress was purchased ar Rainbow Bridal in Hamilton. She wore a Davinci Wedding Gown

Tricia + Gabriel ~ Married at The Estates of Sunnybrook, Toronto – By Vine Images Photography

When I arrived at the Westin Prince Hotel to photograph the Bride, I found Tricia getting a SURPRISE foot massage from her soon to be husband. I could not resist capturing the moment. For all you future Grooms out there…take notes! What a great idea!

I loved Tricia’s Wedding Day Agenda! “Be dressed and ready to smile!”

Tricia’s dress was purchased at Promises & Lace  bridal store in Burlington, Ontario and designed by Pronovias.

The wedding and reception took place at the Estates of Sunnybrook .It is a renowned Toronto Ontario wedding venue that has been delighting brides since 1983. This unique wedding venue hosts events for 25 to 150 guests in two historic mansions set on 42 acres of landscaped gardens. Walter from Decor With Grandeur Inc did a fantastic job of decorating the venue and made sure everything went as planned. He was a pleasure to work with! Tricia & Gabriels cake was from Dufflet’s Bakery in Toronto.

Tricia - Julie, your pictures truly tell a story and we are so thrilled you have been a part of ours! Thank you for creating these amazing "forever memories" for us to relive the day and share with our family and friends.February 3, 2010 - 9:44 pm
