Bryan & Tina’s wedding at Walter’s Falls – a sneak peak

nina murray photography — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:06:01 +0000

On July 16th, 2011 our good friends Bryan & Tina were married at the Walter’s Falls Inn near Owen Sound, Ontario.

I felt lucky to be asked to be the wedding photographer for this occasion, and my husband Mike was in the wedding party.

Despite the very warm temperatures, everyone was in great spirits, and it was an excellent day.

Here are some of my favourite pictures so far —— a sneak peak.

A very cool entrance to the ceremony – the bridesmaids rode in on the tailgate.

A very romantic pose on the bridge

an experimental shot in the dark. Thanks to Trevor, one of the groomsmen for helping with the lighting.

The dance brought about some outstanding dance moves!

I love the expressions during the garter toss.

A surprise wedding!! Jody squared

nina murray photography — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 03:13:46 +0000

I was extremely honoured to be asked to photograph my old university roommate’s surprise wedding in June. Jody M (roommate) married Jody K. For those of you who haven’t heard of a surprise wedding, the basics are:

1. Make up a story to get your family to your house (like a father’s day BBQ)

2. Have the officiant and photographer ready to go.

3. Tell family when they walk through the door that today is your wedding day.

4. Have the wedding ceremony.

So, some great pictures and great reactions!

The waiting game…………………

Family reactions as they are told the news………………..

Crystal & Dave’s Engagement Session: Dairy Farm in June

nina murray photography — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 17:37:37 +0000

I love engagement sessions on farms!

Crystal and Dave met me on her parent’s dairy farm for a great engagement session. We had all kinds of various spectators…cows…cats…birds and more.

I love the results, so here are a few of my favourites.

Some in the barn………………

I love that you can see the cows in the background of these ones.

A great swing in a willow tree.

My dog rocks! But he’s slow and lazy.

Flash is a great dog to take pictures of…..if you don’t want a dog to move. He’s a unique bagel hound, which is a cross between a beagle and basset hound.

The only thing, is that I can never get a shot of him laying on his belly. Whenever I get close with the camera, he rolls on his back or his side.

Okay, I guess he moves occasionally…..for food.

Little Beauty in a sea of dandylions

What a beautiful May 24 weekend. Our yard is yellow with dandylions, and Sierra spent the day picking bouquets for her “wedding”.

Here she is, the little beauty.

My Wedding Photography off season hobby: Cakes!!

I have a hobby that I love!! Yes, photography, but also decorating cakes.

I’ve been busy with a few great cakes in the last few months, and thought I should share the pictures.

If you need a cake done, birthday, wedding, wedding cupcakes, cookie wedding favours – give me a call!

Chris from Settler’s Creek Piano Photoshoot

I recently had the change to do a photoshoot with Chris Eisen from Settler’s Creek with an antique piano that survived a boat trip to Canada from Scotland a couple generations ago.

I did a nice mix of colour, vintage and black and white. I love the Beethoven-eqse intensity in some of the lower pictures (ear to the keyboard).

This is an extremely talented piano player, and it was very cool to have a photo shoot set to music!

Thanks Chris!

Winter time is off season, so here’s my little inspiration!

nina murray photography — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:12:20 +0000

Winter is not exactly wedding season (although I have done winter weddings, they are few and far between), so it’s my slow time of year until engagement pictures begin in the spring.

Winter doesn’t mean my camera sits and collects dust though.

So……I thought I would share a few of my favourite pictures from 2010 of my little muse, my princess daughter Sierra.

I love to bake, and dabble with cakes and cookie decorating, and Sierra is my most excited little helper. She loves to like the batter after the work is all done. Too bad she doesn’t like to help me clean up too.

Sierra helping mommy make chocolate cookies

This is my most recent cake BTW.

Here is another favourite of Sierra: playing peek a boo with the camera.

Sierra in mommy's sunglases

My Princess on grandma and grandpa's tire swing.

And the last one for today, although I have hundred’s more from last year that I love. Any day is a great day for a great picture and memory!!
