I met Kirby back in Grade 9. Kirby was born in Alberta and her sister Kendal was born in North Bay, Ontario. The family moved from Alberta to Ontario while they were kids. Their new town was a hamlet so small, you wouldn't even know you were standing in the center unless someone tapped you on the shoulder and told you so. This hamlet happens to be named Kirby. As fate should have it, the town of Kendal is located a few kilometers down the concession road.
On Christmas day in separate locations, unbeknownst to each other, both sisters received marriage proposals from their long term boyfriends. Each said yes. Only later in the day did they speak to one and other, and were surprised of the monumental news each had to share.
While the Canadian winter flexes her mighty muscles and sends chills up the tails of our jackets, the sisters embraced the allusion of their earlier coincidences and flew south this past week for a combined beach wedding on January 15, their parents wedding anniversary.
Unfortunately their Grandmother was unable to make the long flight. So, on a beautiful, warm, late afternoon last August, the sisters got dressed up to show Grandma their wedding dresses in person. Kirby hired me to take some portraits with the women of the family. Finally, five months later I am proudly able to share some highlights of the shoot
Congratulations Kirby & Scott, Kendal & TJ and happy anniversary Ginnie & Clarke!!!
