Christine & Brian | Studying Poetry

Ok, well so they’re not studying poetry…  Brian took business and Christine was into the sciences.  Doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun in the poetry section.  Besides, isn’t poetry the language of love, the official romance language???  It’s probably where a lot of students find themselves making out behind the wall of books!  Or maybe I just watch too much TV. Christine & Brian had fun in the library, where it all pretty much began for them.  Brian studying Accounting and Business and Christine studying BioChem… University of Toronto Engagement Photography (1 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (2 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (7 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (10 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (16 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (18 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (21 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (25 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (28 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (36 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (37 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (42 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (75 of 159)University of Toronto Engagement Photography (98 of 159)C&B (112)

Dropcam | Gear & Gear Review

I’m going to date myself here, and probably some of you (maybe even most of you reading this) may not have a clue what I’m referring to, but here I go anyways!  Remember the episode of Happy Days, where Richie Cunningham and Lori Beth got married?  It was not a traditional wedding as Richie was off to war (and the actor was no longer on the show!).  So the Fonz, (good ole Fonzie) was Richies proxie at the altar.  Lori Beth and Richie (through the Fonz on the telephone) said their vows and were married.  The Fonz relayed to Lori Beth and the guests what Richie was saying and eventually in the episode Richie and Lori Beth were officially married.

That was 1981, before the internet, before the iphone, before icloud, basically before anything that started with an “i”.   If Richie and Lori Beth had decided to get married in 2014 they would have just bought a Dropcam.   What is a dropcam?  Well, it’s just as it sounds.  It’s  a camera built into a small case and you just “drop” it wherever you want to start filming and streaming video.

Dropcam is a cloud-based Wi-Fi video monitoring service with free live streaming, two-way talk and remote viewing that makes it easy to stay connected with places, people and pets, no matter where you are.”  This picture from the Dropcam site, gives a snapshot of how exactly the dropcam works:

 

howitworks

 

Taken right from the website, a brief explanation of what Dropcam is.  You walk into your living room and basically just “drop” the camera where you want, plug in, connect to wifi and PRESTO you are ready to being streaming your wedding live! This is a great little gadget to use on your wedding day.  Having fun in the bus and want to stream live to your friend in Edmonton who couldn’t make it, turn on the camera and record the fun.  Don’t want the world to see the fun you are having in the limo, no problem, only the people you invite to the stream can view it.  Want everyone in the world to be able to view your ceremony, not a problem again, make your live stream completely public so anyone can view.  So many options with the dropcam!!

What else is the dropcam good for? Pretty much anything you can think of!  When your wedding is over and you’ve moved on to other things, say like a baby,  just drop that camera in your living room and record your baby taking his or her first steps…Keep it streaming so the grandparents on the other side of the country, or the world, can watch, live as it happens.  Or maybe dad is on a business trip and wants to see how his baby is doing.  Just drop the cam and let him watch!    Want the dropcam to act as a baby monitor, just set it up in the nursery at night.  The dropcam has night vision!

So the next time you are getting married by proxy, a la Richie & Lori Beth OR just want to stream your wedding live for the world to see, invest in a dropcam.  You won’t  be sorry!

Stop by www.dropcam.com and have a look yourself and while you’re at it or follow their campain at #preppinforthebigday

Michelle & Jason | New York, Hamburger Helper & Outdoors at the Lambton Golf & Country Club

Lambton Golf & Country Club Wedding Between Hamburger Helper, The Oyster Bar, a very prompt Limo driver, Golf and the ever so coveted sunshine,  I don’t know that Michelle & Jason could have asked for a more perfect day.  Yes, the weather was great.  Probably one of the best weekends for weather we’ve had this summer.  But that wasn’t what made this wedding so special.  Jason & Michelle’s was one of the first weddings to be photographed outdoors at the Lambton Golf & Country Club.  As special as that even is, and believe you me,  the Lambton Golf & Country Club is pretty darned special, it was just the feeling surrounding Michelle & Jason’s wedding that made this day truly wonderful!  Surrounded by family and friends, Jason & Michelle pledged their forever vows to each other.

Jason had been searching for his true love for quite some time, and who knew a girl from New York who had just moved to T.O. for her job, would be the one to catch his eye.    When Michelle’s sister took the microphone to speak about Michelle and Jason she told of how she traveled to Toronto to meet Jason.  She wanted to make sure her sis was making a good decision.  When Jason traveled through T.O. traffic for over 90 minutes to get to them, to travel back into traffic to make sure they were on time to their dinner reservation, Andrea (Michelle’s sister) wasn’t sure they should still go.  When Jason said he didn’t mind and he just wanted to make sure Michelle was happy and that was all that mattered, Andrea breathed a sigh of relief.  Jason was for real and she knew he was the one for Michelle.  She could go back home  knowing that her sister was going to be ok in Toronto because she had Jason.

There were many stories, funny stories, told all night long…Most of the funny stories were aimed at Jason, something about Hamburger Helper (hide your boxes if you invite Jason or his frat brothers over for dinner!), something about a horse and white boots or shoes? For a moment I thought Russell Peters had made a guest appearance at the wedding.   Jason’s friend and frat brother was the MC and he kept everyone in stitches the whole time,  Jason’s dad made an “eloquent” speech about horse back riding and Michelle’s father rounded out the speeches with a beautiful testament to his daughter’s character.   When the MC came back to grab the Mic, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as he paid tribute to his good pal Jason.

Venue/Ceremony: Lambton Golf and Country Club
