My Beautiful Pregnant Wife

October 11th is the due date, but Renee says this week will be fine. :-)

She's feeling a little uncomfortable, but I think she looks beautiful.

Can't wait to see you little one!

Chloe | Kitchener Children's Photographer | Matt Ballard Photography

One of the best things about being a photographer, is when I get to put my childrens photographer hat on.

I love working with kids, and my niece Chloe is always a good sport about letting Uncle Matt take some new photos!

There's just something contagious about the smile on a little face.

And then of course I get to smile all over again when I'm going back later and working on the images. :-)

Ben and Vanessa - A Guelph Wedding

Ben and Vanessa were a fantastic couple to work with! Vanessa has an amazing sense of humour and always seems to have a smile on her face. Ben was quiet, but as you can see, he has a devilish twinkle in his eyes that goes along with his smile that made for some great photos.

As you know, this summer has been hit and miss for weather, and it didn't cooperate for Ben and Vanessa's Guelph Wedding, but they didn't let it stop the merriment. A great time was had by all, and I really enjoyed working with such a wonderful couple.

Ben and Vanessa are just so great together, and I wish them both many, many years of happiness and good times.

Here's a few of my favourites from the day. Click on any of the photos to see a larger image.

Wedding Photos at the Italian Canadian Club - Guelph Wedding

The ceremony and reception were at the Italian Canadian Club on Ferguson St. in Guelph. We used their foyer for photos as the rain had decided to come down outside.



There's that smirk of Ben's I mentioned! :-)



In the Limo At A Guelph Wedding

The limo ride was a lot of fun! Unfortunately, the weather still wasn't cooperating, so we didn't get a chance to do photos in the park.

We did get some great photos in the limo though!
