Karen + Karl - {Married}

I am always touched by seeing couples who dated for a long time before getting married. There were so many memories and stories behind their relationships. Karen and Karl are no exception. We were so happy to see Karen and Karl exchanged their vows after 9 years of marathon. Congratulations! We had so much fun at your wedding that we didn’t even want to leave!

Who would have thought that, Craig, the best man, wanted to hit Karl with a baseball bat when Karl was 9 years old.

This was the fuel for the guys before they set out to pick up the beautiful bride.

Luckily, we didn’t need to use them.

Karen must be really lucky to have a professional chef as a father.

The look from mom to daughter is always my favourite.

It’s time to torture the men!

This door game was one of the most painful, literally, that I had ever seen. But seeing their expression was priceless!

“For better or worse; Till death do us part; I’ll love you with every beat of my heart; And I swear” You guys should form a boys group. =)

This was sweet!

The sun came out just in time for us for the outdoor session. Karl, if you can’t find someone to use your complementary green fee, call me. =)

The slideshow revealed that Karl proposed to Karen at her school with the help from her students. Nice job!

The night ended with a dance stand off. If there was a MVP award for the best dancer, I would vote for Kevin!

No, that’s Tonny Chan, not Tony Chan.

Of course we had to show some of our newly learned skills.

This surely is one of the more special sessions for me.  Not only I knew Mike and Amy for a long time, but this time I also got to capture some of the most exciting moments for their beloved … Dodo!!

Hi Dodo! =)

I still remember the first time when I met Dodo, he was still a little puppy licking my fingers.  Now … well, he didn’t change much actually, same size at least. =D
