Le Salon International des Future Maries

As official photographer for Le Salon International des Future Maries bridal show, I zipped around gorgeous Plaza Volare , photographing the crowds, the brightly decorated booths, and the bridal fashion show.

The photo above is one of the lovely runway models, in a quiet moment, just before making her grand entrance.

The next bridal show is Les Grands Salons Marions Nous January 6-7 at Place Bonaventure. That show is absolutely gigantic-- the largest in Quebec-- and not to be missed.

A completely adorable pair of flip-flops I saw in the Sandals booth:

Nadia and Brent

Nadia and Brent are from Lasalle, a Montreal neighborhood with a vibrant Trinidadian community.

It seemed like at least half of the community turned up at Nadia's house on her wedding day (September 30), just to see her off. Car after car arrived, spilling people on to the sidewalk. Speakers were set up outside and the tunes were cranked to earsplitting levels.

It was a great start to a fun day with some really fine folks.

Below, Nadia watching the action on the sidewalk from inside the house:

I always try to do some natural, non-posed portraits as well as some classic wedding portraits for each couple. The bride and groom usually like the less posed portraits, while the grannies and the grandpas and the mums and dads usually prefer the classical ones.

... the guys, looking fine, in a rare serious moment.



Congratulations, Nadia and Brent. You're a wondferful couple-- an example to all of us-- and wow, you guys sure know how to throw a party!
