I met Drew & Heather in Punta Canta. I was there for Joe & Natasha’s wedding. You can see their awesome destination wedding here. Heather had said to me “Julie, I am calling you when I get engaged!” I thought she was teasing and just being nice. I saw Drew had proposed on Facebook, that handy social networking tool, along with another couple from the destination wedding trip. (this is very exciting, there totally must of been something in the rum!) Congratulations messages were flying around their facebook pages. The next morning, at 7:30 am my phone rings and it is Heather. “Good morning Julie, I told you I would call you!”.

I was totally pumped ~ ahh I have also forgot to mention not only is this crowd a ton of fun, friendly and so welcoming, the wedding is also in Newfoundland! Woo hoo.

Heather starts telling me wedding details, and unfortunately I am booked for her day.
(Please insert the saddest face imaginable here.)

I was so very excited when they asked me to do their engagement pictures. Drew’s family owns a tree farm and they wanted snow. I had a crazy vision that included a red couch. So the search for the red couch began.
I searched and searched and searched.
no luck.
Well actually I did find one but there was no way it was fitting in my van, and I had no intensions on rental a cube van for the day!
I called Drew & Heather the day before the session to let them in on what I had planned and that I had been looking for a red couch. I asked if they knew anyone with an old love seat, at this time any colour but floral would do.  They didn’t think so. But later that night I got “the” call, they had found a red couch. They were not sure if it was what I was looking for but they had found one.

I went to bed that night dreaming of the couch, not knowing what it looked liked. It could of been all wrong, too fluffy, too big or too little.

Guess what….. it was totally perfect!

I had an awesome time with Drew & Heather, they were great to brave out the cold.

My heart did sink more though, when I asked Heather if the wedding was near the ocean and her reply was, “the church is across the road, there is a huge cliff……”
I had to plug my ears….Congratulations Drew & Heather!
