birthday cake meets neapolitan and the story of an on-line romance.
a few weeks ago we met up with rob and chuck for their engagement session in niagara falls for pictures on what could have been the warmest afternoon this year...but we braved the heat and had a great time-and they shared their love story with us.
on a recent phone call with the guys, we were chatting about how did we ever get by pre-internet days? how did we run our businesses? as on-line dating is so common these days...i have to wonder how would we meet our soul mates? : ) there's a good chance these two might never have met living so far apart-chuck in west virginia and rob in toronto-i will say no more...and invite you to enjoy the short film we made of rob and chuck:
when i asked the guys what they envisioned for their wedding, they told me 'it will be fun-it's gonna be a big party! we just want our friends and family to have a great time!'.
it's been a pleasure getting to know you both and we look forward to photographing your wedding celebration next month in niagara-on-the-lake! (and suddenly i have a craving for nachos, beer and wings) i'll leave you with a few images from their engagement session...








hope y'all are having a great long weekend! don't stay away-i have a few more engagement sessions coming up!

What an endearing couple! The love and tenderness they share just drips from every photo. Great job Nataschia! Best of life, love, and happiness to you both!!

Phew! I was checking out Nat’s latest and watching this with my son and was crying (and taking some flak!) and now I see everyone else was crying too.
Beautiful to see so much love there - and of course Miss Nat in the middle of it…because she is the perfect accompaniment to a loving couple! Many years of happiness, guys!

LOVE the beautiful video and pictures. Since we have not met him, it’s very nice to put a face and voice to Chuck. Enjoyed hearing about how you met and describing each other. We are really looking forward to the wedding!
P.S. Pudding, ice cream, nachos, beers, wings, and Chucks cooking, so many food shout outs. After the wedding we have to take you and Chuck to Duffs for Toronto’s best wings!

Hey guys, we took a break from work in our home office to watch the video and both got choked up. We are thrilled with your joy, and wish you all the best today, tomorrow and forever.
Love,
