I was the second photographer at Jen and Mike’s wedding for the amazing Karen McNeil a couple of weeks ago.   It was at Merridale Cider, which is really pretty and totally worth the drive.   It was my first time as a second shooter, and it was a great learning experience.  I was assigned to shoot the guys getting ready.  They kept asking me questions, like “are these pants high enough?” or “how do I do this pocket square?” and I replied, “I don’t know. I’m usually with the bride!”  And I still don’t know how to put a boutenniere on.

Here are some of my favourite shots from the day.  The guys started at the Oceanfront Grand Resort, which is set in an gorgeous location.
