We met early on a Saturday morning to do their engagement session and when I saw Mary step out of the car I didn’t recognize her at first…va-va voom..was she ever dolled up! We first met these two in the summer of 2008 when I was doing Mary’s family session and her and Jason weren’t even engaged yet. Who knew we were going to be shooting their wedding one day?! I have to admit I cannot wait for their wedding..they have a terrific family that are so funny and Mary and Jason have to be one of the most loving, kind people I have ever met. You guys are a joy to hang out with so enjoy your sneak peek…..
When’s the big day? July 17, 2010
How did you meet?
she says: After one of my friends from Toronto mentioned she knew couples that had met online, I decided to try my own luck and sign myself up on www.plentyoffish.com. You have to be careful about meeting people online, and Jason was one of the lucky ones that made the cut 
He chose the perfect restaurant for our first date, a trendy new Japanese sushi restaurant in Kensington. We hit it off right away, and have been together ever since!
How did he/she propose?
she says: Esther and I were coming back from a month long trip to Hong Kong, and Jason was going to drive us home from the airport.
There he was, waiting with a bouquet of flowers for me. What a sweet guy! I happily accepted the gorgeous roses and gave him a big hug.
Suddenly, Jason got down on one knee. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and then he said…”Will you marry me?”…with a RING POP in his hand!
Shocked and in disbelief, I said…”is this for real? Why did you get me a ring pop?” I started crying and said…”yes”! I was so happy!
Then he took out the real ring, and said “Well, I guess I can return this one…”, to which I replied “I don’t want the ring pop anymore!”
he says: Luckily Esther was there to record the whole thing on video!! Watch for it at our wedding!!
Favorite thing about each other?
he says: so many things – but i love her big brain
she says: Jason is the sweetest – he’s very thoughtful and caring.
Your idea of a perfect date?
he says: trying something new that we both enjoy
she says: a nice meal followed by a romantic walk
Kisses, hugs or snuggles?
he says: snuggles
she says: why not all three!
What’s your favorite thing to do together?
We love trying new restaurants and eating out – our favorite places are small, family run, hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
Favorite Starbucks drink?
he says: white chocolate mocha (waaay too sweet for Mary!)
she says: i love all frappuccinos!
Your favorite hangout?
our new home, and with family.
One place in the world you must go see?
he says: Paris with my new wife
she says: i can’t pick just one place – but here’s the starting lineup
- Russia, seychelles, scuba dive in australia
What are you looking forward to the most on your wedding day?
he says: sharing in the happiness of the big day!
she says: i can’t wait to see the look on Jason’s face when we see each other for the first time that day. And it’ll be great when we are pronounced “husband and wife”!! And seeing all our family & friends together…this is gonna be a big party!!
This is what happened when I asked Jason to pick Mary up..lol
Jason has a ton of energy…a few examples below! LOL
This is his “signature” look
We stopped at Starbucks for coffee and Jason picked up a cupcake so we had a little fun…
Why not do the ring shot in the icing? 
We are slave drivers ..Jason needed a bit of a nap! LOL
