Simply. Amazing.

Clearing my head

Sara Wilde — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:42:32 +0000

Feeling a little stressed, anxious, nervous, and just stuck. The best thing someone can do is WALK. IT. OFF. Thankfully I have a hubby that reminds me that this DOES work.

Just down the street we went for a little walk of our own. The snow was falling, sun was setting and the light was perfect. Me, the hubster and my telephoto. Love the muted colours and simplicity of the photos that came out of this walk, and of course, the weight lifted off my shoulders and the clarity I needed to keep on moving forward.

Stay warm!

Just one frame: Darcy + Nadia

Anticipation. The build up. The moment before you see the love of your life.
The snow just started to fall around Darcy and Nadia for their first look.
No one felt the cold…the warmth we all felt that day was amazing.

A Very Wilde Christmas

Sara Wilde — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 22:25:49 +0000

It isn’t a Christmas with my siblings without us trying to jam ourselves into a staircase for a group photo. Next year, we’ll have to REALLY stay true to the one on the left…I couldn’t remember exactly what it looked like, but we tried to recreate it as best as we could.

And of course…the making of (including adding my dad into the mix!)

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and was filled with laughter – as ours definitely was!!

Happy Holidays!

What an amazing amazing AMAZING year! It’s been a whirlwind of awesomeness. Truly. I feel like I’ve really grown as a photographer and cannot WAIT to see what 2012 has in store for me.

From workshops, to first engagement shoots, little ones to being featured for the first time on amazing blog, and all the amazingness in between, I want to wish ALL my clients, past, present and future Happy Holidays!

I really need to also thank all of my family and friends for being super supportive this past year. Working two full-time jobs is extremely hard work, but I love every second of it, and I love you all for being amazingly patient with me!

Oh and the photos? They’re ornaments off of my tree. The one on the left is the ornament I got to hang as a child and my mom recently gave it to me! The creepy Santa? He was lonely at Value Village and obviously a keeper. I mean, he’s wearing falsies. Give the guy a break.

Wishing you all a lifetime of laughter + love,
Sara

Oleks + Darren: Engaged!

Sara Wilde — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:00:33 +0000

I met Oleks in University. She is not only crazy talented in Graphic Design, but in photography as well! So when she asked me to shoot her wedding…wow. I was ecstatic!

When working with these two, it was just so amazingly comfortable! I cannot WAIT for their wedding. It’s going to be as intense as the colours we got on this gorgeous fall day. Oleks made the headband herself, the jacket is from Anthropologie and her ring? Oh so delicious and vintage. And REMEMBER how they brought a FALCON to the shoot? Yea. That’s right.

This was also my LAST session of 2011! What a kick-arse way to end such an awesome-sauce of a year…

Vicky + Ryan: Photobooth

Sara Wilde — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:40:04 +0000

At Vicky + Ryan’s wedding, we set up a pretty kick arse photobooth. Vicky made all the props herself and the backdrop!

EVERYONE loved it. Of all ages.

There are tons of hilarious photos…and when I say tons, I mean OVER 400.

Here’s a few that definitely made me laugh or smile.

Vicky + Ryan: Married!

Sara Wilde — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:28:37 +0000

WARNING: There is a LOT of photos in this post. How could I put my camera away when every single detail was so well-thought out, planned so carefully, and just sooooo crazily executed? I was a part of Ryan and Vicky’s wedding – not as a photographer, but a bridesmaid. I can tell you from experience, how much PLANNING this was. And I wasn’t going to put my camera down to NOT to capture it. (Don’t worry! The photographer’s they hired were able to do their job. I only had my camera in hand when they weren’t around.)

I met Vicky in University and she is the most multi-talented person I know. You can check out her amazing work on her site, and of course the details below! I think she caught the wedding bug and hopefully is going to venture into doing event design / props / details / ETC.!!!

The napkins were all sewn by Vicky, different patterns, but all in her colors. Yellow for the girls, grey for the boys.

Her now mother-in-law made all the girls bridesmaid dresses, the boys their ties and pocket squares…and of course, Jonah’s (Vicky and Ryan’s dog) their bow-tie. The guys suits? Thanks to our mutual pal Chris who just started his own menswear service!

There were hand painted signs on salvaged barn board from Ryan’s grandfather’s barn. That same wood? The boys made a bar out of as well. And a podium. And benches for the lounge area.

Chicken feeders were used as plant stands. Milk pails as hanging lights.

In the middle of everything? A tree with hundreds of little flowers glued on, and if you looked close enough, you would see two little love birds…sitting in a tree. I’m sure you know the rest of THAT song…

How about I stop my typing yammering, because I could go on and let’s get to the photos:

Vicky’s Grandmother’s engagement ring was sewn into her wedding gown secretly by her mom. She didn’t know it until her mom gave her speech that night…soooo super sweet and touching!

Uhm. Keyholes on the bottom of these amazing heels? Awesome.

Thanks for being the greatest pals a girl could ask for. AMAZING. WEDDING!! xoxo
