Monn & Britt…Ceremony number 2

September 22, 2009

Remember Monn & Britt?  They are an awesome couple, and they gave me the opportunity to capture not one, but two wedding ceremonies for them!  The first one a posted a few weeks back, and now I am posting their second, canadian ceremony.  It was a lot of fun to work with you guys again, and even though we only had a short time frame, we got some great shots!  I wish you many blessings, and that you will (in good time) be able to grace the blog once again – so far you hold the record of 3 ceremonies that you have been a part of! Enjoy your shots!

Uncle Martin

April 27, 1943 – August 20, 2009

Uncle Martin was a father, a grandfather, an uncle, a brother, a farmer, and a man of God.  He was born in The Netherlands, grew up on the family farm in Canada, and started farming on his own when he was a young man.  He married and raised a family of 4 wonderful children, and enjoyed spending time with his grandkids and travelling, as well as being on the farm.

The times that any family came to visit were special and when Uncle Martin and family came it was no exception, as we enjoyed many conversations and laughs.  I will always remember his sense of humour and his distinctly insatiable laugh, when you heard him laugh you could not help but laugh yourself.  I will also never forget his hands – they were the biggest, strongest hands I have ever seen, and yet they were imperfect, as he was missing a thumb.  Despite this fact, he wouldn’t let this hinder him in any way, and he could accomplish anything he wanted.

Uncle Martin, you will be missed by the many people you laughed with, cried with, and share memories with over your 66 years here with us.  You will not be forgotten, and we look forward to laughing with you again someday!
