Nearly 1 month ago my two friends Ryan and Joy got married.
Here are some photos that I took while getting ready for the event: http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgevnoucek//sets/72157613299173748
And here are some photos that Carolyn took while getting ready with the bride: http://flickr.com/photos/carolyn_welch/sets/72157613267588165/

On the road again
The big day has come and gone, and another 'vnoucek' e-mail address has been registered. After all the stress and last-minute scrambling the wedding day was a huge success. Sometime this month I suspect our photographer will post some wedding photos, so check his blog out from time to time: http://justindemersblog.com/.
Now we are on our honeymoon, heading west to meet our destiny. The new car is packed (oh yeah, I meant to post about that! It's a 2009 Matrix!) and we're making a pitstop at my parents before hitting the border. We hope to post some pictures along the way but we make no promises.
See you in September!

Life on the other side of the lens
Last week Carolyn and I had an engagement photo shoot with our wedding photographer. It allowed us to get a feel for how he works, and we will also be getting a photo album out of it (that matches our wedding album). The only thing I specified was that we wanted the photos to be 'naturey', so we ended up in mosquito-infested Forks of the Credit Provincial Park. It was actually the first time we got to do any hiking this year so for that alone it was great. When it came time to do the photos it was a bit awkward at first but once we learned to ignore the cameras and just concentrate on ourselves it was pretty fun. I think we spent about 3-4 hours walking around and taking photos.
Here is a link to some of the photos.
Thanks to Justin and Michelle for an awesome evening.

Out with the old...
And in with the new, of course! It's a brand new year with fresh opportunities, and I'm excited to take full advantage. I didn't take too many photographs over the Christmas break, but here are two experimental ones.
Carolyn and I awoke on the First of January to find the Earth draped in a fluffy coat of fresh New Year snow, so we slipped into our snow gear (long johns and snow pants!), strapped on our cameras, and ventured out into the wilderness (after first shovelling the foot of snow from our driveway of course).
We headed first to Doon Valley, in search of Sheave Tower - which, we found out is not in Doon Valley. We found a community trail and traversed into the forest. The walk was lovely and peaceful; we had the path mostly to ourselves, mind a few friendly cross-country skiers and walkers getting a start on their resolutions.
It was only much later that we discovered we had headed straight for the sewage treatment plant. Not so romantic.
Here is a cropped image of a staghorn sumac or rhus typhina.
We then headed to the other side of the 401 to the other Old Mill Rd, which eventually led us to Sheave Tower. This is an old tower which harnessed the energy from the river to power the adjacent Blair Mill. It had been in operation from 1876 to the 1940s (I think), but has since been restored. It's tucked away in the woods and you might miss it while driving by if not for the flash of red. It provided some nice contrast for our photos.
Finally, we went to the Waterlot in New Hamburg, which is where Carolyn and I will be getting married in August. Here is the gazeebo where the ceremony will take place.
Here is a photo of the water wheel across the Nith River (desaturated).
We had a wonderful day and a great start to 2008. Lots of pictures and lots of fun. Here's to a prosperous year for everyone.
