Congratulations, Jennifer & Jason, and Thank You, Wedding Bells!

Jennifer & Jason’s cross-country romance and wedding has now been published on Wedding Bells at http://www.weddingbells.ca/articles/slideshow/cross-country-romance.  We were so delighted to be able to photograph their engagement session at Jen’s parents’ home in Stouffville and then to be a part of their big day on July 18, 2009.

When we were contacted by Jennifer about the possibility of their wedding being selected to be published by Wedding Bells, we were ecstatic for them and, of course, for NightinGail Photography!

Congratulations again!  We can’t wait to see you when you come back for a visit!

Thank You For Your Support!

As  most of you know (and we so appreciate all of the calls, e-mails and other nice things from from clients, friends and family), my husband and I were involved in a car accident on January 3, 2010.  We were were fortunate and were not seriously hurt.  Of course, Don’s truck got the worst of it — turned out to be a write-off)  There were no other vehicles involved even though we did a couple of 360s from the right hand lane on the 400 going north and ended up into the guardrail facing south in the northbound lane.  Fortunately, there was no other cars near us during the skid.  Black ice is a very very scary experience and even though we were travelling less that 40km per hour due to the conditions, the feeling of having absolutely no control was frightening beyond belief. 

I really want to thank the “good samaritan” in the big black SUV who pulled over to keep other vehicles from running into us.  As well, the OPP officer who was so quick on the scene.  I also really want to publicly thank our tow-truck driver, Rick!  He got us out of the guardrail, hooked up and out of danger very quickly.  (We forgot to tell him the our dog, Leo, was in the cab of the truck) and poor guy – Leo – not Rick, tried to keep him from tying up the steering wheel.  Rick went above and beyond the call of duty by hauling us down to Hwy 9 for the collision reporting centre (at the Park and Ride) – there were a lot of accidents on the 400 on January 3rd.  Instead of dropping us off there and leaving us to our own devices to get home, he drove us home with the truck so we could unload after the New Year’s holiday.  Thanks and big cudos to him and Advanced Towing out of Alliston.

The long and the short of the story – I’ve had whiplash and a concussion (bumped my head on the passenger side window) - and have been unble to really work on any of NightinGail’s outstanding assignments.  I appreciate all of my clients’ understanding about the delays in delivery.  I will be getting back to working on the albums, photo sessions and shoots starting next week.

And on top of this, my mother-in-law is now in the hospital.  She suffered a more severe stroke last Tuesday and is currently resting comfortably at North York General.  She has wonderful nurses and doctors who are doing everything that they can but the prognosis is not good.  She has not been well for some time with limited eyesight and mobility and has suffered a series of small strokes over the past few months.  We are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst which is all we can do at this time.   Your prayers for the family during the next few days and weeks would be most appreciated.

And just because blogs should have photos – and my mother-in-law loves all types of animals — here is Magic (one of my special animal friends from a wedding this summer).. this is for you, Mary Elizabeth!

Going Green For Christmas!

On behalf of NightinGail Photography, we decided this year that we would “go green” for Christmas and not send out paper Christmas or Holiday cards.  So, here is our “green” card for 2009. 

Christmas Card 2009 blog copy

It has been a wonderful year and NightinGail has been extremely excited about working with all of our clients who have become our friends over this past year.   So on behalf of NightinGail (and a fabulous team of second-shooters over this year – Shiri & Michelle, along with our non-shooting assistant, Donald), and of course, me — thank you for your patronage and support. 

We look forward to working with all of our clients again soon!
