Paula & Mike- Fall Wedding 2012

I've known Paula for a few years now, we met through our mutual friend, Steph. In fact, Steph set these two up a few years ago as they were both coming out of unhappy relationships...and guess what?
They 'clicked' instantly! Although I know that blended families can have tough beginnings, they can certainly also have sweet endings.

And that brings us to September. 15, 2012...the big day...

Paula was stunning in her gorgeous flowy dress and I loved the bright green accents that that they incorporated with shoes and ties. Super fun group, full of energy and laughter, it was a great day!

Mike & Paula, congratulations on this new journey- you both deserve happiness and acceptance. I wish you all the best, and I'm grateful to have had the chance to capture your beautiful day.

Enjoy...

Graham & Erin Okotoks Wedding...

This has to be hands down one of the funniest groups I've ever shot. 

It's rare that you meet a bunch of friends who have been through all of life's pivotal moments and this group has. They've all known each other since elementary school and relate in such an intimate way that as a photographer, it was glorious to witness.

Erin & Graham- you two are truly a union that many would envy...the respect, awe and love that you share is infectious. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful day and I wish you both all the love & blessings that a marriage brings.

Congratulations...here's a sneak peek of your day.

Jessica & Sean E-session

It's shaping up to be a great summer! Beautiful weather, lazy mornings and a few upcoming weddings with some fabulous couples.

Jessica and Sean found me through Edward Ross Photography- in fact he just shot her good friends wedding in Mexico. Lucky bum.

Although we live in different cities, and we've been communicating through emails & phone calls and have only met once for their engagement photoshoot, I just KNOW it's going to be a special kind of wedding. 

Jessica's laugh and sense of humour is infectious and although it took a little bit of prodding and teasing, Sean definitely came out of his 'shell' throughout our session.

Looking forward to your upcoming wedding & celebration in Edmonton guys!!

Vanessa & Christian...

Vanessa and I met a few months ago when I picked up a part time job at the foothills hospital, orthopaedic unit. It isn't often that I run into another 'Vanessa' so if that wasn't enough to get us chatting, I soon found out that she was also a photographer & very passionate about her work as well. 

I was absolutely thrilled  when she asked me if I would shoot her wedding....it isn't often that you get to work with someone so creative and who totally understands the in's and out's of what works and what doesn't...so to speak.

The wedding itself was a beautiful, intimate event with very close friends and family in attendance. Although I have only known the couple for a short period of time, there is no doubt in my mind, after hearing all the beautiful remarks from their family and friends that these two have something very rare and special.

Congratulations you two, I hope theses images allow others to get a taste of the many dynamics that you two share. 

Much more to come...

Erin & Graham E-Session

What a fabulously fun & vibrant couple these two were!!

Erin & Graham, I had such a great time shooting this session and getting to know the two of you better. I love that you ran in the same circles for years, but never knew that the other existed! It was only until a few years ago when you (re)met, connected your pasts, and realized that you had gone to the same schools and shared some of the same friends.

Great story...your kids will love it.

Looking forward to August when you'll be making this 'official'...enjoy the preview guys, I'll be in touch soon and set you up with the full gallery!
