I was going to type out this elaborate story about how Laurie & Joel met…but I think the most important thing that I can say about them is that they are truly, deeply in love. It was evident in their very intimate, and emotional (even for me) wedding. There were just a few people present….Laurie & Joel, me, and the officiator. I wish I could express to you how truly special this wedding was…and how moved I was by the love and sincerity I felt during their ceremony.

Here is your peek Laurie & Joel!

Laurie & Joel chose to do a “first look.” This is when they see each other for the first time prior to the ceremony. I loved the look on Joel’s face when he saw Laurie in her gown. It was obvious how beautiful he thought she looked…and she was indeed a STUNNING bride!!!!

I had been looking so forward to this engagement session for weeks…and then we ended up having to reschedule it twice thanks to our lovely weather of recent. We were finally able to get together and the evenings weather could not have been any better. It had poured rain earlier in the day…and it cleared up just in time for our session. The post-rain evening light was SUBLIME! This couple was so fun to work with! We had a really great time, and I absolutely ADORE their images! Stay tuned for their wedding later this summer.

PS! Nadia – you are a freakin’ BABE!

And no…I didn’t use any off camera flash for this shot. That is 100% natural light!

It was a sweet alley!

This past weekend I had the most fabulous engagement session with Jennifer & Brett (see their wedding this coming Spring). I spent most of the day with this awesome couple talking, laughing hysterically, and driving all over the city on the most beautiful day as we shot their photos. Brett is a never-ending fountain of unbelievably interesting knowledge (seriously – ask him just about anything!), and Jennifer is the sweetest, funnest (is that a word?), most laid back, beautiful girl!

They met in a Chapters book store when they went for the same book. After Jennifer took Brett’s number so she could “lend the book to him” when she was done with it, they got together for drinks – and the rest is history!  They are a very creative couple and their e-session was a special one! It was well planned out with some fabulous locations, and some awesome moments!! We hit some super rockin’ locations including the closed set of the movie The Assassination of Jesse James that boasted a fabulous view of the mountains, a privately owned underground museum, Brett’s family ranch, and the charming area of Inglewood. I enjoyed every minute of this session and I’m super excited to share some of their photos with you.

Thanks for a FABULOUS day you guys! I hope you like your sneak-a-peek!

I had a fabulous session this past week when I met Trevor & Rebecca in Banff to take their engagement photos (stay tuned for their wedding this spring). I had an amazing time with them, and as you can see they were very natural in front of the camera. I did consider wrestling Rebecca for her gorgeous scarf (isn’t it fabulous?!), but other than my slight envy of her great outfit – our session went smoothly.

Here is a peek at their photos. There were SO many I loved that I had a really hard time choosing which ones to share. These ones made my top picks…so far.

I’ve known Jess for a long time, so it was amazing to get together with her and her fiance…and to see how crazy they are about each other.  I’m so excited for them, but I’m devastated that I’m going to be away on holidays when they tie the knot this spring so I won’t be able to do their wedding photos!

  I was very sad when I found out that our dates conflicted. I know they’ll have a fabulous wedding day though, and I can’t wait to see their beautiful photos. Jess will make a SPECTACULAR bride!

Anyway, enjoy your peek guys!

Remember my adorable little sister who I used to force to model for me endlessly? Well…guess whaaaaaat?????


That’s right. She’s engaged! Think of the fun I’m going to have with these two & my camera!!

I was lucky enough to be in on the little secret her fiance Brady put together, so I was able to photograph the entire event. There was some secret preparation and then yesterday we all headed out to take some photographs of the two of them together. We ended up downtown at the Public Library and wandered through it to see if there were any good spots for some indoor photos (it was freezing). We split off to explore; I took the bottom three floors and they took the top. When we met back up on the 3rd floor of the library (they met on the 3rd floor of their school’s library) Kandice noticed a row of books with strange looking colored dots on them. Inside those books she found photos of her and her now fiance Brady starting from when they first met, up until this past week. The last photo in the last book was a beautiful photo of a diamond ring (yes, I took it) and when she looked up from the photograph Brady was on his knee with the same ring in a tiny little brown box. Needless to say she was stunned, emotional and very excited!

I must give Koodos to Brady for his creativity, and to all of us for braving yesterdays freezing temperatures!

Here is a small collage of the proposal as it happened, and some fun photos we did afterwards.

This amazing couple braved unbelievably cold weather for our session! I’m sure they nearly got frost bite braving the weather without their jackets on, but we got some awesome shots and the light was beautiful! Here are some of my faves from their session.

My favorite!!! I LOVE this photo.

After working with Cody & Sophie back in June to do their engagement photos, I was really looking forward to photographing their wedding a couple of months later. They were absolutely fabulous to work with the first time, and the second time was just as much a pleasure! As you can see, Sophie made a STUNNING bride and Cody looked very dashing in his Black & White tux. They are definately a very classy couple and so very much in love!

Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding day.

A big congratulations to Derek & Katie! I had a fabulous time shooting their wedding back in July and was assisted by my fabulous sister Kandice who is a very promising photographer! 
Derek & Katie make a beautiful couple and they made my job extremely easy on their big day. You can feel how much they love each other just by being around them.  AND…a fun surprise for me on their wedding day – the grooms sister is an old friend of mine! Small world!  Very fun!

Here is a sneak a peek of their special day….. Katie – you made a STUNNING Bride!!!

Rob & Elyse’s wedding day had finally arrived and friends and family gathered around the Cardston temple, eagerly awaiting their grand appearance as husband and wife. The weather was perfect, the bride was beautiful, and everyone wore smiles, including me! Rob & Elyse have been such a pleasure to photograph. The first time I took Elyse’s pictures she had just started dating Rob. She looked beautiful at her photo shoot, and was excited to go see him after we were finished shooting. Here we are one year later! It’s been so much fun to have had a small part in capturing some beautiful moments with them!  They had a beautiful wedding with amazing colors, and reception details that took your breath away. Elyse makes a STUNNING bride, and Rob a very dashing groom! And, as you can tell – these two are so incredibly in love! I think the photos speak for themselves…..here is a peek at their special day. 

 

Rob & Elyse, thank you for sharing your special day with me! I had a fabulous time, and have so enjoyed capturing this special part of your lives.
