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!

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.
