Elisa and Tyler's Wedding

And finally, I have finally had a chance to put together a few photos from Elisa and Tyler's wedding in Bonnyville, Alberta. I have been to more small Alberta towns in the last 3 months than I have in my last 27 years! I just shot a wedding this weekend in Ponoka, and next weekend I am shooting my cousins wedding in Nordegg, Alberta!  At least the out of town weddings keep me away from the Legislative Grounds.

Here are a couple photos from Bonnyville. Greg tagged along to second shoot with me that weekend and did a fine job! I included one of his shots below - second last - a fantastic candid!

Finally! Danielle and Greg's Wedding

Finally, I found the time to put together a new blog post! I've been so busy this last three weeks I haven't been able to blog my weddings as soon as I would like. I'm pretty positive there are engagement sessions that I haven't even blogged at all either - no offense to those clients who haven't been posted, i've just been busy.  With so many out of town weddings recently it really eats up my editing time.

The photos below are from Danielle and Gregs kick ass wedding a couple weeks ago. The ceremony and formals took place at the Devonian Botanical Gardens which is always a nice treat. 

There are only a few photos down below, and I cheated by including two of the same photos I showed Danielle and Greg on the day of their wedding. 

I might decide to post a few more shots from their wedding soon, but you can also look forward to photos from Saturdays wedding from Bonnyville.

Enjoy!

Friday night engagement shoot!

Hey blog readers!  Tonight I headed out to shoot some engagements photos for clients of mine who were actually pointed my way by a client of mine from a couple years ago. Scott, if you're out there I owe you dinner! It turned out to be a quick shoot, but as usual, those who have been photographed by me will know that a little physical work was still in order. My liability insurance probably doesn't cover me when having my clients tiptoe on unstable rocks along the north saskatchewan. But I do it anyways.

Below are a few photos. I didn't have enough time to go through any others as I am working on editing another wedding at the moment.

Thanks for visiting!

Here's a shot of my photographer in training, Erin. We arrived an hour early to go over some things and mess around with our cameras. Check out her website in progress at, www.secretagenterin.ca.

Melanie and Bens Engagment Photos

This weekend I headed out to Menaik for Melanie and Bens engagement photo session. The locations was Bens family farm, which is where they will live their life together when married. Melanie and Ben were a lot of fun to photograph, and because they practiced before hand it made my job a lot easier.

I experimented quite a bit with my two new lenses, the 50mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.8. On a few photos I also experimented with a little sun flare which i'm really started to like the kind of look it gives - that low contrast california sun drenched look - aka Abercrombie/American Eagle.

Take a look at some of the photos below and remember you can click each photo to see a larger version of it.

Kaeley and Davids Lac La Biche Wedding

Friday night Lindsey and I made our way to Lac La Biche, Alberta for Kaeley and Davids lakeside wedding. When shooting out of town weddings I always worry about these small towns. You never know what to expect.  Lac La Biche turned out to be a charming small town, and the wedding locations was stunning and suited the very laid back bride and groom.

The first image below was pure luck. We had decided to grab some breakfast at Squirrelys Restaurant before we began our day at the Salon. A last minute decision, and lack of time led us to A&W where we accidentally found this sign. No word of a lie, this is not a fancy photoshop job where the letters were added in.

Take a look at a couple more photos below. I encourage you to click the image to get a better view.

Happy Victoria Day everyone!

This weekend I officially kicked off my wedding season with Emily and Michael's wedding. We started off at Avanti Hair Salon and ended with the reception at the Derrick Golf and Country Club. The days flowers were provided by Kim at Best Buds Flowers, and if anyone can tell me who was responsible for that wedding cake I need to know! With a thirty-degree day in May, it wasn't a bad day to get started!

Below are a few teasers from the day. Sometime in the next two weeks i'll be sending out another notice to a gallery of the entire day.

You can click the images below to view a larger version if you like. You should be able to get a decent 4 x 6 print from the larger file. Just remember to tell people who took the photo!

Sometimes my accidental photos turn out to be some of my favorites. This photo was taken at Avanti Hair Salon when they team of girls were attempting to attach the veil. 

With a couple this good looking and bright and sunny day it makes my job so much easier!

The simple cakes are always my favorites, and this one was definitely one of the best tasting wedding cakes i've ever had.

Photo:Lindsey, Baby George, Mothers Day baby shoot

This Saturday my pal Erin took Lindsey and I out for some engagement photos. She wanted the practice and we needed photos. Once I get them, i'll post a link to them here on my blog. I was toting my camera around that day so I took a few shots of my Fiance, Lindsey and later in the day I took a few photos of George as well.

Last year I shot Greg and Lyndsays wedding, and this year they asked me to photograph their four month old baby boy Graham.  I don't photograph babies all that often but for the most part I think they turned out great!
