today i shot a beautiful wedding in central alberta with a couple who had a lovely vintage-flair to their day. the weather was bitter cold and windy but the wedding party was super cooperative and made shooting a real pleasure.

i photographed a lovely wedding yesterday that really got me in the fall spirit. The decor, dresses and flowers really captured the beauty of the season. the weather, which is always a factor in alberta (hot or cold) only cooperated for a few hours but we were able to get the portraits done before the gale-force winds took over!
the bride was so photogenic - she has the perfect smile!
these ladies look like they are coming in for a group hug but they are really huddling to stay warm!!
updates and add-ons
a quick update about the fall family mini sessions ... they are full for another year. the response was great and i thank all of you for getting in touch with me and being more than patient in waiting for my responses. so now all we do is wait ... and hope for more beautiful weather!
this is one of their super soft bamboo/silk diapers
the last part of my post today is an add-on from the wedding on the weekend - i wanted to post a couple of shots with the little and not-so-little ones who were part of the wedding party - and whose mom introduced the couple to my work!
dana & trevor 09.19.09
yesterday I was lucky enough to spend the day capturing photos of dana & trevor's beautiful wedding. the day perfect with only a few threatening clouds and the occasional gust of wind. the ceremony was held out in a park under a lovely giant tree and there is nothing I love more than an outdoor wedding.
the girls got ready at the bride's parent's place - a beautiful home and ideal for photos!
the bride was stunning - i know it sounds cliche - but it is true!
i loved this moment between mother and daughter
such a nice location and i love this tree
the ceremony was heart-felt and beautiful
this was a cute moment as the groom worked to get the ring on his bride!
we had some amazing photo locations - new favourites, for sure!
trevor was working the camera for this one! this is what i got when i asked the groom to stand in the doorway - it pays to be specific!!
he was much more in his element here!
did i mention that the bride was stunning? ... just checking!
the rest of the wedding party didn't look too bad either!
and check out those smiles ...
that, my friends, is true love! congrats dana & trevor!
wynne & derek
had a great day with this newlywed couple yesterday. their wedding day was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for better conditions - especially the slightly overcast skies that made shooting a breeze!
i took some creative license on this shot of the engagement ring
loved the big open room for this one - thanks sarah!
wynne was a stunning bride!
the bride's brother-in-law did a beautiful ceremony for the couple
the wedding car was a lovely vintage touch
the wedding party was looking super sharp - and love this location (this is my second time shooting here)
and the couple looked pretty good, too!
o.k., gorgeous!
and definitely handsome!
the guests was entertained by the band Five on the Side - a band that includes two members from the wedding party and the groom.
it was a pleasure shooting this wedding - all the best to you, Wynne and Derek!
stephanie & shawn
these two were blessed with some beautiful weather for their spring wedding. it was a great day, the couple was beautiful and the scenery was equally inspiring!
tamara & kevin
these two were married in sunny mexico last month and had their reception today in chilly alberta. however, the weather did cooperate to the extent that we were able to shoot outside - even though the wedding party were clearly dressed for warmer temperatures!
such great details - my personal favourite was the candy favour table!
and check out the great cake!
it was a bit of a struggle trying to find a backdrop with the brown, barren vegetation but the motorcycle was a nice accessory!
i loved the bouquet - and the most incredible thing about it is that ... it is the same one she had in mexico ... packed it home and all. how you ask?! the flowers are not real! trust me, it looks very believable - even feels real - amazing!
thanks kevin & tamara for inviting me to capture your wedding photos!
megan & dustin
shot a gorgeous wedding on a surprisingly beautiful fall day yesterday. the ceremony was outside at a cabin and was an amazing location. the weather cooperated too by being a little bit sunny to keep everyone warm and a little bit cloudy to keep the photographer happy!!
check out the gorgeous silk dress!
just before heading out to the ceremony
love this moment!
after the ceremony we headed out around the property to get a few shots of the bridal party
can you tell they are sisters?!
quite a good lookin' group, but the bride, she was stunning!
there was a bit of a 'john deere' theme going on for the wedding!
a lovely end to a beautiful day! congrats to you both, megan and dustin!
a big thanks to Brock Kryton for coming to shoot the wedding with me! check out his work - it's fabulous and i can't wait to see his stuff from yesterday!
