Just thought I'd share one picture of this gorgeous bride from a wedding on Saturday.  Yeah, the groom's not too shabby either!  I love seeing people all done up!

September 22, 2009 // Wedding
I met Jason and Carolyn at a get together in Calgary.  They were engaged and planning their "New York comes to the country" wedding for the upcoming summer to be held at Carolyn's parents home near Carman, Manitoba.  I was thrilled to be chosen as their photographer for this unique event.  Every detail was carefully chosen, from the chaise lounge chairs near the bar, to the peacock feather centre pieces, to the chandeliers hung above the tables.  It was an evening no one will soon forget.  

Congratulations Carolyn and Jason, and thank you for choosing me to document your day!

I LOVE how you caught the look on Jason's face when he saw Carolyn coming down the aisle...almost made ME want to cry! And the best man yawning - too funny

So life is slightly more than a little bit crazy right now.  Amidst all the weddings, engagement sessions, family sessions, child sessions, maternity sessions, back to school sessions, and newborn sessions, I am also in the process of building a new house, searching to buy a comfortable car (all this driving is bringing out the worst in the hyundai!), going to Seattle next week for a mentorship session, and going to Edmonton next weekend for a wedding.  Oh, and somewhere in there I need to try (and trying doesn't always mean succeeding  unfortunately) to also be a good friend, sister, daughter, grand daughter, and wife!  

That said, I am making a huge, HUGE effort to make sure everyone's photos are finished when they should be finished, but hope that everyone will understand if this doesn't quite happen.  As much as I want to be on time, I also want to deliver a quality product.  I appreciate everyone's patience more than words can express!  It's been a whirlwind of a year, and for my first year as a full time photographer I'm still learning exactly how much I should take on at once! 

Here's a little sneak peek of an engagement session I had with Kerry and Sheila last week.  Just one pic to wet your appetite!

Thanks for stopping by!

September 13, 2009 // Engagement
The day of Brian and Angie's Engagement session was a little gift from Mother Nature!  I had a session booked with their good friends Al and Layne the day before, that was rained out, as was Al and Layne's rain date the day after.  But for Brian and Angie, the sun shone and there was only a few wispy white clouds in the sky.  Perfection.

Here's a few images from their day, and a little slideshow to go with it!!

Those are some really great pictures of you guys. I think the tenth one is my favourite, though...the setting is just beautiful and you guys look so comfotable together. It's like neither of you knew the camera was actually there.
