Lisa & Jordan had their wedding at the Valley Ridge Golf Course in NW Calgary in July. My good friend and photographer, Alicia Price, came out and helped me cover their wedding. We started the day at Jordan and Lisa’s house in Copperfield. There we photographed Jordan and his groomsmen getting ready. Soon after that we headed over to the new and luxurious Hotel Le Germain, in downtown Calgary. When we arrived, we entered a suite that was buzzing excitement. All of Lisa’s bridesmaids were there and so was her mother. The suite was a beautiful room, which helped make my job a lot easier.
The wedding coverage on this day wouldn’t be the traditional kind of coverage that we were used to. Instead, the wedding ceremony was right before the wedding reception at the golf course, so that meant all the photos would happen before the ceremony. I asked Lisa & Jordan in advanced, what they thought of doing a first look. They loved the idea, so when Jordan and his boys arrived, it was time to get it on. We used the back alley behind the Hotel Le Germain for the first look. We set them up and then let them do their thing. The photos we captured say it all.
We hung around downtown Calgary and the hotel for all of their creative wedding photos. We didn’t have to go far at all to find inspiration.
The weather was perfect all day and it was not any different when we got to the Valley Ridge Golf Course. The wedding ceremony was held outside.
Congratulations L&J! I am honored to have been the one to create these photos for you. I really believe some of the photos we made are quite emotionally powerful. It really shows your intense love for each other. Good luck in Kamloops, Lisa!

The first time I met Maya & Zaafir, it was on skype. Maya & Zaafir live in Palo Alto, CA where they both attended Stanford University, but they originally met at Princeton University. Zaafir is from here in Calgary and Maya was born in Kentucky in the U.S. They decided to have their wedding here in Calgary at the Sheraton Eau Claire. I immediately liked them when we had our video chat and couldn’t wait to meet them. The second time we met was for their e-session in Kananaskis. Their connection with each other during that session made my job really easy. I knew that on the wedding day it wouldn’t be hard to get great photos of them. On this day I had my friend Alicia Price come out and help me shoot M&Z’s wedding.
The wedding was a grand fusion of Hindu and Ismaili traditions. The day started with Maya getting ready for their Hindu ceremony, which was first. Maya was adorned in a traditional Indian sari and lots of gold. Alicia stayed with Maya while I went downstairs to meet up with Zaafir and do his getting ready photos. Once they were done getting ready, we did the first look in the sky walk that was attached to the Sheraton Eau Claire. I love doing first looks! After the first look it was time for the traditional Hindu ceremony. Once the ceremony was completed we went and did photos of M&Z around the Sheraton before heading back up to the hotel room to get ready for the Ismaili part of the day. We did more getting ready photos of M&Z, but this one was more traditional when it comes to North American weddings. Maya slipped into her beautiful wedding dress and we had a ball photographing her. She looked absolutely beautiful and cameras were clicking away like crazy. Once they were ready, we did another first look so Zaafir could see Maya in her white dress. We immediately went and shot more photos of the couple afterwards and then met up with their wedding party.
Thank you Maya & Zaafir for your trust on your big day. We really feel honored to have been a part of your wedding. We really loved your connection with each other and we’re so proud of the photos we have created for you. I wish you all the best and please do let me know when you are back in town so we can hang out again. I will do the same if I am ever in San Francisco.

When I met Lori and Clay to plan their e-session, they both mentioned they owned a sail boat. They asked me what I thought about shooting their session on their boat. My first reaction was… are you kidding me? I would love to!! And so we did. We headed out to Ghost Lake just west of Calgary for their engagement session. Clay is quite the serious sailor. He was throwing sailing jargons that would be equal to me saying bokeh, TTL and crop factor. In other words, I had no idea what he was saying but it sounded super cool. The day was a picture perfect summer day. The boat presented a unique challenge for me. There wasn’t a lot of room to maneuver, while holding on and shooting at the same time. But it was fun none the less and L&C really made me feel welcomed on their kick ass sail boat.

Back in July, we drove out from Calgary to the Rimrock Resort in beautiful Banff, AB to photograph the wedding of Tiffany and Joe. The Rimrock is an amazing hotel situated on the side of a mountain. In fact the main lobby is on the 7th floor of the hotel. The wedding photography was nice and smooth as everything took place right on the Rimrock Resort property. We did our usual prep coverage as both the bride and groom’s rooms were a buzz with excitement and anticipation. Shooting Joe was nice and quick. It took him only 5 minutes to get ready! Of course that is typical of most grooms. There was much more going on in Tiffany’s room when we arrived there. Tiffany was just getting the final touches of make up done and then it was time for her to get into her stunning dress and her Jimmy Choo’s.
The ceremony took place outside on the lawn, with splendid views of The Rocky Mountains behind them. It was a picture perfect day with no rain in sight. The ceremony was short and sweet. After Tiffany and Joe signed their legal documents, they did their patented kiss in front of all the guest which drew cheers and applause. After the ceremony we took photos of the wedding party on site and soon after that, we whisked Tiffany and Joe away for their photos at Vermillion Lakes, which of course was stunning!
When we got back to the Rimrock, it was time for the tea ceremony which was pretty quick and then it was party time! Our digital Calgary photo booth, the Hoot Booth once again made at an appearance at this wedding and the guests were using it all night non stop.
Thank you Tiffany and Joe for trusting us with your big day. I now see why you chose the Rimrock for your wedding. It was spectacular! Congratulations!

Cindy and Dean had a super intimate wedding at the Outback Resort in Vernon, BC. We flew out from Calgary to join Cindy, Dean and their friends and family day the before wedding. As soon as we arrived at the resort, we were in awe of how beautiful it was. Cindy and Dean looked long and hard for a location like this for their wedding. They weren’t kidding when they told me this place was one of a kind. Their group has rented out several of these million dollar cabins, that were precariously built right on the cliffs, overlooking Okanagan Lake. Some of these cabins had floor to ceiling windows, with an unbelievable view of the lake and mountains.
The ceremony was held on a little sandy beach just below the main cabin where the reception for 30 people was held. Ryan and I ran around capturing every single angle we could here. We had so many places where we could get high, far and close to get great vantage points and angles.
Naturally, we did all the wedding photography right on the Outback Resort site. With so many nooks, crannies and beautiful scenery it was a no brainer. After we finished the photography, we went back to the main cabin where there were games and of course, a stunning dinner. The meal was served up by a private chef who cooked some of the dishes right on site. We both feel very fortunate to add this experience to our wedding photography careers. It was truly something very special and different. I loved the intimacy of this kind of wedding. We got to hang out with Cindy & Dean’s friends and family for a total of 3 days and it was fantastic. We felt honored to have been part of the group of 30 people to have witness their wedding.
Thanks for having us at your wedding. I am thrilled you love your photos! I look forward to some Battle of Alberta trash talking.
