Michelle and Shaun decided to stay in the Bahamas for their honeymoon for 3 weeks!! Lucky ducks! I don’t blame them at all for not wanting to be in Calgary in the middle of winter. When they did come back, we were finally able to get together to see their wedding photos. Michelle told me she had not seen any photos from their wedding yet, even from their guests. I was more than thrilled that my photos were the first ones they would see. I had to get some tissue ready for Michelle. Love it when that happens.
Michelle and Shaun had their ceremony in the amazing St. Mary’s Cathedral close to downtown Calgary. I have never shot inside this church before but heard so many good things about it. As soon as I walked in, I looked over at Alicia and said “right on”. There was tons of natural light flooding in from everywhere and the ceiling was just plain awesome. It’s definitely one of the nicer churches in Calgary. The ceremony was a wonderful ceremony attended by many family and close friends.
Once the ceremony was over, Alicia and I decided we would shoot some of our creative portraits right inside the church. It was a setting that had to be taken advantage of. Afterwards, we headed to the Calgary Petroleum Club in downtown Calgary. We shot as many photos as we could without freezing. The windchill on this day was just bitter cold. The Petroleum Club was also a great setting for me to finish of our portraits as Alicia went off and shot wicked details photos of the club.
Alicia Price assisted me on this wedding as Ryan was away on a destination wedding of his own in Mexico.
Thanks, Michelle and Shaun, for trusting us with your special day. I am very lucky to have met such a beautiful couple like yourselves. You both are the reason why I love my job so much. You were so easy to work with because it’s obvious how much you both love and respect each other. I would love to go to another Flames game with you guys before the little one arrives and takes up all your time. What an huge year 2010 is going to be for you both. I am so blessed to have been the one chosen to photograph and create these memories for you for the rest of your lives. I can’t wait to meet the little “mini me”. Congrats again!!
