Alicia & Ray,  Just Us Session, Calgary Photographers

Alicia & Ray had Just Us Session with me here in Calgary.  They are already married but wanted some photos of themselves done by yours truly.  I am always more than happy to work for couples who want me to photograph them!  We had a ton of fun shooting on this day.  We had to reschedule due to weather, but we did finally get a nice day.  We started at Olympic Plaza and stayed around downtown for the rest of the session.

I rarely blog things that are not wedding photography related.  But I have to share this.  Emma & Destini are my nieces.  They have been enrolled in dance since they were very young.  In the last year they have moved to a new studio here in Calgary called Airborne Dance Centre.  Their mothers rave about this studio and how they finally have  found a studio with instructors who are dedicated to excellence.  The girls have always been good dancers.  But since joining this studio, they have really become great dancers.   I have always attended recitals and competitions whenever I could.  Many times it was cute to watch them, but that was about it.  After seeing their first show with Airborne, my jaw was on the floor.  You could immediately see the difference.  I knew I had to photograph them.  And that’s what we did.

Jessica and Mark met me near downtown Calgary in Inglewood for their Sunday evening engagement photo session.  They showed up dressed for success and we walked around Inglewood for a good hour and half having a blast.  Once we exhausted our options in Inglewood, we decided it was time to make use of the red chaise that they had brought.  I figured we needed to go somewhere where we could enjoy the sun set over the Calgary city skyline and mountains.  I knew of the perfect spot for such an occasion.   Jessica and Mark are getting married in less than 2 weeks at the beautiful Summerhill Winery in Kelowna.  We can’t wait to go there and photograph their Kelowna destination wedding and see what we can create together!

I flew down from Calgary to Las Vegas, Nevada a few days ago for WPPI.  While I was there I met up with Kelly & Joey, who booked me to photograph their wedding in Calgary in July.  Joey lives in Henderson, NV just outside of Sin City.  It was Kelly’s last day in NV before having to go back to Calgary just a few hours after the engagement session ended.  Before I came down, I told Joey I had always wanted to shoot in the desert and the dry lake bed near by.  I am so glad they were ok with that, because our session rocked.  It was so much fun and the light was absolutely gorgeous!!!  I had such a great time getting to know K&J.  It felt like we were long lost friends.  Their wedding in July is going to be an insane 2 day event!  I can’t wait.

Jennifer & Ben | Calgary Heritage Park Wedding

October 6th, 2010

At the end of August, I had the honor of covering Jenn & Ben’s wedding.  Some of you may remember them from our unique e-session that we shot at the Westjet Hangar at the Calgary International Airport.  Well, they finally got married, but this time Ryan couldn’t make it due to a family emergency, so [...]

 

At the end of August, I had the honor of covering Jenn & Ben’s wedding.  Some of you may remember them from our unique e-session that we shot at the Westjet Hangar at the Calgary International Airport.  Well, they finally got married, but this time Ryan couldn’t make it due to a family emergency, so I called upon my good friend and Calgary family photographer, Bao To to come assist me.  As usual, I started the day off at J&B’s house, which is pretty much down the street from me.  It sure is nice to leave my house 5 mins before I am supposed to be somewhere!  When I arrived all the groomsmen were ready and so was Ben, who was looking mightily handsome.  Once I was done in Panorama Hills, I headed down to Woodbine in south Calgary, where Jenn was getting ready in the house she grew up in.  There, I met up with Bao, and we started doing the coverage of the girls.  The house was a buzz with a lot of energy when we arrived.  After some fun getting ready photos, we had Jenn’s dad wait downstairs.  Jenn then came down and her dad saw her for the first time in her bridal dress in grand fashion!  She looked simply stunning and you can tell on everyone’s face that that was the consensus.

The wedding ceremony was held on a green space behind Jenn’s childhood home in Woodbine.  The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony, which was a nice sweet one.  After their vows we headed straight up to Heritage Park, where the wedding reception was being held.  We shot all our photos of J&B and their wedding party right there until reception time.  Their reception was held at the Wainright Hotel in true western fashion.

Jenn & Ben, I had an amazing time covering your wedding and I know Bao did as well.  You guys are truly a match made in heaven.  I am so happy and proud that you love your photos so much.  There’s nothing more a wedding photographer  could ever ask for.  I am so glad you found me and took the leap to book me, otherwise I never would have met you both.  I’m looking forward to more Flames games together!!  Congratulations!
