Courtney & Geoff have finally seen their wedding photos from their spectacular destination wedding at the Riu in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.  39 of us left Calgary on February 5th headed for sand, sun, fun and of course to witness C&G tropical wedding.  I really liked the fact the ceremony wasn’t until day 5 of the trip.  It really allowed me time to get to know C&G and their friends better.  During those days I really felt a strong connection with C&G.  I knew once we connected, they would trust me and we would create some fabulous images together.

The day started with the girls in the salon getting their hair done.  Once that was complete, I headed up to where the boys were getting ready and got some photos of Geoff and his boys.  When I finished there, I headed over to Courtney’s bridesmaid’s room where the girls were getting ready.  The room was a spectacular suite with a view of the gorgeous, blue and green Caribbean Sea.  The balcony made a for a wicked shooting spot with the sea as my backdrop.

The ceremony was held in typical tropical fashion… on the beach!  Wouldn’t we all love to get married on a beach?  The ceremony was short and very sweet.  It was so fun to shoot with such an amazing backdrop.  It makes my job that much easier.  After shooting some of C&G photos on the beach, we hired a driver to drive us around near the resort.  We stopped at random places as we drove with no particular plan in mind.  I always love doing as it really pushes you to see things quickly.  We got lucky and found a a couple cool spots, including a broken down, deserted building that used to be a bar by the ocean.

Man do I love destinations weddings.  However, it’s really tough to be away from the family for so long, because I always wished they were there with me.   The only 2 people I knew in the whole group was C&G. Even with them, I have maybe spent a total of 4 hours with them, so this trip was kind of nerve racking to me.  Not really knowing anyone, you never know what can happen.  I am so happy to say that I made 38 new friends.  Everyone was really nice and easy to get along with as I expected, because of the way C&G are.  It made missing the family a lot easier.  I was a heck of a week and I am so thankful to have met all the people I did on this trip.

Thanks for trusting me and bringing me a long to Jamaica for your wedding.  It was awesome to spend a week with you guys and get to know you so intimately.  I hope you love your wedding photos as much as I do!

Kate and Roy had their wedding here in Calgary at the end of October in grand fashion.  Nothing was spared when it came to making sure their wedding was perfect.  We started the photography at the Delta Hotel in south Calgary, where the whole wedding party was there.  Kate and Roy were staying in rooms next door to each other, so it made photographing the prep much easier.  Kate gorgeous dress was a custom design by  Ines Di Santo.  The dress and cathedral veil was beautifully detailed with Swarovsky crystals.  Roy rocked a luxurious Georgio Armani suit with Prada shoes.

The wedding ceremony was held at St Mark’s Church in NE Calgary, where Kate arrived in style with her parents in a vintage Rolls Royce.  The wedding ceremony had the most well dressed congregation we have ever seen.  After the ceremony, we headed downtown Calgary to shoot photographs of the K&R.  Once we wrapped that up, we headed back to the South Delta Hotel. We finished our photos of the reception room and all the details that Jasmine, and her team from Reflections Wedding Design, had put together.  The room was absolutely amazing.  Not a single detail was spared.  It looked like a wedding that was from a dream, then executed in real life.  It was that amazing.

Congratulations, Kate and Roy!  Thanks for having us there to capture these important memories for you.  Ryan and I wish you both all the best.

Julie & Howard | 10.10.10. | Calgary Wedding Photographer

November 7th, 2010

It seems like forever when I met Julie and Howard for the first time.  They came to me looking a Calgary wedding photographer who was as excited for their wedding as they were.  Their wedding took place on October 10th, 2010 here in Calgary.  A 10.10.10. wedding!  This date happens once every 100 years and [...]
 

It seems like forever when I met Julie and Howard for the first time.  They came to me looking a Calgary wedding photographer who was as excited for their wedding as they were.  Their wedding took place on October 10th, 2010 here in Calgary.  A 10.10.10. wedding!  This date happens once every 100 years and on this day, it would be Julie and Howard’s big day.

The day started at Julie & Howard’s home in NW Calgary.  Of course only Julie and her girls were there getting ready.  Soon after all the girls got ready, Howard and his crew had arrived to the house for the tea ceremony.  In true Chinese fashion, the girls didn’t make it easy for Howard to come see his bride.  The first thing the bridesmaids made Howard and the boys do, was eat gummi worms of panties that Howard was wearing.  Yes, that last sentence would be useless without photos, so look below!  They weren’t done after that as they also made the boys spin themselves to dizziness while placing an egg in a bucket without breaking it.  And if that was bad enough, nothing was worst than having to eat marshmallows filled with sriracha hot sauce.   Oh man, pure torture for these boys.  Some of the worst I have ever witnessed.  Once the girls were done having fun with the guys, they let them in.  But before Howard could see his bride, he had to sign an “agreement” that drew many laughs.

Howard finally was able to get Julie, who was hiding upstairs, patiently waiting for her groom.  We all went back downstairs and started the tea ceremony and immediately after that it was ceremony time at the Valley Ridge Golf Course in NW Calgary.  After the ceremony, we stayed and shot a few photos of the bridal party and of course J&H.  Valley Ridge Golf Course is situated in the Bow River valley, which is a beautiful natural area.  There was lots of yellow leaves on the trees and we had a spectacular fall setting to play with.  Once we wrapped up there I took Julie and Howard to downtown Calgary to finish our wedding photography.

Congrats Julie & Howard!  Your wedding was full of energy and the negotiation to see Julie in the morning was something I will always remember!  You guys really worked the camera for us and you both looked amazing in front of our cameras.  I am very happy and proud you both love your wedding photos so much and invested in us.

Another thanks goes to my friend Bao who helped me, last minute, with this wedding.  Thanks for having my back.

Jennifer & Ben | Calgary Heritage Park Wedding

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!

Sara & Drew’s Wedding | Calgary Wedding Photographer

The day started at Drew’s parent’s house where the boys were all getting ready.  We found a shed in the back yard that we chose to use as our backdrop for Drew’s portraits.  It worked out great as we had awesome light flooding in and lines for composition.  We headed to Sara’s parent’s house after [...]
 

The day started at Drew’s parent’s house where the boys were all getting ready.  We found a shed in the back yard that we chose to use as our backdrop for Drew’s portraits.  It worked out great as we had awesome light flooding in and lines for composition.  We headed to Sara’s parent’s house after and we found the bride getting airbrushed.  This was not the first time Sara has been in front of my camera.  While Sara was getting her makeup done, that gave us a chance to shoot photos of her beautiful bridal dress.  Once Sara was ready to put on her dress, the girls and mom all gathered in a cute little pink room to get Sara ready.

The wedding ceremony took place at the Triwood Community Centre in northwest Calgary.  The wedding ceremony was quite short and sweet just how S&D wanted it. Once the ceremony was over we headed to Ghost Lake just past Cochrane, west of Calgary.  We found a couple nice spots to do all our wedding photos.  It was quite awesome to be honest.  S&D were so easy to work with because they were so into each other.  Sometimes I wondered if they remembered Ryan and I was there photographing them.  We took advantage of the scenery until there as nothing else we could do.  We all headed back to the Triwood Community Centre where the reception was being held.

Congrats Sara & Drew.  It was such a huge honor to have captured your wedding.  I am so ecstatic you both love your wedding photos as much as I do.  I wish you both all the best.  You guys are so lucky to have each other. :)
