Introducing Cindy & Kevin | Calgary Engagement Photography

Meet Cindy and Kevin.  They were one of the last 2010 couples to book and they didn’t want to wait for their turn in front of my camera!  We first started out shooting at Bowmont Park and we were literally eaten by thousands of mosquitoes.  Yes, those little buggers are back.  We all got tons of bites, but some of the shots we got were worth it.  Every image I edited, I had to remove all the mosquitoes buzzing around Cindy and Kevin.  When we could handle it anymore we left and went into Bowness to finish off the session.  The photos from the second location turned out much better.  Easy to understand why!  No mosquitoes!  Next time, I am packing repellent!  C&K are getting married later this in September.

JT Images Best of 2009 | Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and Banff Wedding Photography

2009 was an amazing year personally for me and for JT Images.  We had the honour of photographing 21 weddings and also did 2 trash the dress and a day after wedding session.  We shot weddings in Calgary, Edmonton, Banff and Red Deer.  Somewhere in there I also did 15 engagement sessions.  On top of that, I hosted my own “Just to Inspire” wedding photography workshop for the first time ever, here in Calgary.  All of this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family and friends, and especially Ryan, who assisted me on 95% of the weddings.  Muchos gracias, mi amigo!

My biggest thanks goes out to all my wonderful and amazing clients.  I am truly honoured to have been chosen to photograph such an important event in your lives and to be a part of it.  I really hope you will cherish all the wonderful images we made together, for all eternity.  I know I will!

Once I finished the last wedding of the season, I couldn’t wait to get started on my yearbook and this slide show.  My book hasn’t arrived yet, but when it does, I’ll be sure to share that with you all.  But for now, here are the images that made it in the book in a slide show presentation.  It was hard to narrow it down to 140 images, out the tens of thousands that I shot last year, but I did it.  Well, what are you waiting for???  Hit play!

Grace & Chris | Calgary Wedding Photographer

Grace and Chris went on super long honeymoon in Hawaii, thanks to my recommendation.  Of course they loved it there, I mean who doesn’t?  Their wedding was last month and I can finally share the photos from their day on the blog.  The ceremony was a very nice one at the Hillhurst United Church in Kensingston.  After the ceremony is when we had our fun and did their wedding day photos in downtown Calgary.  We had fun just walking around looking for shooting opportunities and we found lots!  The reception was held at the Sheraton Eau Claire and the ballroom was transformed into a beautiful wedding venue.  They had the one of the coolest and most different centerpieces I have seen and photographed this year.  It was simple, but elegant.

Congrats on your wedding you guys!  You 2 were made for each other.  Thanks for having Ryan and I capture your beautiful day!

Leslie & Nick | Calgary Wedding Photographers

We photographed Leslie and Nick’s wedding at the Calgary Art Gallery on September 5th in a beautiful, emotion filled ceremony.  The day started at the International Hotel in downtown Calgary where I met up with Leslie and her sister.  After shooting Leslie’s prep we headed down to the Calgary Art Gallery where we met up with Nick.  The ceremony was packed with all their friends and family who came to witness their union.  After a sweet ceremony, it was time to for a little fun in the gallery and around downtown Calgary.  I love doing wedding photography in downtown Calgary, there are just so many creative opportunities!  All we did was walk around a 3 block radius and we got some really amazing stuff.  The reception was held at Leslie’s father’s restaurant, Harbour City Restaurant in Chinatown.

Thank you Leslie & Nick.  You guys were obviously meant for each other and look so good together.  Just by the connection you have with each other and the way you are together.  I am sure you will have a long, love filled marriage with pretty babies.  Thank you so much for trusting Ryan and I on your most important day of your lives.  We hope you love your wedding photos as much as we loved creating them for you both.

Jenn & Khang | Calgary Wedding Photography

Jenn & Khang are one of the couples I absolutely love.  These 2 are the most down to earth people I have met.  I have been looking forward to photographing their wedding all year.  We started the day at Jenn’s parent’s house in northeast Calgary.  When we walked in, we knew we wanted to shoot the prep in the living room.  After moving some stuff around we had an awesome open space with very nice natural light flooding in.  After Jenn’s prep photos, we headed to Chestermere for the ceremony.  Many loved ones showed up for the beautiful ceremony right by the lake.  Even boaters were rubber necking.

I had scouted a location the day before, just outside Calgary, but when we got there they told us we weren’t allowed to shoot there.  i was totally choked and had a limo driver and a wedding party of 12 people waiting for me to make a decision.  I quickly made a decided to shoot the photos in the back of an industrial park near the Calgary International Airport.  Since we were in such a secluded (think drinking), quite place with lots of shade, we ended doing all the photography there.

The reception was held at Forbidden City Restaurant at Pacific Place mall in the northeast.  They always have the best Chinese wedding food compared to most other places in Calgary.  The reception was one huge party, as it should be.  Lots of alcohol, lots of laughter, lots of tears and lots of love for Jenn and Khang.  Exactly the way it should be.

Congrats Jenn & Khang.  I am really glad to have met and got to know you both.  We have so much in common that I am sure there will be more hanging out in the future…… Tiesto, Flames, Parties ;)  I am looking forward to watching your marriage grow.

Grace & Chris – Sneak Peek | Calgary Wedding Photographer

Grace & Chris were meant for each other.  They have been together since they were teenagers and proof that love at first sight exists.  There’s is nothing more special than to photograph a couple who have only loved each other.  More on them when they get back from their JT approved honeymoon in Maui!  I hope you both like these 2 photos for your sneak peek to make want more!!

Cindy & Jeff | Calgary Wedding Photography

When I met these 2 gorgeous people, I knew I couldn’t wait to photograph their wedding day.  Cindy & Jeff look good together and they are really into each other too!  We went out to one of Calgary’s untouched inner city nature reserves, Nose Hill Park,  to do our wedding photos.  On any given day, you could see deer, foxes, hawks, porcupines, skunks on Nose Hill.  There are even endemic plants that are not found anywhere in the world, except onNose Hill Park.  We took advantage of the foilage and beautiful open spaces.

Cindy & Jeff had one of the best wedding receptions I have been to in the last little while.  The Calgary Polish Center was decorated and transformed into a beautiful banquet hall.  There was lots of dancing, drinking and people having a great time celebrating the union of these 2 awesome people.   Thank you so much for having me at your wedding and creating memories for you.  Congratulations!

Lily & Sheldon | Calgary Wedding Photography

Lily & Sheldon’s wedding went off without a hitch in Calgary on a very hot August day.  We started the day right at Faith Lutheran Church where Lily put on her beautiful dress.   The turnout for the little church was impressive, as it was filled with close friends and family who were ready to witness L&S get married.   You could see the joy in their eyes as they stood at the alter.  I don’t think they both even stopped smiling.  After a very nice ceremony, we headed out to do our photos.  The first place we stopped was right by the river.  It was a hot day, so there were lots of people floating down the bow and we heard many congrats and cheers for our newlyweds.  After a lot of praises, a truck went by and someone said “sucker” to which all of us had a really good laugh.  I was able to get permission to shoot in an appliance store the day before and we had a ton of fun shooting in there.  We used everything from the fridges, ovens, to washer and dryers to microwaves!  Congrats you guys I hope you love your photos.  You both really deserve each other. :)
