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.

Introducing Amber & Aaron | Calgary Engagement Photography

Introducing Amber and Aaron!  Aaron found me hanging out on my favorite Flames forum called Calgarypuck.  At first Amber wasn’t sure if a hockey forum was the right place to be looking for a wedding photographer in Calgary.  Good thing for me, Amber liked my work.  A&A both really wanted have a few photos taken on the carousel at Chinook Mall.  We eventually ended our shoot at a Tim Horton’s, the company Amber is a lawyer for.  She figured her fellow co-workers would get a kick out of seeing a few photos of her in front of a Tim Horton’s.

Amber and Aaron will probably have one of the more extravagant weddings this year that I will have the honor of covering.  They are getting married at the Palliser with a Cirque du Soleil themed wedding.  Yes, you can let your imagination run wild with this one.  There will be performers!  Did I ever mention, I love my job?  I am so excited about their wedding and I can’t wait for June 12th!

Christina & Lenny’s e-session sneak peek!

Rarely do I do a sneak peek of an engagement session, but I had to share this photo right now!!  As soon I got home from the session I knew I had to work on it right away.  We had our session in the badlands in Drumheller, AB, 75 minutes east of Calgary.  There will be more from this hot session later this week.  For now here’s one, enjoy!!

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!

Introducing Jennifer & Benjamin at the Westjet Hangar!

Jennifer and Ben (also known as Beniffer) are another one of my 2010 couples.   Jenn and Ben both work in the airline industry here in Calgary.  With those kinds of hookups, we had no problem shooting their engagement photos in one of the coolest locations we have shot in yet.  The Westjet Hangar at the Calgary International Airport!

Introducing Danielle & Jonathan

Dani & Jon’s are the first 2010 couple to have an engagement session with me.  Their wedding will be held in May at the beautiful Silver Tip Golf Course in Canmore.  A venue I have yet to shoot in so I am looking forward to it big time.  We had to reschedule this session a couple times due to weather.  Aren’t we glad we did???  All the snow melted and the temperature was warm, we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Introducing Jenn & Khang | Calgary Engagement Photography

Jenn and Khang’s wedding is coming up this Saturday.  We did their engagement session around Calgary a couple weeks ago and I can’t believe I almost forgot to post this session up.  Without further ado, Jenn and Khang!

Introducing Grace & Chris – Calgary Engagement Photography

Meet Grace and Chris.  As you can see with these two, they have style!  They both wanted to head out of Calgary to Kananaskis for their session.  We’ve been planning for this engagement session for a while, but due to the unpredictable southern Alberta weather, we just couldn’t get out.  Well, we finally did and it was wicked.  The weather was perfect and the Rocky mountains, as always, was picture perfect.  All our shots were done along highway 40.  In my opinion highway 40 is one of the most beautiful stretches of highway anywhere in the world.  The views are spectacular as you drive though the Rockies.  Surprisingly, this was G&C’s first time down the 40.  Its a gem so close to home, everyone should take a day trip out here.  These two are getting hitched in August.  Keep an eye out for their wedding photos on the blog.

Custom Designed Guestbooks | Calgary Engagement Photography

A lot of clients ask me “what can we do with the photos from our engagement session afterwards?”  The most popular option we have for our clients are our awesome guestbooks.  These guestbooks are not your typical guestbooks you buy at a Michael’s.  These books are customed designed just for you with your engagement photos in them.  With the old traditional book, do you really think you will ever look at your guest registry again?  Most people will store it in a box somewhere in their basement.  With our books, I guarantee you will put it on your bookself or coffee table and share it with friends who come over.  After all, it’s also got great photos in them!  If you don’t like the idea of people writing in your book, of course we can design it more like an album instead.  Images created by us are meant to be presented in a nice album or book and not left of your hard drive.

Dara & John | Calgary Engagement Sessions

Dara & John will be officially married in late August, so we had to get the e-session done to get their guest book made in time. I wanted to head down to 17th ave and shoot around there for a while, but John wanted to a place he saw near Eau Claire. Dara & John already have an eye for photography, because where we went was simply incredible. Definitely one of my favorite locations EVER. As the sun was going down John really wanted to go up top to a parkade roof. It took a little bit of exploring, but we managed to find our way up. And WOW! Thank god we were persistent. We got some amazing shots as the sun started to really glow and gave us unbelievable light to work with. As you can tell, Dara and John were naturals at looking good for me. Now, I am excited for their wedding!
