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.

The wedding ceremony and reception was held at the Al Ahzar Shriners.  The ceremony took place outdoor with a nice overcast sky above us, which gave us awesome shadowless and squintless photos.  After the ceremony S&E gave us a lot of time with them and we shot a ton for them.  As wedding photographers, we also ask our couples for the most time as possible.  And every time we do get all that time, we end up with lots of excellent photos for the album.  We spent most of our time shooting right by the Al Azhar Shriners.  When a change of scenery was needed, we went into Bowness and got some photos there as well.  During the shooting, I really noticed how much in love Shannon and Edward really are.  It was so easy to work with them and the connection was so real.  They couldn’t stop smiling or holding each other all day.

Congratulation you guys.  It was a huge pleasure to have had the honor of creating these life long memories for you both.  I wish all the best for you both in your marriage and your blossoming careers.
