Britni & Eric | Calgary Glencoe Club | Wedding Photographers in Calgary

Britni and Eric’s wedding at the Calgary Glencoe Club was our first wedding of the year.  Ryan and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple and wedding to start the year off with.  Britni and Eric are huge dog lovers, Eric is a dog trainer, so it was fitting that they would have their wedding ceremony at an off leash park.  They chose Tom Campbell’s Hill Natural Park that also provided a great view of downtown Calgary.  Of course the day started off with the prep for both bride and groom.  We met up with Eric at one of his groomsmen’s condo near Stampede Park.  There we found the boy buzzing with excitement for the day and soon shooters of tequila were lined up to get themselves going.  When we were done there we met up with Britni and her girls at her parent’s house in Harvest Hills.  Of course their place was a buzz with excitement as well but no shooters were found here.  Britni looked absolutely gorgeous when she got into her wedding dress.  She looked stunning and we couldn’t wait to photograph her.

When we got to Tom Campbell’s Hill, we found ourselves riding on a golf cart to the ceremony location, which was a little further in from the road.  Britni arrived in an SUV limo in grand fashion and soon the ceremony would begin.  We stayed at the park to do some of our photos of them and wedding party before heading downtown to shoot some more.  None of us will ever forget how a downpour of rain crossed the street and then dumped on us.  That was one of the craziest weather phenomenons I have ever experienced.  It went from no rain to a full on downpour!  And course there’s the story with the security guards telling us we can not take pictures on a public sidewalk.  We easily won that argument.

Britni and Eric surprised their guests with a Chinese Lion Dance at the reception which was held at the Glencoe Club.  The rest of the night was quite the party and we had a great time documenting it all.  Sonia Ulmer and her team from Enriched Events did a spectacular job making sure the day went smoothly.

Congrats to Britni and Eric.  Your wedding was fabulous!!  Thanks for having Ryan and I be a part of it.  You both make a great looking couple and I am sure your future human kiddies will be just as good looking!

Eryn & Adam | Calgary Zoo Wedding | Calgary Photographer

I had a great time last night with Eryn & Adam.  I was excited all week to have them come in and see their wedding photos, but after last night, I felt like I really got to know them even better.  These 2 are some of the nicest people I have ever met and they are so perfect for each other it’s beyond words.  Eryn & Adam their wedding at the Calgary Zoo.  Both of them are huge animal lovers, so the zoo just made sense.  They both have their obsessions, besides each other.  Eryn is really into Disney and Adam is really into super heroes.  So you just knew how this wedding was going to go down!

Ryan and I started the day with Adam’s groom prep in Harvest Hills in NW Calgary.  When we arrived we started shooting details, and Adam had these super cool Superman cuff links and a Superman pendant.  When he put on the pendant, I knew exactly what shot I wanted.  I am also a HUGE Superman fan, ever since I was little.  I used to dress up as Superman all the time.  What a perfect chance to get one where it looks like he’s about to rip off his shirt to show the logo.  When this image came up on the same day slide show, it got a huge cheer.  Eryn was getting ready at the Delta Hotel in downtown Calgary.  Her room was a buzz with lots of people and wedding day nerves.  We went out to the elevator lobby to take her portraits where the light was just fantastic.

The day threatened us with rain, but with my extremely usual luck of good weather on wedding days, it stayed again once again.  The ceremony was out door on the lawn in front of the  butterfly conservatory at the Calgary Zoo.  But before the ceremony we had time to create some photos, we did just that.  We setup a first look for Eryn and Adam, since we wanted that moment to be special for them, then we were off for the first pre ceremony photos.  After the ceremony we stayed on the zoo grounds to finish up the photos before the reception.

Congratulations Eryn & Adam.  You guys are truly wonderful people and I know you guy will be together forever.  Thank you so much for trusting me with your big day.

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.

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.
