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.

Jennifer and Jason finally got married on June 26th at the Hyatt in downtown Calgary.  The day started as usual with the boys prep, where I met Jason and his boys in their hotel room.  Jen had surprised Jason with an Apple iPad as a gift.  She told me in advanced she wanted me to get photos of him reading the note she left him on the iPad.  It was such a sweet note that I think made Jason’s heart melt.  I think he wanted to cry, but his boys were there and you know…. guys don’t do that in front of other guys.  After shooting the boys, it was the girl’s turn.  I met them a floor away in their room.  Their room was a buzz as all the girls were getting ready.  I shot Jennifer’s portraits right there on the hotel room bed.  She looked absolutely gorgeous with her birdcage veil and her specular dress on.  I didn’t want to stop shooting her, but we had to wrap up.

The wedding ceremony took place right at the Hyatt in the same ballroom where the reception would be held.  Jason came in like no other groom I have ever seen, giving low fives to all the people sitting in the aisle.  Awesome!  Jen of course walked down the aisle with her father and you could see the happiness in Jason’s eyes.  The ceremony was short and sweet and they left and the same grand way as they entered.

It was a beautiful day on this day and the sun was shining.  We walked along Stephen Avenue and it was packed with people.  Of course Jen and Jason turned a lot of heads and received a lot of congrats from random strangers.  Our first stop was Murietta’s restaurant for some drinks and snacks.  We shot some photos of them and their crazy wedding party while we were there.  But after that it was down to business.  Ryan and I took Jen & Jason away from the chaos that was Stephen Avenue.  We saw 4 other weddings down there on that day, and if any of you know me, I always avoid other weddings and crowds of people. We found our own secluded quiet spot downtown that was perfect for some romantic portraits.

When we came back to the Hyatt to shoot the reception details, we saw the most creative seating assignment “chart” we had ever seen.  The pictures say it all!

Congrats you guys.  I had such an awesome time getting to know you both and being a big part of your day.  Your wedding was fabulous and you both looked stunning and gorgeous with each other.

Toronto Wedding Photography Workshop – Calgary Wedding Photographer

March 17th, 2009

So I had a great time coming out to Dave and Charlotte‘s workshop and getting to know 7 photographers.  The flight from Calgary to Toronto didn’t come without any bumps though.  Westjet lost my bag, but that’s the risk when you fly standby.  Westjet promptly delivered it the next morning and made things right for [...]

 

So I had a great time coming out to Dave and Charlotte‘s workshop and getting to know 7 photographers.  The flight from Calgary to Toronto didn’t come without any bumps though.  Westjet lost my bag, but that’s the risk when you fly standby.  Westjet promptly delivered it the next morning and made things right for me with a nice credit.  I love Westjet, so it was easy to forgive them.  This was the first time ever I had ever lost my bag flying in my whole life.  The feeling sure sucked, but I was pretty confident I would have it back.

Our models for the day were Erin and Angela who were married about 6 months ago.  Of course D+C shot their wedding.  Angela seemed more than happy to get back in her wedding dress to have more photos.  Angela looked stunning as did our 2 other models.  Alana and Vlada.  Alana is new on the scene and this was great opportunity for her to build her portfolio.  She looked great in our wedding dress and was a trooper all day.  We also had professional russian model Vlada.  Vlada is in a league of her own when we did our bridal fashion shoot.  Her posing, look and attitude is what you would expect from a professional model whose resume includes L’Oreal, Diesel, Pure, Coors Light and the Venetian Hotel to name a few.  Without further ado, here are the images.

When the workshop ended Friday afternoon, it was go time for Michelle and I take see as much of DC as possible.  We went and saw the White House (from a forced distance) when we arrived on Saturday.  Since the workshop ran morning till night during the week, we didn’t get to see much.  We walked quite a bit and Jonas was a little trooper.  Here he is waiting for the metro.

We decided to take advantage of the free walking tour of DC.  It was voted the #1 thing to do in DC.  Our tour guide was awesome and very energetic.  He taught us a lot about the history of the United States.  He works for tips and was worth totally worth.  It was hard trying to stop and take photos while trying to keep up with the group.  One day of site seeing was not enough.  We will definitely go back to DC sometime because we really enjoyed the city quite a bit.  The people were surprisingly friendly and there was just so much to do.  I was disappointed we didn’t get to hit as many museums as I wanted.  The only one we managed was the crime and punishment museum which was awesome.  We have to go back one day soon and bring friends along as well.

The Washington Monument is impressive to say the least.  555 feet straight up to forever immortalize their first president.

Here is the World War II memorial.  All 50 states and their territories are represented and each star on the wall represent a fallen solider.  I believe that’s what our fast talking tour guide said.

The Vietnam War memorial was amazing.  The design, the look, the feel and the impact.  Of course it touches home a bit knowing these soldiers died for my people for our freedom.  I paid my respects with a moment of silence and read as many names as I could before losing my tour group.

The most impressive monument we saw in DC was definitely the Lincoln memorial.  So much history was made here including Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.  The monument is definitely greek inspired.  But the statue of Abraham Lincoln was a sight to be seen!  WOW!!  It was magnificent.  I could feel his presence when I was in there.  I didn’t know too much about what all Abe did, but after doing some reading, I must say he was quite the man.  Americans could use a man like him again in power.

Lan & Michael | Calgary Chinese Wedding Photography

This wedding was full of energy! I loved it. Lan & Michael booked me sort of last minute, but I am sure glad they did. The day started off the same as usual until the groom’s party came. I was stuck outside shooting them only to realize the bride’s party wouldn’t let them in the house without compensation (chinese tradition where money was given to enter bride’s home). I needed to get inside so that I could shoot the boys coming in. As soon as they opened the door for me, I realized I got used because the boys started to barge in fighting resistance from the inside. I was stuck in the middle!! It was all in good fun as the girls decided if they each did 50 push ups they would be allowed to enter. This is how the wedding started, can you imagine how it must have ended? Thanks Lan & Mike for having me capture your special and crazy fun day with you.
