Susan and Brian were not only great clients, they are now good friends. I had the extraordinary opportunity of taking part in their quiet, secluded wedding ceremony in Kananaskis country out in the fine province of Alberta. I must confess that after living in Calgary for 3 years that I never checked out Kananaskis while I was there, even though it is not terribly far from Calgary. It’s kind of a shocker to me really.

It was such a unique way of sharing their vows. Only moms, dad, grandma and brothers and sister were there to share in the moments of this day, which made it such a special event for them. The views were incredible!

Afterwards, it was great to be able to wander the park for the awesomeness that was nature and grab some special shots. We went way overtime because there simply weren’t enough hours to capture all that surrounded us, but it was worth it.

This day however was not to be outdone by Part 2: the fun with family and friends out back in their home province of Manitoba. Stay tuned for that event, which included ferris wheels, bumper cars, beaches, sun and sand and whole lot in between. You’ll want to book mark this one.

Hey blog fans. So a long time coming, this post is. I am making it a priority over the next couple of months to make sure I blog the rest of the fabulous weddings, and other sessions I have done up until now. If you start checking back regularly, chances are you will see something new each time you come back.

We’ll start this off with the debut of Julia and Daniel. I say debut because this was one of the few weddings I have done where we didn’t have a pre-shoot of any kind. Daniel and Julia had been out of the province for a part of their engagement while Julia went to school. Daniel was also stationed in the armed forces during this time.
So Daniel and Julia were newbies in front of my lens, but it certainly didn’t show. They aren’t shy at all when it comes to posing in front of the camera and neither was the wedding party, which consisted of all the boys in the family (Julia has 4 brothers, Daniel has 2, see pic below.) It was great that everyone was so open to the ideas of what we did and where we went for wedding shots, as it did rain, and was more than a little windy out.
These two make a wonderful couple as they have a lot of the same interests and very similar personalities. They will do some great things in life.

Check out a select few shots from their day:
