E-session

June 25, 2010 – 2:40 am

In a couple months from now I’ll be photographing this local couple’s wedding, so for a warm up, we did an engagement session. These are a good idea to do, cause then the guys find out that I’m not so bad, and it won’t be nearly as painful as they may have expected. Right Mr. H?? Getting your picture taken can be a little bit of fun. I try to make it so anyway! Waaaay back, about 11 years ago, I photographed this guy’s sister’s wedding. It was one of my very first ones, and they were so wonderful to take a chance on me when I was so new to photograph. My style, experience and camera gear sure has changed in that length of time (I’m one of the rare younger photographers who actually worked with film for a number of years before the digital revolution!) I’m looking forward to your wedding. You guys have been blessed with great weather for your sessions, so I’m sure your wedding will be spectacular!!

Engagement - #2

March 4, 2010 – 11:42 am

By the time we started this second engagement session, it was already 5:00 p.m. (so happy that it’s staying light a little later these days!!!) We came across a beautiful Mountain Ash tree, filled with dried red berries. Jackpot!! It was stunning with the low light hitting it, and they were an affectionate couple, so we got lots of romantic ones in this area. Though winter is more of a challenge shooting outdoor sessions, you can get so many pretty shots with the snowy scenery.

Saturday engagement session - #1

March 3, 2010 – 1:06 am

Saturday was a busy day. I had the little guy from the last post, this couple and another couple after them (as well as a wedding consultation and a grad student’s cap & gown pics! Full, full day). I’ve known this girl for quite a few years, since she is the dance instructor for our local dance group (which is boasting a crew of around 70 students this year!!). I’ll be photographing their wedding this coming summer, so they’ll be making more appearances here in the future….

November sessions, still no snow!

November 23, 2009 – 1:13 pm

This couple made the long trip from Saskatoon for their session, so I was thrilled that the weather cooperated! I would have never thought a session in mid november would be #1, without snow, and #2, warm enough to shoot an entire session! Their pup was so sweet and well behaved, and we were able to go around town and get a good variety of locations. Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy schedule guys! You’ll be seeing these two again, next summer for their wedding.

Friday afternoon

November 10, 2009 – 9:26 am

This was the second of two sessions on friday. And another reoccuring couple! I photographed this girl’s grad as well, and they were a couple already back then too! They brought their pup along, and she got in on a few pics. She matches the dry grass so well.

Engaged!

November 5, 2009 – 3:56 pm

This couple is one of my weddings for next summer. They were super sweet, and she even gave me a big hug after we were all done. :) Thanks guys for coming down, and for booking with me for next year. We’ll have a blast.

Just because

October 26, 2009 – 12:57 pm

On friday afternoon this couple made the trip out from Regina to do a photo session together, just because. I think more couples should do this, not just when they get engaged or married. Just simply to capture their connection! We managed to find some color in the trees, although the leaves are quickly dissapearing around town. Thanks for coming out guys. It was great to meet you.

“Fall”ing in love

October 3, 2009 – 2:37 am

O.k. I know that the title of this post is completely cheezy, but come on. It’s hard thinking of headings! So since it’s fall, and this is an engagement session, it’s going to be called “Falling in Love”. If my joke is lame, so be it.

This couple is going to tie the knot in a little less than a year, and I got to meet them for the first time today. They’re a great pair and we had a good time together this afternoon. Weather turned in our favor after lunch, and we got lots of sunshine, and no wind. Perfecto! Good luck with the next year of planning the wedding!

First 2010 couple

September 9, 2009 – 6:51 pm

While I’m still in the midst of 2009 weddings, I had a 2010 couple come down for their engagement session. I’ve got a full year next year, and these two were among the first to book. It was nice to get to meet them, and despite injuring myself, I had a great time with them. Mosquitos were out in full swing, but inbetween batting them away, we got some cool shots. Thanks for coming down guys, and thanks for all the medical advice!

I love this first shot. So romantic! It took us awhile to find a standing wheat field, but it was worth it.

A change of pace

May 5, 2009 – 2:30 am

We shall take a short intermission from our regular scheduled grad sessions, to bring you one about LOVE. :) I’m photographing these high school sweetheart’s wedding in August, and they popped in saturday night for their engagement session. We had beautiful light, and drove all over finding new locations to shoot at. Their wedding will be near the gorgeous Qu’appelle Valley, so we’re sure to have some more awesome images from that, especially since it’s in August. I’m so excited! I love august weddings. In my opinion, that’s THE best month to get married (although my wedding was in June!). There is just a different light in August that’s so romantic, and soft. I LOVE it! Best of luck with your remaining planning guys! Thanks for making another trip home for the session.
