Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you and yours, from me and mine.

Friends

I don't often post non-photography things here, but this you-tube link was sent to me today by a woman friend, and I wanted to share my gratitude.

I have been so lucky over the last few years to reconnect with many of my women friends, and to really understand what it means to be supported and loved by good women.

Thank you for being my friend.

(get your kleenex out if you just put on your make up, like I did :) )

Guess what this is!

If you guess right, I'll give you the name of my plumber :)

Jessica and Stuart

Jessica, the editor of the Rat Creek Press (which I photograph for) asked me to take pictures wedding pictures for her and Stuart. Of course I said yes!

I captured some of my favourite bridal pictures ever!


Here is the handsome Stuart.

They are a perfect match. They met at church, but both work in media (Stuart is in broadcasting).

Their wedding was December 6th, and in Alberta, that presents a bit of a technical challenge on the location for photos. Jessica booked the Muttart Hall, which is a perfect location. All the lights in the hall are adjustable, and it has the added bonus of a grand piano on stage (which Jessica can play.)

At first I was nervous about photographing inside, but when I saw the hall, I was thrilled with the possibilities for awesome dramatic lighting.

We really wanted to do some outdoor pictures capturing the beautiful Christmas lights at night - but, December in Alberta - there were several inches of snow, and there was freezing rain, so we decided to skip the outdoors!
Thank you Jessica and Stuart for inviting me to share your special day.
