Mag and Douglas

Mag and Douglas had a magical wedding day. It was pouring rain as the guests pulled up to their home, the sun came out for their ceremony and for a few minutes afterwards, and then it started raining again.

This wedding was beautiful and touching; the love and magic these two people brought together filled their home and graced their family and friends.

And, don't you just love how Douglas looks at Mag? That's something special.

Trash the Dress

Trash the Dress is a recent trend in wedding photography that allows photographers and brides to capture images that go beyond the ordinary.

Chris Uglanica set up a trash the dress session with Renee and Rob, a couple who's wedding he recently photographed. He invited Denise Neufeld and I to come and shoot with him.
Renee was amazing. The weather was cold, windy and without a word of complaint, Renee stood and led down in the pools at the Legislature in Edmonton, for nearly two hours. In between pools, Rob wrapped Renee in his arms to keep her warm.
This photoshoot was a lot of fun.









And here's a shot of Chris getting wet along with Rob and Renee.


Playing with a new style

I was playing around in Photoshop, which is highly addictive and I don't recommend it unless you have a little time to spare, and I processed a few images, completely overblowing the highlights to focus on the eyes.


These images are from a family shoot and a recent trash the dress session.

Patricia and Ryan

Patricia and Ryan are getting married next summer, and wanted some photos to celebrate their engagement. They love to golf together, which is convenient, because the Victoria Golf Course is a beautiful place for photographs.


They're really excited about their wedding, and I'm excited to go and take their photos.

Congratulations on your engagement!

These sweet children are Reegin and Lincoln. Reegin's 4, and was feeling a little shy at first, but she photographed beautifully. Lincoln's only 2 months old and is adorable.

They were a joy to photograph.

Angela and Geoffrey

Angela and Geoffrey were my very first clients who responded to an ad I posted on Craigslist. I had the privilege of taking their engagement photographs and the honour of capturing their wedding.

And what a beautiful wedding it was - Angela is a professor at the University of Alberta and their ceremony was at University Hall, which is a beautiful venue.

This was such a fun day, with lots of laughter, hugs, tears and joy.

Congratulations Angela and Geoffrey. Thank you for sharing your day with me.
