Shannon and Scott tie the knot

The reason I love weddings: seeing two people who are madly in love be so excited to take this step and look towards the future. I think that's why most people love them - yes I'm so authentic - but Shannon and Scott are the epitome of this! They have been best friends for years and according to Shannon's family they FINALLLLLYYYYY took the next step almost two years ago. This wedding was fabulous and I think I can vouch for everyone that they had a great time seeing these two love birds tie the knot. I think you'll see just what I mean when you look at the photos. Enjoy the ceremony by candlelight at the Muttart Conservatory. (Yes nighttime wedding means we did the formals beforehand, being a part of their 'first meeting' was a great honour).

Hair styling at Dandy Salon - and the bride cried her stylist did such a great job. Momma Darla getting her son Kai ready for the big day!

These two were patient as I made Shannon approach slowly - nothing like building the excitement!!!

Erin and Chris are having a baby

You've seen this beautiful couple before, Chris and Erin Chalmers. I photographed their engagement pictures about two years ago now. Is it two years guys? Anyways, the next step in their life has come and they are the proud parents of a beautiful young man, Logan Richard Harrison Chalmers. If this boy doesn't melt your heart, well then you're missing that vital organ. Here's a nice little mix of their newborn photos, taken just six days after Logan was born, followed by Erin's big belly. Logan was a little early so we're glad we got these shots when we did, only a couple of weeks prior. He's beautiful and so perfect, congrats to you guys!

Katie and Simon will be tying the knot..

And I'm invited to photograph them! Cannot wait. But first, let's get the engagement shots. Funny story with this one, locked my keys in the trunk of my car but AMA timed it perfectly as we just wrapped shooting when he pulled up. Katie, Simon, your patience is great appreciated although it was a good laugh! Cannot wait for Ontario, June 2011 - we're going to have so much fun with your wedding. Now check out this hot couple...

Appelman Family Photos

I'm a bit behind on my posts, but don't worry folks I haven't forgotten you faithful followers! Everyone, meet the Appelman family. They were an absolute hoot to photograph down at the University of Alberta. It helped that we had absolutely perfect conditions!

Rebecca and Pat tie the knot

It has been quite the busy long weekend, but what a great Sunday I was treated to. I had the chance to photography Pat and Rebecca's wedding, who I met through my friend Sean. They had both the ceremony and reception at the Union Bank Inn which was a stunning venue and kudos to the kitchen staff the food was outstanding!

I have to say I was lucky enough to stay afterwards for the party, and they put on a great show. I don't think anyone left without a huge smile on their face. I'm hoping they're smiling as they look at these pictures... here's a few samples of the beautiful couple.

What good lookin' boys! That's my friend Sean on the far left!

Clockwork weddings shoot

Say hello to the ladies of Clockwork Weddings, Catherine and Karen. Sisters who can design your wedding from start to finish and trust me, it will be beautiful. They asked me to get some shots of them working, of course I was on board. I met Catherine in the wonderful world of television, and when we found out we were both now in the wedding industry we were more than excited to hop on board and help each other out! I digress, they just did a quick "set up" while I shot them and what they just quickly put together was stunning...so imagine what they could do if they had the time to plan it!

Here they are Cat and Karen... you can check out there work at www.clockworkweddings.com

Ara and Dwayne's wedding

I feel so privileged to have been able to shoot Ara and Dwayne's wedding. These two are such great people and their wedding party was just as delightful. Oftentimes photographers can be "challenged" by the groups but these folks were so easy going and made my job very easy.

Its been raining all week but we got great weather for this one. I'm just home from the wedding but here are some early shots!
